Guest guest Posted July 1, 2006 Report Share Posted July 1, 2006 Hi all! I just joined because I feel I need to learn more about RA. I have been diagnosed with it since December. I also have fibromyalgia and am in intense pain today-even oxycontin has not touched it. I am 49 years old, married and worked as a RN in neonatal intensive care (sick babies) until lastmonth when I could no longer push myself. I just moved to Georgia to be closer to my parents who are both 80 to help them and to get some emotional support myself. My hubby has bad diabetes and has had a bone removed from his foot and is unable to walk without a big " ski " type boot. Some days when we are both bad it is awful. I am on methotrexate but have no relief with that. When I take prednisone it helps but I don't want to gain lots of weight since I am already heavy. Today I just want to fall off the planet or anything as long as the pain stops..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
