Yes, I did. At the time I was diagnosed, I could hardly move. My knees were not

about to cooperate and my hands were a mess and everything else hurt except my

left elbow [go figure!]. I could not even brush my teeth so much it hurt. As for

sleep ..... who can sleep with so much pain?

Within days, the pain went progressively away. Now, almost 2 years later, I

live a normal life, pretty much pain free and I am still on a minimum dose of

MXT and prednisone, that's it, no pain meds.

Some people do not even know I have RA and I like to keep it that way.... it's

sort of a " measuring stick " to let me know if I am still not showing any signs

of RA. It makes my day when people tell me I look so healthy. I hope it will

last a while longer.

I really was excited, I went to fireworks last nite and it was the first time in

5 years I did NOT use my scooter to go across the park. :-)

It was awesome!
