Re: Hi I am new to the group and fairly new to rheumatoid arthri...

[Guest guest]

Welcome Fran! I'm julie Yyes i too suffer from RA. I had it for many

years but was very stubborn about seeking any sort of help. Now that i look

back

on it, it was very stupid of me to do so. I'm only 27, and the thought of

this getting worse as i get older scares the hell out of me. With 2 young kids,

life is tough enough being healthy... I am currently taking methotrexate once

a week and Humira once every 2 weeks. Also added prednisone to the mix the

last 2 weeks or so because i am flaring i guess. Didnt take the pred last

night because i felt fine... Stupid mistake. Lets just say today was one of the

worst days i've had in a long time. Ok enough about me. These are a wonderfull

group of people i've come to love in the short time i have been here. tons

of usefull info too. Welcome again! HUGS talk soon
