Saying Hello

[Guest guest]

Hello all, my name is Dawn and I live in south east iowa. I found out

I had RA this fall and have been seeing doctor after doctor. I am

taking neproxen, methotroxate, folic asid, lexipro, and welbatrin

(sorry if misspelled but I haven't really been interested in making

sure I spell them right augh). I have been having problems with

sleeping all the time. I mean I would wake up at seven get my son off

to school and come home to sleep until three pm. I went through a

sleep study and they said it is due to dression which is what I told

my doctor months and months ago. It is frustrateing to me when a

doctor won't listen to me about my body grrrr. At least when my hands

flared up and I told him my family has a history of RA he gave me a

test and found it early. My Aunt is in the advanse stages of RA and

has had a knee replaced and has lost the use of her left arm because

of the elbow. Hense my depression, I know what this can do. I was so

gald to find this group. It really helps to talk to others who are

where I am. Thank you.
