a,

I am not new to RA, but just wanted you to know you are not alone. We

all go through denial, and just try to do all we can to get better.

Its very important to get on RA meds to stop the progression of the

disease. I am always fatiqued, and in pain. I just deal with it the

best way I can. I have been off the RA meds for awhile, and I have

really went down. I do take Naproxen, pain meds,and muscle relaxers,

if not I could not function at all. Make sure you see the rheumy,

good luck. Were all here for you, and just know your never alone,

a,

You are not crazy. I believe you. I am no where near newly dx'ed, but

I wake up with frozen joints way more often than I like. Image your

ankle being frozen and you can't bend it to get up off the floor. Now

thats just sad. Let's say I do not volunteer to sit on the floor

anymore.

Here's to staying sane with an insane disease.

Thanks so much Tawny for replying, I go see the rheumy this Thursday

and i've made it my New Years resolution to take better care of myself.

I feel somewhat better knowing I have this site to speak to other about

it.

Thanks so much!
