Guest guest Posted August 25, 2006 Report Share Posted August 25, 2006 Hi everyone, I joined this list today and have been reading through some of the msg archives. I'm grateful that this list exists and is as active as it is! I am paraplegic with RA, dx in 2000 44 yrs Young. I had my spinal cord injury in 1986. Right now I'm on MTX 15mg per wk and Celebrex twice a day. I'm bottoming out on MTX, this spring and summer have really caused havoc on my RA. Plus I broke my L femur in May. My RA mainly affects my hands, wrists and elbows. Pretty much everything that I can move and use is affected. I'm going to talk to my DR about Enbrel next month. I have had shots in several joints (cortisone gotta love it!), but think I need something more to lessen the flare-ups. I work from home as a jewelry/polymer clay artist. The RA has caused big problems with my productivity but I'm working around that. My partner is wonderful, she's a massage therapist and helps out tremendously. We're training a GSD puppy (16mos) as a service dog for me. He's my pal. He has a page on dogster if you want to see him! http://www.dogster.com/pet_page.php?j=t & i=268091 Peace, River Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
