Guest guest Posted December 13, 2006 Report Share Posted December 13, 2006 Hello, I am still trying to get a handle on all this. So here is where I get confused. Does pain and inflamation in joints mean that joint damage is taking place or can the damage be stoped by meds but the pain persist? I am taking remicade, methotrexate, folic acid, and prednisone. Should my sed rate and other markers for inflamation return to normal if they are working? My rheumatologist continues to bring up the possibility of lupus. What determines if it is lupus or RA and why would it take years to determine or " show itself " as my doc says? These may seem like silly questions, but I just can't seem to fit this all together. Thanks in St. Louis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
