Guest guest Posted January 25, 2008 Report Share Posted January 25, 2008 Hi , hope you are feeling better today. My name is . I also have had Rheumatoid for about two years (diagnosed just over a year ago). I am having a hard time dealing with also. However I am now on medications that do handle the pain quite considerably compared to how I was feeling just a few months ago. It takes quite some time I have found for the Doctor's to get you onto the right medication. Are you seeing a specialist? And what are you currently taking? I take Plaquenil, Enbrel and Methotroxide (spelling? oh well). I was on prednisone which helps but has way too many long term effects. They really messed me up! Anyway I am here and can chat!

My theory is I would rather laugh about it than cry about it. I love animals and I have lots of pets. I love doing crafts and watching crime shows. I hope to hear from some of you. P.S. I'm looking for a long term friendship-not just for a day or to. :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
