Guest guest Posted February 25, 2008 Report Share Posted February 25, 2008 Hi my name is Marla and I am new here. I am 46 years young and was diagnosed with RA in January. The biggest pain is in my fingers. (please excuse typos). I am a brittle diabetic, so my rheumatologist says he does not have a lot to work with to help me. Right now he has me on high doses of salsalate and sulfazine. He cannot put me on any steroids as they will make my blood sugars soar. I use medical marijuana (which is legal here in california) for pain. I am sure there are other diabetics in the group who could suggest any other treatments. As you know this is very painful and debilitating. I am glad I found this group. Thanks Marla Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
