Guest guest Posted February 17, 2008 Report Share Posted February 17, 2008 Hi Everyone, I am new to this group & am looking forward to participating. I was diagnosed about 6 months ago. I am 37. Prior to that, I think I had RA about 6-7 years ago (pain in hands & feet, but nothing that stopped me from doing anything). I was going to go see a Rheumatologist, but I got pregnant w/ my daughter & the pain went away, until about a year or 2 after I had my son. I am currently on Methotrexate, 6 pills once/week. They were great (all the pain & swelling was gone) until about 1 1/2 months ago. The pain & swelling in my hand has come back. I live in So Cal. Has anyone else here noticed that because of the weather? I go to the Dr next week, so we'll see if he increases my dose or what. Also, do any of you use anything topical for the pain & swelling? Thanks, Tricia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
