i am a 38 year old female who was diagnosed with ra two years ago. it

came on suddenly in my knees and muscles. i began to have pain in my

feet and then wrists. it eventually led to the loss of my job,

although, due to the fact i worked for a physician he was sympathetic

but i was just missing way too much work. i have been on methotrexate

from the onset and have gone through plaquenil and sulfazine. my

insurance wouldn't cover enbrel or orencia. i also had my

rheumatologist relocate to a different state. the one i saw for the

first time two weeks ago was only concerned with my pain medication, so

now i am traveling 2 hours to continue to see my original doc.i also

have fibromyalgia and severe depression. i am hoping to find others in

my shape with hope possibly and understanding of what i face on a daily

basis.
