New to the group

Hello everyone, my name is Karla and I was diagnosed with RA in

February. I am 38 (going on 39) and I am happly married and have a

beautiful 10 month old daughter. I am currently taking Sulfalazine,

Enbrel and will be starting Palquenil. Here is my question to the

group, how have you dealt with the depression? I unfortunatly lost my

job (due to work force reduction) the day after my diagnosis. So, I

have been trying to deal with the diagnosis of RA, the depressing fact

that I had to stop breastfeeding my daughter to start my meds, the loss

of a job I had for 13 years, and the fact that Michigan does have any

jobs for me. Any uplifting words would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

for your time.
