Re:time frame advice needed

[Guest guest]

Hi

Just to affirm Shirley's wisdom in her reply to you - hang in there as the

mtx will need a little longer to 'kick in'. It does indeed sound as though

you have a good rheumatologist who is taking your RA seriously. What Shirley

said about depression being common is also true. I would think you have

especial reason to feel down as RA is interfering with your ability to play

the violin.

Hoping you'll start to feel better soon,

Thank you for all of the advice - I saw my regular Dr. yesterday and she is

putting me on Cymbalta - it will help with the depression and maybe take the

pain down a notch. As for playing viola - I just got to " move it or lose it "

no matter what. Thanks again.
