Guest guest Posted March 22, 2011 Report Share Posted March 22, 2011 Hi everyone, I am a 36yo mother of ds(9) and dd(5). I am currently waiting on test results to confirm RA. My doc suspects this is the case. I have had pain, swelling in wrists and elbows since mid-Jan. I have had elevated CRP and ESR but tested negative for Rh factor. Upon physical exam, doc found swelling in knuckle joints in both hands, feet as well as a nodule on my elbow. Currently I am on Celebrex which I find wears off after a few hours...although it seems to have helped with morning stiffness. My family is concerned about the DMARDS....big time! My GP told me that upon confirmation I will be on methotrexate and Plaquenil. Can anyone help ease my families fears about these meds? Thank you, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
