Guest guest Posted December 7, 2009 Report Share Posted December 7, 2009 Hello all. My name is vicky I am 24 and I was recently diagnosed with RA and it has scared be to death because it was found by a positive ANA and my aunt died recently of complications from lupus and RA. I have swelling and severe pain and stiffness in my hands and knees, I also have problems with my neck which they say may be degenerative disc disease. I am currently on 10mg of methotrexate, 200mg of plaquel, Tapering down on prednisone down to 5mg thank goodness and 75mg of diclofenac twice a day! I am feeling about 40 percent better. Am I ever going to feel normal again? Am I ever going to be able to not take all these meds? Please someone who has been in my shoes help!
