I was planning on moving last fall but it didn't work for as her parents

are getting older and new more (and more) assistance. I am going to Pandora is

weekend, does that count?

Isn't Seattle a bad climate for RA?  Is there any way you could move?

take a nap when I wake up, and joints that allow me to carry an empty egg carton

wherever I want. Thanks medical profession! I'd ask for even more help but I'm

afraid of being PERMANENTLY HOSPITALIZED!!!

Well actually, she said treatments are so effective there is no need for support

groups. In the six to eight months I saw her (she came very highly recommended I

now know she did very little to treatment. I got a low dose of MTX , some folic

acid, and stayed on the pain medication my GP prescribed. She did contact my GP

to inform him I didn't want to cooperate with treatment (which was absolutely

absurd). She also miss prescribed a different medication when I finally got her

to do something. I think really, she had no interest in me because at the time I

had a basic health plan from the state and had to pay a lot out of pocket. I

have no fond memories of her methods.

have RA.  Does anyone know how I would get this started.  I think I need

others to talk to besides online about RA and connect with others face to face

maybe once a month.  I would appreciate any ideas.
