Hi Joan...we're all in the same boat. This is a good place to talk about

what's going on and getting support. we'll all have to take the good with

the bad, the bad with the sad and the happy with the crappy.

I was dx'd with ra back in 1983 and have really tried quite a number of

meds. Like I mentioned, enbrel and prednisone works the best for me.. and I

hope it keeps working but I've been on it since 2005.

Don't give up.....maybe talk to your dr about trying something else. I

felt like you did many years ago and was just miserable. It's always trial

and error...and eventually something may work. There are so many newer

treatrments now. I feel blessed that I wasn't dx'd during my grandparents day

and before. During those times, it seemed like all you could do is suffer

with it and take pain meds. Now there are things that do work. Talk to

your rheumy...see what he can do to help you.

Don't give up....there is always hope.

I love the blog.

Take care...a
