Hi Nae

I am more a lurker here..dont often post.

You are right it is a small world.lol

I didnt realise that what you had done to your wrists is exactly?the same as I

had done to my left wrist.. Took the bone from my hip as well. Anyway that didnt

work so I had to have it done again?so the next??time they used bone from the

bone bank . My right wrist was just fused with pins.

Hello all, I've been lurking for a while to see if in fact I would fit in

here. Seems I will, hopefully. I'm 66, dxd w/RA at 16, symptoms at 13. Over

all these years I've had almost every med offered on the market, with great

success! I've just started on Enbrel after being on mtx, Predisone & folic

acid for almost 20 years. Before that was gold injections. I raised 5

children, almost alone, with this disease. So I know what a struggle it is.

Sometimes the pain is relentless but somehow we muddle through, right?

Thankfully, the worst deformity I have is my right hand & both wrists. Both

hands/arms have had at least 2 surgeries each with the wrists being removed,

bone from hip formed a past and reinforced w/plates and screws. So Imagine

operating w/o your wrists bending =) of course some of you probably already

have that. I apologize for not being too familiar with everyone, but I hope

to do so. I have noticed one friend already. It's good to see a familiar

face =) Thanks for having me & I'll try to stay as caught up as possible. If

there is ANYTHING I can say or do to help in supporting any way, I hope to

do so. We all need every ounce of information & support we can get. Renae

aka Nae TX
