Guest guest Posted March 4, 2009 Report Share Posted March 4, 2009 Hi everyone. My name is and I've recently been diagnosed with RA. I had Grave's Disease for 3 years and finally opted to have my thyroid removed almost 1 year ago. I was feeling great and then my legs started to hurt - actually they hurt before but we attributed it to the thyroid disease (also an autoimmune disease). I'm totally heartbroken that I fixed one thing and then got another. I'm 46 years old (tomorrow) and feel like 110. I started Methotrexate this past Saturday (4 pills once a week), I'm taking a 1 mg. folic acid pill every day and I'm starting on Humira within the next 2 weeks (I'm going for my TB test tonight). So that's my story. I would love to hear from anyone who wishes to share their story(s) with me. I need all the support I can get (my husband is very supportive but just doesn't get it). I would also love to hear from others who also take Humira and get your experience taking it. Does it make you feel better? Any side effects, etc???? Thanks everyone. I hope to get to know most (if not all) of you and hopefully when I have more experience I can help by sharing my experiences with others. Have a great day.
