HI MY NAME IS DEBBIE I READ YOU GUYS POSTS ALOT AND ALWAYS THOUGHT ID LIKE TO

BE ABLE TO HAVE SOMEONE TO TALK TO ALSO...ALTHOUGH I WAS ONLY DIAGNOSED WITH RA

IN FEB OF 08 I KNOW IVE HAD IT MUCH LONGER(BLOOD TESTS WHERE OFF THE WALL) THE

FIRST TIME I WENT TO AN RA DOC HE TOLD ME I WAS FAT DEPRESSED HAD FIBRO AND

NEEDED TO GO TO SEE JENNY CRAIG...I WAS DEVASTED HOW COULD A PERSON BE SO CRUEL

I CRIED AND SUFFERED FOR YEARS..FINALLY AFTER A YEAR OF BEING BEDRIDDEN..I

COULDNT EVEN LIFT MY LEGS TO GET IN THE SHOWER, (walked when i could with a

walker) ITS PROBALY 3-4 INS OF GROUND.. AND TAKING PREDISONE once a month FOR A

VERY LONG TIME I HAD TO BREAK DOWN AND GO BACK TO SAME GUY...(lack of ra doctors

here)HE REALIZED HOW BAD I DID HAVE IT AND HOW DISABLED ID BECOME NOW IM ON

HUMIRA AND METHOTREXATE THE SWELLING IS AT BAY BUT OMG DOES THE PAIN EVER EASE

UP? I CRY EVERY NIGHT ITS JUST NOT IN JOINTS BUT MY LEGS ACHE ALL OVER(CALFS

AND TOP LEGS EXSPECIALLY) I ALSO GET HUGE BRUISES I DONT KNOW HOW I GOT? IM ON

VICODIN A STRONG FORM BUT IT DOESNT ALWAYS HELP..DOES ANYONE ELSE GET THESE

TERRIBLE PAINS IN ANY OTHER PARTS OF THEIR BODIES BESIDES THE JOINTS? HOW ABOUT

BRUSISES? I KNOW LOSING WEIGHT WILL HELP BELEIVE ME I TRIED BUT HOW DO YOU LOSE

WEIGHT WHEN JUST WALKING KILLS YOU? MY DOC IS TALL AND SKINNY IM SURE NEVER HAD
