Guest guest Posted August 18, 2010 Report Share Posted August 18, 2010 Hello, I am so pleased to have found this group. I was diagnosed with RA in 2007 after being on Arimidex (breast cancer drug) for six months. My rheumatologist says that this drug tends to cause the onset of RA in people with a tendency towards it. I wish I had know this in advance as I never would have taken this drug. I also have osteoarthritis in my feet which has made walking very painful. Right now my RA is kept under pretty good control with plaquenil and with tramadol and celebrex for pain relief. I spend my time being a homemaker, mother to a wonderful 10 year old DD. I hope to return to teaching part time this year. Unfortunately, my husband is one of those irritating people. He doesn't get it and keeps asking when I will be cured. No amount of explaining seems to get through to him. Maybe it's just wishful thinking on his part. Pam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
