Guest guest Posted October 19, 2010 Report Share Posted October 19, 2010 Welcome to the group Carole! I too only had the positive anti-CCP, but also have erosions already on x-ray. Right now I am waiting to start Humira (it has been delayed for 4 weeks due to various infections and such!). I tried Arava for 2 months, but it did nothing. Unfortunately, everyone is different, and we all have to try different meds to see which works for us!! If you give it a try and it doesn't work, then your rheumy can try something else!! I hope the Plaquenil works for you and you find some relief!!! Donna (Colorado) > > I was just yesterday diagnosed with early RA. I have had 'palindromic' arthritis for 1 1/2 years but it is getting more frequent and hitting different joints. I have an anti-CCP of 117, but am sero-negative on my RF or Sed Rate. The rheumatologist is talking about putting me on Plaquinil to start. I'm kind of scared (my mom had severe RA) and not sure if this is the right med. I also have thyroid issues and am on a low dose of Cymbalta for mild depression. Any suggestions for me? > > Carole in FL > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
