New...but not to the symptoms...have questions

[Guest guest]

It's taken 12 years to get a diagnosis of RA, but it's been such a long road. 

I've had severe fatigue, joint/body pain since this started, and have just been

ignored.  I have Scleritis and came close to losing my right eye, and last week

they said that I have Goiter.  What's next?  .  I was told about the RA back in

2002, and given the option of taking Methotrextate (sorry if I've spelled that

wrong), but after reading the side effects, I thought that this doctor was

medicine happy. 

 

Are most of you on the metro?  does it work?  have you found other opstions

besides this medication?  Any overall advice?  When I get up every day it's a

difficult struggle to get myself going, I'm now at work, and I only want to be

in bed.  It's sooooo hard.  Did you feel better once you started taking it?  I

can't remember what feeling good is like....I've forgotten.  I'm 50, but I feel

like I'm just dying day by day.

 

Thanks for listening!
