Guest guest Posted February 25, 2005 Report Share Posted February 25, 2005 Thanks to those of you who responded to my message. I just wanted to ensure I was doing the right thing before I poured my heart out to you all!! I am 30 years old and was diagnosed with RA 2.5 years ago. I have quite aggressive RA and have been on Methotrexate (MTX) for 2 years. I am also on Prednisolone and Celebrex. I started on Remicade about 10 months ago also, which has helped in some ways. I still have terrible flares (like now) and find life with RA very challenging indeed! I also have Fibromyalgia (FM) as a secondary symptom to RA. I am really interested in pregnancy and RA as I plan to start a family in the next year or so. I am also interested in pain management as I dont find much that helps me. I do meditate and try to eat foods that dont cause inflammation, but really it is hard to know what works and what doesnt. With this illness, there is so little certainty about it that I feel like I cant tell what is good for me and what isnt. I am glad to have joined your group and I hope that I can be of support to some of you through this challenging journey we live with our RA and associated problems.
