Guest guest Posted October 4, 1999 Report Share Posted October 4, 1999 Hi all, my name is Ana, and I have been diagnosed with RA this past April. Have been taking drugs prescribed to me by my internist (celebrex - to which I'm allergic, arthrotec, and now Vioxx. It seems they all work for a short period of time, then I have to switch to something else. Have an appointment on the 20th of this month to see a doctor that was recommended in my area, that treats patients with rheumatoid problems, with AP. Will ask to be placed on this therapy - will keep you posted. My question to all out there is: does anybody know if there is a link between having had rheumatic fever as a child, and then developing RA as an adult? Thanks.
