Good luck Maggie!

Don't be bummed if you don't see any immediate results - it can take up to 3 months to see relief - but some see it after the first shot or 2 -

I wish you success!!!

Have a great day

I hope to have good success like you are after I get a couple of shots. There is a new one that I know of, but not yet approved by the FDA...it's another injection.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Well said!! I truly believe in taking the meds that prevent joint damage - not just meds that will hide the pain - I'm having a huge success on Humira lately - I haven't felt this good in a long time. I don't worry about my joints becoming permanently damaged, as I know I'm doing everything I can to prevent that. I think if I didn't, regardless if I do get joint damage in the future, which is inevitable with this disease, that at least I can say, I tried everything I could to prevent it for as long as possible.

I've already heard there are some new meds in the makings my doc has talked about - albeit another type of infusion - but at least they are working on something. So I'm keeping as optimistic as possible and hope that my decisions today will only help keep me healthier and more mobile until they do come out with better meds.
