Guest guest Posted October 12, 2005 Report Share Posted October 12, 2005 I've been out of town and haven't read posts for a few days until this evening. I'm really glad to know that tomorrow is Arthritis Day and will mention it to people. I'm also glad to know that others are concerned about taking meds to alleviate symptoms while leaving the causes untreated. i have had a hard week. i stopped my plaquinil, then cut back on pred. and sulfa drug only to have pain i hadn't experienced in many, many months. it's so upsetting. very emotional. not wanting to believe that the drugs are as helpful as they are - that I'm dependant on them to feel okay and function normally. also realizing that i stayed at a job i hated because of the money, and ended up with RA. i believe my personal unhappiness brought out the disease. i want this to go away!!! aren't there ANY success stories about there of folks who " beat it " ?
