    • Close Rheumatoid Arthritis

      Diagnosed 1/08, both RF and anti-CCP strongly positive. Symptoms began in 2007 with joint pain in hands. At initial visit with rheumatologist, clinical symptoms were atypical but that changed rapidly within 4 weeks. Fatigue has worsened and pain and swelling in my wrists, elbows, shoulders, feet, ankles, and knees has begun. Started MTX immediately and still waiting for full effect. Tried to avoid prednisone but recently added it to get some relief. I am still hopeful!

      Treatments

      Folic Acid Working / Worked

      Helps with my stress levels which in turn helps with the pain level
