About Me
I am married and have 3 sons, 10, 4 and 1. I am an artist and certified personal trainer although my paid work is all art right now. I LOVE music and going to concerts. My favorite bands are Social Distortion, Modest Mouse, Dave Matthews, and I could go on for the rest of my 500 characters.

How are you? Hope you are doing well.

Hi April. I hope you're well. Hugs, doug

April, thanks so much for the post! I miss you on DS! I too am so glad to have found LDN! It's weird to sound like we sell the stuff, right? Yes, it makes me feel better about having RA. Neprinol seems to really agree with me and I'm doing better and better. I'm so glad antibiotics are working well for you. From what I hear, it takes up to like 8 months maybe to be full blown? I'm not sure if that's right. Anyway, I hope things are going great and look forward to seeing you on DS. Hugs! Sarah

Hope the move is going well, good luck with getting the heat situation fixed! Take care.

Hey there, April. I've got Georgia and you on my mind. I hope things are under control and you;re feeling well. Hugs, D

Close Rheumatoid Arthritis
I was diagnosed, finally, at age 27. My middle son was then 1. It was challenging to take care of him then as it is now to take care of my youngest.
Treatments
- Enbrel Working / Worked
- It worked okay, but the side effects were tough. I was always sick and I bruised very easily and I was tired all the time. I no longer take it.
- Folic Acid Working / Worked
- Had to take it with the methotrexate.
- Methotrexate Considering
- Hard to tell if it helped because I felt like it was poisoning me. I no longer take it.
- Prednisone Working / Worked
- Took pain and swelling away but made me crazy! I refuse to ever take it again!!
Close Fitness Goals
Type: Be the best you can beI am certified to be a personal trainer. Never worked in the field though. I want to get my body into the shape I want it to be before I began to help others do the same with theirs. I also have RA so it can be challenging at times. I have 3 kids and before #3 was born I was in great shape and am ready to get back there.
Treatments
- Elliptical Trainer Too Soon to Tell
- Keeps my knees in place, but I don't really like it.
- Hiking Somewhat Helpful
- Love it because I live near lots of state parks.
- Running Working / Worked
- I LOVE to run, but the RA makes it difficult sometimes.
- Strength Training Working / Worked
- Mandatory for weight loss.
- Weight Training Working / Worked
- Definately
