I'm a newlywed (married June 16th, 2007). No kids yet, but hopefully my symptoms can be gotten under control so I can at least carry one child. I work for Anheuser-Busch and sell beer. I love reading, movies, and music. I'm even learning to play the guitar to keep my fingers moving. I hope to concentrate on these things that keep me going as I learn more about my diagnosis especially since treatment has been slow since I'm allergic to NSAIDS.

I'm only 24 and I feel much older than that. I know I must live in the now and take each day for what it is worth, flare or not, but sometimes it is hard to look past the pain. I live in the St. Louis area and I'm hoping to meet others that want help each other stay positive. 11-04-08: They now say I either have RF negative RA or autoimmune inflammatory arthritis caused by Celiac Disease and they are both treated the same way.
I've been Gluten-Free for a 1 1/2 years. Before that I was sick since I was 14. I work for a beer company so the work atmosphere is difficult, but surprisingly I've learned to cope.
I just got tire all of a sudden one day and then the next day I woke up tired and my right arm was numb. After being in the hospital for four days, they told me that I have the autoimmune version of Hypothyroidism.
It all started one day when I woke up with my right arm numb. After a shot of B12 and four days in the hospital I regained the feeling in my arm.
My second miscarriage happened in November, but at least I have a reason now. I'm positive for MTFR and they way they explained it, I can't metabolize Folic Acid correctly so the embryo can implant into my uterus. I'm still mourning, and my husband and I are still trying to work through this, which is why I'm joining this community.
So far, I've experienced two miscarriages and I've been off the pill for over a year. Sometimes I wonder if with all of my issues if I'll ever become a mother. My infertility is caused by a lack of progesterone, MTHFR,and endometriosis.
For the longest time I just had exercise induced since I was a kid, but just recently I've been having some problems.
I'm not sure if this is what I have, but my OB/GYN and my therapist says it looks like MS and no one else is giving me answers. I see another neurologist tomorrow.
