About Me
Well besides my horrible horrible RA life is good, or i should say life would be good if i didn't have this disease. I was SO happy go lucky and still am on good days but even my smiley face is becoming a frown everyday and it's not like me. Things that keep me going even through the horrible pain and swelling...or better yet the only reason i haven't killed myself yet: The smiles on my kids faces Watching my kids at the skatepark Watching my Austen enter skate competions and learn new tricks. Watching my Gibby dance like Channing Tatum in Step Up. Watching the boys win wrestling matches, going to EVERY wrestling competition and game, knowing he's an A and B student and my little athlete... Watching Austen; my active one; do wheelies on my 250 and watching him jump ramps on his bmx bike, or his dirt bike. My Gibby massaging me everyday and making me sandwhiches and doing all sorts of little things to cheer me up. Watching my little cutie pie Nathan talk better and better ever day thanks to his speech therapist. My kids have made me keep going this far, they really are my angels that keep me sane.

Hug
I have found that the best thing I can do when I feel awful is to be sure I've got my make-up on, a nice outfit, and a smile on my face. It doesn't make my knees hurt less, but I feel better about myself. Then when I come home from work or wherever I had to go, I just relax. Take care and hang in there!
Hug
HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!!!

I know it's difficult, but I hope you know you have people who care about you, and will be there for you, no matter what.

I'm sorry you're struggling so much with your knees. My knees flare up and it makes everything so hard. When it flares up I walk like someone in their 80's. It would seem like the doctor could do something to give you some relief. Have you ever tried pool therapy in an arthritis pool. I have done that and it has helped me a bit. Take care and I hope it starts to get better soon!

Get Well Soon!
Keep thinking about how much better your knees will feel AFTER they get drained (see the other side, and the actual draining won't be so bad). Get better soon, B

Support Groups
Close Rheumatoid Arthritis
I have severe Rheumatoid arthritis and hate it. I've had it since I was about 17 yrs old. I couldn't work because of it...I take Humira now after year of trying different things and being poked
Treatments
- Celebrex Not Working
- This did nothing for me
- Folic Acid Working / Worked
- This is always helpful when taking MTX
- Humira Working / Worked
- Works AMAZING! Couldn't be happier
- Methotrexate Somewhat Helpful
- You can't drink when you take this or do anything, but for the best effect take with prednisone...this still didn't completely help me, i needed something stronger (Humira)
- Prednisone Somewhat Helpful
- This helped me alot, but did nothing without MTX and both didn't take away all or most of my swelling but mine is severe
Close Child Support & Custody
My soon to be ex husband is causing all sorts of drama over getting the kids 50/50 but he is very abusive both physically and mentally i'm fighting this in court..he also gives us no money since he left us.
