    • Close Rheumatoid Arthritis

      I have had RA for over 20 years. I need some support with this chronic disease.

      Treatments

      Azathioprine Working / Worked
      I have been on this for 13 years. Because it doesn't work specifically on symptoms, it is hard to tell if it is helping or not.
      Celebrex Somewhat Helpful
      Folic Acid Working / Worked
      Methotrexate Not Working
      Orencia Not Working
      Plaquenil Not Working
      Prednisone Working / Worked
      Heve been on prednisone off and on for years. there are some pretty awful side effects including mood swings, hot flashes and weight gain ( I gained 30 lbs in 3 mo.) It is dose related(less pred, less side effect) So, it is wise to take the least amount possible. It is a great anti imflamatory.
      Relafen Working / Worked
      Remicade Working / Worked
      It worked for 7 years rreally well, until I developed antiboties to it.
      Voltaren Somewhat Helpful
