    • About Me

      I am 61 a retired grandmother and have had RA for about 7 yers now, with a few small flares. Now that I am getting older, it is affecting my wrists. Took only Napoxen in the past for a bad knee and cortisone shots. Knee started up again after a two year period of no pain, no problems! Getting old is awful! I had Chronic Fatigue Syndrome in 1988, then diagnosed with Lyme Disease in 1995. I could not return to work after that, as my energy level was so diminished. But I bounced back and was feeling pretty good, until this lastest flair of my RA. I think my Lyme Disease influenced my getting RA. I have two married sons and my youngest son is a Chiropractor so we are into holistic healing.

      Ra for 7 years. A few flairs, but always got better. Recent flair is more serious. Doctor gave me Plaquenel to try and I am afraid to take it. I need moral suppport.

      Treatments

      Relafen Not Working
      Made me depressed! Made my knee worse
      Voltaren Working / Worked
      Made me feel better for two days - no pains. Then I increased the dose and I had pains all over my body. Stopped it. But maybe I should have just went back to the original dosage of 100 mgs a day.
