    • Close Rheumatoid Arthritis

      I was diagnosed with RA in August 2005. Since then I'm gained 70 pounds and have struggled to get it off. It's hard living with this disease.

      Treatments

      Humira Not Working
      I had constant upper respiratory infections while on this medicine. Doctor took me off it. It did help with the fatigue and stiffness.
      Methotrexate Working / Worked
      This has seemed to help. I don't feel any negative side effects from it.
      Orencia Too Soon to Tell
      I started the Orencia in April 2007 and then moved to California. Insurance wouldn't approve it so I didn't get back on it until March 2008. I have had one bout of pneumonia from it and sinus infections. I missed my July and August infusions. I just had my September infusion and am hoping it works.
      Prednisone Working / Worked
      This really helps with my stiffness, however now I have some bone loss. My doctor is now weaning me off of it and I definitely notice an increase in stiffness and pain.
    • Close Sexual Abuse

      I am a survivor of mother-daughter incest. I've been through a lot of therapy dealing with it and hope to share with others and continue my recovery.

      Treatments

      Group Therapy Working / Worked
      This is where I remembered the abuse. It was the start of a very long healing process.
      Talking Working / Worked
      Many, many years of therapy. It worked as I had some great therapists
      \"The Courage To Heal\" Working / Worked
      Great book. I also created my own newsletter for a time because I needed to find other who had female perpetrators.
