    • Close Scoliosis

      Well, I grew up in pain for various reasons. Basically, I have RA. Last year, i developed Fibro as well. I was thrown from a horse recently and they found the S curve in my back....

    • Close Rheumatoid Arthritis

      I was diagnosed in 2005 after being thrown from a horse and landing on my face. Evidently, it is something that has been going on since I was 15. I am now 29....

      Treatments

      Celebrex Somewhat Helpful
      I only take it when needed. Taking it daily seemed to not work for me.
      Enbrel Somewhat Helpful
      Keeping me from calcification.
      Methotrexate Not Working
      This made me feel like i had the flu 24/7. I dont call that working.
      Plaquenil Somewhat Helpful
      It helped, but I had BAD diarrhea to the point that i was going if I even thought about food.
      Prednisone Not Working
      I had an adverse reaction....it made me swell around the joints.
      Tylenol Working / Worked
      Works sometimes. But, i have to take 3 to do any good.
      Massage Working / Worked
      Works great if you can afford it!
