      Diagnosed early February 07 with RA and put on Prednisone. Didn't work (?) until the dose was split to a.m. and p.m. Saw my Rheumy for the second time and he put me on Injectable Methotrexate weekly, and Plaquenil. Also taking anti depressant...this was a big thing to handle and I just couldn't accept it initially. Pain is less, still very tired and don't know if that will ever go away!

      Treatments

      Arava Working / Worked
      Too soon to tell
      Prednisone Working / Worked
      Since the dosage has been split to AM & PM seems to be working?
      Zoloft Working / Worked
      Still have my 'blue'days..but not game to give it up!
      Methotrexate Working / Worked
      Think it is working (?)
