Close Rheumatoid Arthritis
In 1998, I got pneumonia from a legionnaire�s virus and later I developed Scleritis, which is caused by an immune system problem. Joint, body pain is my daily struggle, and easily become vesy sick. I am so fatigued. When I wake up it feels like I hadn�t slept in years, and was run over by several trucks during the night.New doctor sent me this week for a sonogram of my thyroids and determined Hashimoto's. Diagnosed with RA on March 29, 2009
Treatments
- Folic Acid Working / Worked
- Methotrexate Working / Worked
- Began to help about 3 months after starting it.
- Tylenol Somewhat Helpful
Open Depression
Treatments
- Positive Thinking Working / Worked
- Just part of my nature and I know that for some it's a very difficult thing to do.
- Prozac Working / Worked
- 12 years on it...it helps a lot.
