      Diagnosed with RA 2008,had to wrap my mind around it all. On Meds. & Vit. now and very thankful...could be much worse.

      Treatments

      Folic Acid Working / Worked
      Take Folic Acid to prevent side effect from Methotrexate. So far working fine.
      Methotrexate Working / Worked
      Dr. just increased from 6 to 8 due to a flare up in my big toe joint.
      Plaquenil Not Working
      This is what I tried first and I am allergic...broke out in hives.
      Prednisone Somewhat Helpful
      It does work but I refuse to take it very often...don't want to gain to much weight.
