About Me
I was diagnosed with Rheumatoid Arthritis April 2009 and Fibromyalgia May 2009. It seems like my world has turned up side down I want to be able to get on top of my disease and live as normal as possible. I had to drop out of school this semester and quit my job I have been in so much pain! I'm hoping that I will be able to go back to school in the fall but I think I will have to find a new major.

Hug
haven't heard from you in a while thought i'd send a hug! hope you are doing well!
UR Welcome
Your Welcome! I just had to point out that the doctors have no way of knowing which course the disease will take so they treat us all like course 3 - so they should... at least until they know differently. I think everyone will become stage 3 its just a matter of time until something really set the disease off. Then they are in the same boat as us!
Hang in there... your docs will find what works sooner or later. Let's hope its sooner!
Hug
I have been on Orencia since July and the jury is still out. The doc says it takes a full 6 months to see if it works, that will be in JAnuary. I am on the Orencia promise program, they pay the first 6 months for the drug, but you have to have insurance to be eligable. Each infusion costs approximately $4,000k so you need to call Orencia and your local hospital who would do it if they can help you with the cost. Good luck!hugs, marcia

Hug
I hope this week is a better week for you!
Prayer
Wasn't certain if I should send chicken soup, good luck, or a get well. Then decided a prayer is probably best hoping that it is the prednisone spiking your sugar levels.
