Close Rheumatoid Arthritis
I've dealt with RA for the last 15 years. Recently it became so out of control that I had to quit my job and apply for disability. My world is very small and pain is still the main focus.
Treatments
- Folic Acid Somewhat Helpful
- Taken for nausa. Works O.K. ,still suffer somewhat.
- Methotrexate Somewhat Helpful
- It keeps me from being in a continual flare, but do not eliminate the pain or fatigue.
- Orencia Too Soon to Tell
- Just started and am hopeful.
- Prednisone Working / Worked
- Yes, prednisone works. It's just the nasty side effects, the weight gain, the anemia, the jitters. Maintain on a low dose, move up with flares.
- Swimming Working / Worked
- I swim 6 days a week at the local YMCA. It is the reason I can still walk. Very beneficial. Also helps with pain levels.
