    • Thanks

      From RissaJoy September 7

      Good to hear from you! Hope you're doing well. I'm feeling great- hence my little hiatus from here. I've got a year's worth of work to catch up on- literally. God's letting this Plaquanil work. Yay!

    • Celebration

      From SafeNSerene August 29

      Hi there, southern belle friend! I am feeling better now that I have started controlling my diabetes (that I didn't know I had, ha). Found out that eating particular foods makes my RA flare up, so I stick to a more 'common sense' diet'. Sure do miss 'my bread' tho, have celiac disease as well. Losing weight tho, that's a good thing! Thanks for the hug!

    • I’m With You

      From aharmony August 25

      Hello, thanks for thinking of me. I am still here, but enjoying my summer with the kids. I will be back on joining in soon.

    • Congrats

      From SafeNSerene July 23

      Thanks for the link to your blog. I enjoyed it, very much. I haven't tried methrotrax? yet, afraid to be sick because of it. I live in Florida too-north Fl, practically georgia, lol. Have only be dx'd for 3 months and am taking plaquenil. It has helped some, but certainly not enough, unfortunately.

    • Prayer

      From marycola July 2

      Hi! I am so sorry you had such a bad time yesterday. I still haven't read your thread, but if you didn't have swelling, does that mean she did not start you on a new med? How rediculous is that? Sounds like you need to find another new MD!!!! hugs and prayers, mary
