    • About Me

      Currently getting my Master's in Counseling; single mom, love music and dance; dx w/r.a. and fibromyalgia since 2006. It's a daily walk (or hobble....depending....) but see life thru the lens of a wicked comic and laugh as often as possible!

      WELCOME! I love this site, so many wonderful people and SO much information that you would have never known without communicating with others with this disease. Best thing is....you are NOT alone!!

      From lycesq August 1

      I'm glad to give you your first hug! Welcome to the RA group! We have people in all stages of RA who have tried any number of meds and have information and practical tips to share. Our only rule is that no question is a dump question. We encourage people, especially new ones to the site, to post their concerns and questions. We are always glad to help.

      I was diagnosed in 200l and have been through Remicade, Humera, Enbrel, Orencia and a ton of other meds. Luckily, I'm in remission now, but who knows

      Hi, dx w/ra and fibromyalgia since 2006 and would like to chat w/others who deal with similar issues.

      Treatments

      Humira Working / Worked
      My doc is changing me to Enbrel but my insurance won't cover it so I'm applying for assistance.
      Methotrexate Not Working
      Eeek! Allergic reaction!
      Prednisone Not Working
      Can't take this; makes me karaazy. Aaagh.
      Remicade Somewhat Helpful
      Took this for a while before I began having severe pain in my thigh bones after receiving i.v. plus it would wipe me out for a day or two afterward.
      Hydrocodone Working / Worked
      Yay for pain management when needed!
      Mobic Working / Worked
      Helps with inflammation
