But not new to RA. Actually I have been lurking for a little while and decided I should join in.
I was dxed with RA April 2012.... have been on mtx since that time and started Humira in May 2013.
Looking forward to meeting you all and jumping in on topics that I can add something too. :)

Welcome and Peace

Hello Hily and Cindy. I'm fairly new on this chat group too. But I'm a veteran at RA. DX in 2002.

BTW Hily, just call me and my mother ( a 25 year veteran) the queens of alternative treatments. My mother has advanced RA that's been in remission for 21 years on minocin. I have severe RA, controlled primarily through paleodiet.
