RA

Well,it has been a long time since my last entry. I mainly keep a Journal by my Bed. I have been diagnosed with Rheumatoid Arthritis in Dec '08. It has been a rollercoaster ever since. Not knowing much about this disease, I researched it long and hard. I guess it's here to stay. I have been to my RD 3 weeks ago and she gave me Celebrex, Prednisone and Skelaxine. I am going back today for an MRI and maybe Methotraxate. I am a little scared to start on the hard drugs,but also understand that if I don't start on something I may not get better. I just wish the hurting would stop and not move around so much. I never know where I', hurting when I get up. It has been a good last 2 weeks with no pain, but then this morning I get up and can't move my arm up and my neck is real stiff, which I'm going to tell her about today. Most days are pretty good though and that's what I'm thankful for. I also appreciate everybody here on the RA thread. I could not do it without all the people's support. Thanks to all of you!
