- I'm curious to know if anyone here is on disability and is Seronegative? Was it more difficult for you to get SSDI because you are seronegative?
- It's no secret that I've been really depressed recently. Everyone sees it. Professional and personal relationships are suffering. My quality of life is down to nothing. I'm now months into what seems to be a never-ending pity party.I know that...
- Does anyone here have a Handicapped sticker/plate that allows them to park in handicapped spaces to reduce the amount of walking?Has it helped/made a difference?At what point did you apply for one?
- Does this sound like an RA related pain?...When my hands/wrists hurt really bad (like today) my knuckles and wrists feel like (I'm going to try to describe this as best as possible) they are "out of socket" kind of like they're dislocated.It's the...
- Does anyone else have back pain, specifically in the lower back/back end area?Everyone I talk to says that RA does NOT affect the back and does NOT cause lower back pain, but I swear, when I flair, my back hurts SOOO bad! I don't know if it's...
- Ok, so I have been waiting for weeks to see if I got approved for Humira or not and I finally get a call saying my Rx is ready to set up direct shipment...I go through the whole process and hear this "Simponi" word, thinking it's the generic drug...
- Needing some clarification and/or support....I have previously been diagnosed w/Depression/Anxiety before my RA Dx (Diagnosis). At that time, I was being told I have Fibromyalgia and the depression was making my pain worse... I tried...
- Well, it has been over 2 years and I've had every "unofficial" diagnosis from Fibromyalgia to Osteoarthritis and everything in between, but today I finally got my Seronegative RA diagnosis.I feel so relieved and I know that sounds weird, but I'm...
- So, I have a 2 month follow-up appt. w/the Rheumy tomorrow. This is a little over 2 months since starting MTX. I have been having some worsening side effects but I'm not sure if they're really side effects from MTX or not.Been having a lot of nausea...
- UGH!I HATE insurance!!!!! It is so difficult to get what you need done! I literally JUST started seeing my new Rheumy in August after having to switch from my old Rheumy because our insurance plan changed at work and the new plan wouldn't cover the...
- I have been on another round of Pred for about 6 days now. The last time I took a round of Pred was in late fall and I ended up with a cold/sinus infection a week into it.I have been having severe GI issues since yesterday. Now, I also have IBS so I...
- I have NEVER done this before, so I am VERY excited!!I booked a 2 ours reservation at a local spa for my mother and I to go out and get pampered for her birthday!!! We will be enjoying a 50min Hot Stone Pedicure, a 55min Hot stone Manicure and a...
- Anyone on here young (under 30) and on disability?I'm curious as to what you had to go through to get approved and how this affects your future.I am soooo worried about my future employment if things progressively get worse from here. My husband and...
- So, I just took a nice little spill on some black ice in the parking lot of a grocery store today. I didn't actually hit the ground, but I did a nice little split that I have never done before in my life!While I was helplessly hanging on the rail of...
- Is this what RA is like!?!?!?Monday & Tuesday were really bad days for my hips and knees. Very painful and I had to use my cane around the house. (27 and I have a CANE?!?!?! ARE YOU KIDDING ME!?!?!?) :(Went to bed last night with hip & knee pain.......
