- Hello all. Sorry I've been such a stranger, but, you see I had a heart attack. I'm 40. And a woman.So.A lot of people have asked me if I think it's related to RA. I say, who knows, but I think it might be a factor. We talk about...
- I do not mean that in a snarky, or sarcastic, way. I could look up the stone-cold side effects, but I'd like to know what you guys know, or have heard. I guess biologics are in my near future, so I'd like to be well-informed.
- So, I gotta say this just frustrates the s$&@ out of me. This is what we already know, and I hate to beat the deceased equine...I caved in and went to an urgent care. I tried a walker boot on last night and it was heaven sent relief. I realized I...
- Okay, I gotta vent a little myself.Quick background. I went to my rheumy a few weeks ago. He said it's time to see a podiatrist for my metatarsalgia. Saw a podiatrist a couple weeks ago. He says I have capsulitis/synovitis of my right 2nd toe. ...
- How useful do you think the squeeze across the MCP/MTP joint assessment is for synovitis, pain, disease status, etc.? Point blank, I'm frustrated with it. Almost every time I complain of joint pain my rheumy does this maneuver. Sometimes it...
- Hey all. Sorry it has been so long. Missed you all, and thought about you every day.How to shorten this story... May last year my rheumy said "Wellll... You might have mild RA. But you won't have any damage." Mild RA... I'm seronegative and have...
- So Sally's post, and Alto's poem response, got me thinking. Actually obsessing a little. But it was so much fun and so... Peaceful... I thought maybe someone else might appreciate it. It's a little off the wall, but, so am I.The imagery of Alto's...
- Say thank you to Alto for this one...http://hyperboleandahalf.blogspot.com/2010/02/boyfriend-doesnt-have-ebola-probably.html
- It might be better for me to wait to start this topic. I have been so exhausted lately I can't tell if I am making sense in emails, etc. But this topic has come up quite a bit recently so I'd like to try to help.By no means am I judging anyone. ...
- Okay, bearing in mind this is merely an observation, not scientific, and that RA is a multi factor disease, and my daily life has a million other variables... and this may have been spontaneous any way... This is an observation to hopefully help...
- So, as I am learning to live with RA, this is in the theme of "Is this normal" or "An expected part of RA?" For the most part, things are going well. I am seronegative, so I have nothing to measure other than pain. Most days, I am well. Just...
- Hey all. I responded to a topic, and then I realized this might be a good separate topic so more people can see it.I have had frequent canker sores since I was 4, some so bad they affected my entire mouth. As you can imagine, I have tried just...
- Hi all. I just wanted to put this out there, since some people search for med input.A month ago I added methotrexate (15 mg/week) to my daily mix of prednisone (7.5 mg), plaquenil (400 mg), naproxen (880 mg), and ultram. I had been on the...
- The fatigue of this disease is really killing me lately. I sleep A LOT, and I rarely am awake (very well) for more than 12 hours.Does anyone have anything at all that helps, even a little?Thanks, you guys.
- Hello all. I hope you guys are all doing well... or at least, not worse.Glad to see this support group is still going strong, even without me.Just kidding.I'd like to come to this SG every day, I just find I'm better off, well, not thinking too...
