- I just received my reminder card for my routine colonoscopy. How on earth will I get through that? It will be my third one- just routine. Of course I will discuss it with my rheumy next week and with the performing doc. But how will I manage to sit...

- Tonight that's how I feel. Seems I feel like this one or two days per week. Ultimate, deep core fatigue. Snoozing all day. Pain is not the issue. It has happened enough that I know I will be better tomorrow - most likely. Anyone else? Any...
- I won my appeal in July 2015 for SSDI. This is what I learned:1. GET A GOOD LAWYER. Worth every penny. The max he/she will earn is 25% of back SSDI, but no more than $6000. Set by law. Get the lawyer on board at the time of application so he can...
- Stormy, rainy days now and I feel great! I've accomplished much today- tasks that I'd never have the energy to do singly on a nice day. I mentioned this to my rheumy and she thought it odd. Hey- I'll take it! Please tell me there are others like me!
- Hi folks! I'm seroneg RA, on plaquenil, Mobic, Enbrel, ginger, turmeric. I WAS also on mtx but after 3 asthmatic bronchitis, multiple UTIs and vaginal infections all within 6 months, my rheumy stopped the mtx. So it's "just" Enbrel, Mobic,...
- I've just started the process to apply for social security disability. I'm working with a lawyer to do this. Share with me your process: did you use a lawyer, how long did it take and what are the hearings to appeal like? And how may people were...
- My friend is planning to go to Africa for a two week mission trip. She's been told that she is to go off of her methotrexate and Embrel. Last trip she did this, she flared for two months after returning. Doc says that on these meds, her immune...
- Now I am not an accountant, but in preparing my taxes I take advantage of these medical deductions allowed. Yes we do have insurance but after paying our copays, I still shelled out over $1800 last yrs for my meds. Hubby was $500. We use CVS and...
- I've been feeling pretty good. I went for my 6 month dental clean and exam. It was an excellent visit (I work hard on taking care of my teeth). Hygienist and the dentist were greatly impressed. So why am I so tired? Anyone else experience this?
- I'm going down this lovely (not) RA path. I am also church pianist/organist. I enjoy playing ragtime too. My fingers hurt. I've been wearing the fingerless compression gloves which help, but certain pieces have arpeggios etc that I just can't manage...
- I have suffered from migraines for many years. I finally determined that they were caused by work stress, weather and tyramine sensitivity (foods like nuts, cheeses, lunch meats etc). Now, the interesting thing I've noticed since I started mtx is...
- Due to Obamacare, many doctors have "retired" from healthcare. I lost my primary care doc. Have you lost a doc?
- I am post Lyme seronegative RA. Rheumy put me on mobic and placquenil for the terrible pain in the fingers of both hands plus both feet. Took an agonizing 6 weeks to work but I was feeling better. Then, as most of you have experienced, I started...
- Hi. New to group- I'm seronegative RA on Mobic, placquenil. I took my first dose of methotrexate (4-2.5 mg pills) and felt better! So the next week -like a good girl- I took the 5 pills. Great. Tired for two days, but that's ok. Now I wonder if...
