  Hi everyone!  I have avoided joining this group for a long time because I thought it would be depressing.  lol  Ironic, huh?  Sometimes, I can make light of my depression.  I've battled it my entire life.  The scary part is, I have seriously contemplated suicide three times: once at around 15, once at around 23 and once at around 62.  Yep, I'm an oldie but goody!  I have never gone to a shrink about it because I tend to to snap out of it every time on my own, eventually.  I really do...

  I'm wondering if any of you who are on Enbrel (or any other such biological) exerience chills on an ongoing basis.  My hunch is that it is the Enbrel causing them.  I recently did have a urinalysis because my doc said that, sometimes, older women can get UTIs without knowing it.  My UA results were negative, so I know it isn't that.

  Thanks to journeythru, Marlene J, linzsey, Katie, and WarriorGal for your responses to my post on episcleritis.  Your experiences and insight are very helpful to me, too.  Great discussion!  On one other new thing, today, I received my results from an upper GI scope and colonoscopy I had two weeks ago (my first).  I have been having non-stop diarrhea and cramping for almost a year now.  Come to find out, I have microscopic colitis, which would cause those symptoms, and which can be...

  Not sure if anyone is still here from a year ago, when I last posted.  I've been in transition.  In any event, I experienced something new, after having RA for 48 years.  About a month and a half ago, I woke up with pain in my right eye.  It was a dull aching pain, kind of like something you would get if you had the flu.  Then a few days later, my entire eye was bloodshot.  I went to see an ophthalmologist, who told me I had a subconjunctive hemmorhage, not to worry about it, and that it...
