- It's a frustrating Monday morning. I'm not the only one that carry's resentment with them I'm sure.I'm 50 years old and in the throws on menopause. And of course RA hits right in the middle of it. Before RA We were lucky enough to be intimate at...
- I started MTX 3 weeks ago. I took 3 pills yesterday morning and for the first time no side effects the day after. Although, last night I was so sleepy. I did wake up with new ankle pain and shoulder but for the first time in months I didn't wake up...
- I've only told a couple of people I have RA. Their response is always, "I'm so sorry." I never knew it was known to be such a serious disease as to require those words. Just a musing.Also, while taking a shower this morning I started thinking. Yes,...
- Hi y'all!!!Open enrollment has begun. Right now I have an HMO (most of my life I've had a PPO) until about 7 or 8 years ago. I was never sick only had Hashimoto's disease which is Hypothyroidism. So being self employed I went the HMO way to save...
- Ya know....my daughter works in the medical field and she always complains about how others in her office don't do their job right and she ends up fixing all the mistakes and carrying all that stress. She is one of the gals that calls you and...
- I have always taken it for anxiety but ever since my RA diagnoses I seem to need it more for stress and anxiety. I really start to wig out to the point my whole body vibrates from nerves. Since I am not officially in any RA meds yet does anyone take...
- Vent on!SERIOUSLY!I got this intense itch on my right foot big toe this morning. So I take my slipper off and scratch. Guess what I find? A new nodule on my toe next to my big toe at the first MP joint!So my RA doc's got me on antibiotics for a...
- Anyone here have both? I was recently diagnosed ADHD several months ago. I been on Vyvanse and what a difference it's made on my life. I was 50 when diagnosed. Couple of months ago I was diagnosed with Rheumatoid Arthritis but due to waiting for...
- Once the storm is over you won't remember how you made it through, how you managed to survive. You won't even be sure, in fact, whether the storm is really over. But one thing is certain. When you come out of the storm you won't be the same person...
- All my life I've gone bare foot. Around the house mostly. I work at home so I been bare footing it since 2004....until the middle of this year. It was my feet that first showed the RA although we thought it was just good old fashion foot pain. Seen...
- Since RA is a "whole body" disease I thought I'd ask about those "other" weird things that may or may not be related. You really start to think, "Am I making this crap up?"I been hurting worse in the colder mornings. No surprise but one thing I have...
- I have a new pain! My knees are starting to hurt in the morning. Both. It seems to have started with the change in weather. It's been getting colder now. I mentioned it once to my husband about the cold making me hurt a little more in the morning...
- Right now I'm premenopausal and have not had a period for 5 months. Last night my body decided it was time to have one. Today it's heavy, I'm bloated, gassy and crampy. My whole body aches and I don't feel real good. My feet hurt more and I feel...
- I've felt pretty good the last couple of weeks. I wake up with stiffness and sore feet but not as bad as it has been in the past.I'm not on any meds as of yet. I have not been taking any OTC pain medications either. I'm curious about how your pain...
- Hi....So glad I found this group. I been lurking in the background for some time but finally decided to join. Hope this is not too long. For quite a long time I've had swelling on my right hand middle finger. Never really gave it much thought until...
