- Well, it's been a long time coming but I finally started my first biologic last week. My insurance decide it would be Humira. I'm kinda glad since the injections are every other week instead of every week. I injected my first shot on the 15th of...
- Got up for work on Monday morning with a stiff back with some mild pain. At first I thought I just slept on it funny but if that happens it usually works out during the day or the next. It's now been 5 days and it's no better or no worse. I was...

- Hello and hope everyone is feeling good today. I have had the crud for two weeks now and wondering if I'm gonna get better or not. I haven't been sick since being on ra treatment until now. It started two weeks ago with my runny nose and sore...
- Off the mtx for almost 4 weeks now due to elevated liver enzymes. I've been saying for months that the mtx isn't doing anything for me. After the last 4 or 5 days I am changing my tune. My whole body feels like it's falling apart. Maybe It has been...
- Diagnosed august of 2014. Been on mtx 6 and folic acid 2 for 8 months now with really no significant relief. My larger joints as far as my hips and shoulders have given me less problems. My pain is not better but just different. Plaquenil was added...
- Since I have been diagnosed last summer I have taken etodolac and then switched a couple months ago to diclofenec. I can't tell either has done anything for my pain. I have also taken indomethacin for gout in the past before my ra diagnosis. Same...
- Hello my friends. Just had a couple questions about oils. I read a post earlier that Sammy posted that stated she uses them so maybe she will chime in. Talked to my sister on the phone this morning and she said that she had just bought a high...
- Just wanted to share something kinda funny that happened the other day. I came down with this scratchy throat a few days back. It would hurt to swallow but nothing extreme. Bugged at me for about three days. I'm thinking I'm coming down with...
- Hello, have a couple quick questions about some skin problems with mtx use. I do sometimes get small infections on my skin from time to time and have all my life and it's nothing new. But now since I've been on the dmards for a few months and it has...
