Arthritis Foundation

Those are the exact meds I am on at this time. I am 26 and just got diagnosed about 4 months ago. I hear ya on the feet issue. It sucks! I have been on the metho about 2 1/2 months, I haven't noticed any big changes yet, but I'm always crossing my fingers and love to chat with other out there like me. Hang in there!!

I know that what you are going through is bad and it does not seem to be getting better. If you are willing to try a different route and report on it I am willing to send you a free jar of Manuka Honey from New Zealand. This is unlike anything you have seen.

This is unique of the nectar from the Manuka Plant that only grows in New Zealand.

Hi! I am also in the Phoenix area. I am 26 and was just diagnosed about 4 months ago. SO nice to find someone in the area. I am also putting together a team for the walk and am very excited about it. Would love to hear from you! Hang in there.

Mr Knight I had a bad right hip and worked for a year before I couldnt stand it anymore drs wanted to hold off since I was too young (36 at the time) it was the most horrible year of my life and if I had to do it over again I would. I couldnt last 30 mins at work and at the time I was managing 4 restaurants so commuting throughout the county was a ... Read Moredaily thing for me. Even sitting for 30 mins I thought I would be ok since it was a rest for me but it made it worse. I to was 30 lbs overweight but I demanded to have hip replacement it was my choice and I knew the consequences. Well here I am 3 yrs later and so glad I had surgery but on the down side my left hip is bad and in need of replacement but I am not working so I dont hurt as bad. I have tried to claim disability since all my drs say I cannot hold down any kind of job due to other joints in my body being "bad" as well but was denied. Anyways I hope you find something that will help you out.

If you can't do the diet then I would highly recommend keeping a record of the things you eat. That shamed me into eating better and lighter!

Cheryl.. through i didnt read that, I did read an article some time ago in a med journal @ drs office about the possibility that JRA is somehow linked to vax reaction..
H1N1 is not much to worry about.. good hygene and common sense just like with everything else..

I agree. I have RA and MS, and I haven't gotten a flu shot for 7 years because it caused flare ups.
