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. My father suffered from painfull knee problems for ten years but has been pain free since ... See Morehe applied this honey on them. This is unique of the nectar from the Manuka Plant that only grows in New Zealand. View my blog at www.ManukaHoneyTX.blogspot.com and contact me at john@ManukaHoneyTX.com I want to spread the news about this wonderful honey.

I'm not as young as you ladies -45 with RA,I take the same meds as you and I know the feeling of the 90 year old body thing.My doctor thinks I need Enbrel but I'm trying not to go that route.

I am on the same meds I am 43. I have been dealing with this for about 3 to 4 years. They believe it to be RA stil puzziling my Dr. at Brigham and Women's in Boston but seems to be poining in this direction. Initially the Dr.s around here had no idea what the heck was wrong with me. At times the pain is so bad I want to scream. This past year I ... See Moretook a turn for the worse. At times I can not walk as it effects my knees, hips, and elbows. I can barely tolerate riding in a car the shift in the moving car or bumps I can barely take. So I just went on the prednisone. Which has helped. Anyone else exhausted? The fatigue is killing me. I can barely stay awake past 3 pm. I am also loosing a lot of hair this was prior to starting the Methotrexate. I just finshed 6 weeks treatments of Methotrexate 2 to 3 weeks ago now.

I am 36 and was diagnosed about 4 years ago. My pain began in my feet also. So unbearable I could not walk at all. My husand finally made me go to the doctor when he caught me crawling to the bathroom. I was on Methotrexate and prednisone with Falic acid to begin with. That worked for a short time, but then we had to add Enbrel to the Methotrexate. That has changed my life!!! If you need, consider the Biologics.
