Guest guest Posted January 31, 2005 Report Share Posted January 31, 2005 I was told I had RA a few years ago and am taking methotrexate injections, folic acid, and salsalate. I take other meds for other problems too. Blood work every two months and so far I'm doing fine there. I have had a few flare ups, only one bad one (for me) but having found this forum less than a month ago, I feel so lucky and yet so guilty for even complaining. So many of you are so brave and " up " with your posts yet are in pain most of the time. I admire you all. BettyMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 1, 2005 Report Share Posted February 1, 2005 Betty, please don't feel guilty for being unlucky enough to have RA but lucky enough to be doing well! And we very much need to hear the positive stories. I'll tell you where to go!

Guest guest Posted February 1, 2005 Report Share Posted February 1, 2005 is so right. Many members feel better after being on meds but then they leave the group. It is encouraging to read how well you are doing. a On Tue, 01 Feb 2005 03:10:01 -0000, shediditagen <shediditagen@...> wrote: > > > I was told I had RA a few years ago and am taking methotrexate > injections, folic acid, and salsalate.
