Guest guest Posted April 18, 2005 Report Share Posted April 18, 2005 Hello, I am new here and hope to be able to provide support as well as get some for myself. I was diagnosed with RA in November of last year and feel like I am at the end of my rope. I am only 33 and have 3 small children and am in so much pain. The medications the doctor has put me on do little to help me and just 3 days agoe I went off the prednisone. I am also having trouble losing weight and decided that there has to be another medication I can take that will not hinder my weight loss. I was just at the doctor today armed with lots of information about the RA as well as Lupus and he just poo pooed me and sent me out the door. He did though want me to have my hands and feet xrayed which I had done right after my appointment. What I really need to hear from some of you is how you cope on a daily basis with all the pain. I am just so tired of feeling crappy. i do not even want to get out of bed some days. I hope to hear from some of you and look forward to meeting and hearing your stories.
