Hello

[Guest guest]

Hello Everyone,

My name is Pat and I am new to the list. I have been diagnosed for

several years now and am presently being treated for my RA by

being infused with Remicade every 8 weeks and taking low dose

Methotrexate every week. So far I have had no ill effects from

this treatment. After original diagnosis I began being treated with

Humira. My joints never felt so good. However, after several months

of injecting myself with this medicine I began having breathing

problems and was so tired I didn't even care if I did breathe. I

changed doctors and treatment and am grateful for the medication

that I am receiving.

I take care of my husband who became a paraplegic last November

and I sometimes don't know if I will have the energy to do everything

for him that needs to be done every day and night. I am very tired most

of the time. I know having to get up 3 times during the night to turn him

isn't helping with the fatigue but it is something that has to be done. I

am wondering if there is anyone in this group that is taking medication

that helps with fatigue?

Hope to get better acquainted with all of you and thanks for the support.

I always sign my mail with hugs, I hope you don't mind.

Hugs,

Pat
