Guest guest Posted August 17, 2005 Report Share Posted August 17, 2005 Hi all - my name is Bonnie, from CT - and I was diagnosed one year ago with RA (my RF factor was 269) - and I'm now 37 years old. It's been a rough year - was on 1000mg of Naproxen for 9 months - which caused bad gastritis and acid reflux, tried Methotrexate - but got huge mouth ulcers. Now I'm on Humira (now weekly), plus plaquinel (it didn't work alone), plus they are starting me on sulfasalazine plus 5 mg of predinsone, 50 mg zoloft and for the stomach I have to take 2 prevacid, 1 zantac 150 and 4 carafate....I " M a walking drug store and I hate it! I gained 20 or so pounds this year - and I do work out for 15 mins 5 days/week on the Tony Little's gazelle machine - I just needed to vent - it's so hard - thanks for listening!
