Guest guest Posted August 22, 2005 Report Share Posted August 22, 2005 Hi, I am a newbie to this group. I'm 41 and was recently diagnosed with RA (seronegative, for what it's worth). It mostly affects my hands and feet. My doctor has started me on the standard protocol - low dose prednisone, metho, plaquenil and folic acid. I also take Ibu secondary to recent knee surgery. I have been on meds for approximately 5 weeks - doc says it will take a couple months for them to really start working, but already I notice a significant decrease in pain (probably mostly due to the prednisone?). I know everyone responds differently to meds, but am interested if many/any of you on this same protocol have had success with it. I'm sure I will have a lot more questions over time and I appreciate all the great resources I have already found from this group. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
