Hi ;

Welcome to the group. Yes, it is nice to know that you are not alone and that

you can talk things over with RA-mates.

Stay in touch.

Welcome . Sorry for the reasons you're here, but glad you found

us.

I'm also on enbrel & mtx and am doing ok, but still wishing for

better. I've had

RA for 25 years. I also have fibromyalgia, which is just as bad as

the RA.

I'm hoping this is the last trip to the hospital for you.

Hiya a,Thanks for my welcome message.Yes RA is a life changing

experience thats for sure.I had about 3 years of mayhem when i first

was diagnosed with RA.How my family and friends didn't disown me i

don't know.I felt robbed,even a kind of self abuse feeling towards

RA,has anyone else felt like this?.One day my sister came to

visit,and i was my usual miserable self,she said " So this is it

then,just waiting to die!,so we have lost you in this pain torn

world of yours,goodbye! if you ever feel like company give me a

ring " Well i almost died on the spot with shock lol!So i took stock

instantly and slowly became the person i am today.I am coping with

RA a day at a time,i still find it hard to look too far in the

future.I know i need other RA people to talk too,as you are the only

people who understand my struggle with day to day life,its great to

be here!

Hi RA buddies!

I was diagnosed with RA in April 2005 and for almost a year I have been very

angry about this disease. Now I'm accepting it for what it is and working on

controlling it instead of letting it control me...it's hard and somedays I want

to just stay under the covers all day. I just had a praticularly nasty reaction

to Remicade Friday and I've been under the weather all weekend...hopefully I'll

be back up and running for another work week in the morning. '
