I know a lot of people continue on with their lives after getting the condition. I am just curious to know how many people find their nitch, so to speak after getting the condition because a lot of us were in school, starting a families or even younger than that before getting the condition. Another thing I have to remember and I think ia a lesson for everyone is that what works for one doesn't necessarily work for the other, I'm afraid and I really wish that was not the case. I have to remember that when I hear of others' succeeding on something I didn't like Enbrel. That way I can keep pushing on and forward to find the right therapy for me (and I would love to see the focus on remission but more research needs to be done). Otherwise, I would feel there is no hope. I guess the key point is to keep searching for the correct therapy and praying for a remission. 'as long as there is life, there is hope' Thanks for your reply. peace and healing, Ebony Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 28, 2005 Report Share Posted October 28, 2005 On my diabetes mailing lists, we often say YMMV (Your mileage may vary.) It is just as true for RA as it is for diabetes. I think the important thing is not to give up hope; just keep pestering your rheumy until he gets it right.

Guest guest Posted June 28, 2006 Report Share Posted June 28, 2006 That was me.... " it's not fair, I shouldn't hurt this bad when I'm only 31! " Of course, then I think about my mom, who got dx'd when she was 15...maybe 31 isn't so bad after all.

Guest guest Posted June 29, 2006 Report Share Posted June 29, 2006 Marwa, you have a right to be scared, being alone in a new country with a new job. That would be enough, without adding in the RA. You must be a very brave person to attempt changing countries, so I'm sure you'll do fine with everything. I took Arava for a while, and it worked very well to control my pain and inflammation, but I had to stop it because of a low white blood cell count that was caused by methotrexate and made worse by the Arava. So I'm hoping you will become " Marwa the RA Slayer. " No, I don't have a problem with pavements here in the United States; they don't make them too high. Plus the Enbrel is controlling my RA so well that I wouldn't have a problem even if they were too high. My name IS Sue, but I'm called Sue. But you're welcome to give me a nickname if you like, LOL.
