Guest guest Posted September 17, 2007 Report Share Posted September 17, 2007 Hey all. My name is and I'm 25 years old. I've been diagnosed with Raynaud's and RA since I was 15 and then diagnosed with Lupus when I was 17. I am currently taking Plaqunil and Celebrex and have been for about 7 years now. I find that the Celebrex really isnt working well anymore and I find myself in more and more pain. I have been very stressed out lately (with starting a career and all that life entails) and I know the stress is making things worse too. I am currently in the process of looking for a new Rhuematologist. The one I have now is not very personable and I dont feel comfortable with him. I get a lot of pain in my hands accompanied by swelling in my fingers and palms. I also get a lot of nodules on my arms, legs and back. Fatigue is also a huge issue with me. This is what I am most concerned about considering I work with kids and have to be on the top of my game every day. I just wanted to introduce myself and see if anyone had any advice that is helpful in managing pain and fatigue. It is comforting to know that there are others out there in the same kind of pain as me. I dont know anyone else who suffers from these conditions so I feel all alone sometimes. Thanks for listening all!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
