new to this whole ordeal

[Guest guest]

hello i am tony and i am new to this whole ordeal kind of. I am 27

and about a year ago a started having pain in my index fingers that

has since moved to all of my fingers and my neck and upper back.

After reading some of the posts i have to admit that i am now some

what scared. I used to be farelly active, i loved archery, i have a

demanding job and 6 months ago became high angle rescue (repalling)

cerified. and now i don't do any of it, have a hard time doing my

job, let alone anything else, it seems like my family pays for this

as much as i do, (i have two kids ages 6 and 2) they don't

understand why daddy just wants to lay around most of the time.

short story long do the doctors always start you out on mtx and

prednizone, the mtx isn't working been on it for 3 months now and he

had me come off the pred, seems like a cruel joke the pred worked so

good above 40 mg. Any info you can give me would be appreciated, i

would like to get back to the stuff i used to be able to do, but do

i need to let it go?

thank you

tony
