I started onprednisone, plaquenil, safasalazin, and volteren 4 months ago, and inthat time my sed rate tripled. The medicine did not work. My doctortold me that there is a 90% chance that I will be in a wheelchair bymy 27th birthday next December. She wants me to try a experimentaldrug called MRA that is supposed to be better than methotrexate. Hasanyone tried this, or even heard about it. I have 2 weeks to make mydecision, and I am really scared, but feel like I have no otherchoices as my inflamation is just getting worse. Any thoughts?

God will either shield you from suffering or give you unfailing strength to bear it.
