Hi, I’m new here... | Arthritis Information

Hello everyone!

 I am 34 years old, been married 9 years, and I have one daughter- she's 11 yo.

I'm new to the boards; although, I have been diagnosed with RA over a year.  I coped with pain for 2  1/2 years before I was finally diagnosed.  I saw my rheumy for the first time in June of this year.  He has made several changes to my meds on and off throughout these months.  I am now taking mtx- 6 times/week; folic acid- 2x/day; prednisone- has been decreased to 1 1/2/ day; hydrocodone and tramadol- pain meds that I take a minimum of 3x/day; arthrotec- 3x/day.

I just wanted to introduce myself and say,

I have been dx'ed with RA and Fibromyalgia---I am accustomed to coping with pain.  I still work; I work 12 hr shifts.  As I said....I'm coping.

Hi Ebony, Sorry about your RA but welcome and glad to meet you.

We have three things in common already....I'm also 34...also have an 11 year old daughter....and also have RA. I imagine as time goes by we'll discover more things as well.

Good to have you here.
