Eembril,Celebrex,Vicodin,Ativan with few flares as I try to do the things that bring them on. Of course you can't control the weather.It really helps to read all your posts
No one knows what RA is like except a fellow sufferer. I forgot I have fibro and take Lyriica for that. God bless

I have been diagnosed with Sjorgrens Syndrome for about 7 yrs now, and I am in such pain I can't stand it. I now have pain in the back of my rt leg it came on about a week ago and my Dr. wants me to see a bone Dr I also have a hip implant in same leg, almost feels like hip before surgery. I am currently on Enbrel, Celebrex, Tramadol for arthritis. Nothing seems to have between the Sjorgrens meds and arthritis meds I take a slew of pills every day the only time it dont hurt is at rest, sleeping. I can hardly walk now and am getting fed up with Doctors. Thank you for letting me vent.

How important is it to go to a RA doctor as opposed to a Internal Med. Dr. or a Pain Management Clinic???

All I can say is if you feel a medication is making you feel worse then it probally is. I was on metrotrexate for 6 months before I realized it was the culprit of my low blood count and anemia. It nearly killed me. I also gradually got worse with each dose. I'm in a support group called dailystrength.com and they have a great rheumatoid support area with over 2,500 members. They discuss pain, medication usage, and much more. Also, if your rheumy is not willing to give you pain meds then you should find another one. You shouldn't be taking tylenol or a antidepressant for RA. Look to a new rheumy if you're not properly medicated because it WILL get worse if not controlled.
I'm currently taking Arava and Humira and I'm able to return work. I was dx May 2011 with agressive onset-I couldn't walk, put on clothes, clean, etc. I had to move back with my parents at age 42 for care. I've since moved back home and I'm fully functionable again. Hang in there-it will get better if properly medication. And remember dailystrength.com for more support and answers. No one will really answer you here.

I have recently been diagnosed with RA, and have only taked Plaquenil. After 9 months of 200mg twice a day, I am doing allright. I still have some pain, but not as much swelling and inflammation. My problem is a low platelet count that usually runs 35k to 75k. Due to this, I am scared to take most meds for pain and arthritis. I am afraid it will lead to internal bleading. Am I being paranoid? Does anyone who is taking any of these meds know what there platelet count is? I don't have a regular rheumatologist.

I am 43 and I was just diagnosed with RA. I finallly got to the point that I just could not take the pain anymore.

I have severe shoulder and arm pain. I don't know a better way to describe it other than it's making me crazy.

I suffer with depression and the doctor decided to change my anti-depression medication to Cymbalta. I started taking this medication now for 3 months and I am still not getting any relief.

The worse part is that with Cymbalta I can not take NSAIDS because the combination causes heavy bleeding and bruising. I found this out the hard way.

I continue to take Cymbalta and although my mental mood is fine my physical ailments are starting to set me back.

Why is it that they don't perscribe Narcotic Pain Medication for this?? I have found relief in Hydrocodone and I get my energy level back and I am capable of doing the things I use too. Granted during the night I awake often to the pain in my shoulders and arms and I have to wait for the medication to take effect but from then on I am good. I understand there is a risk of addiction for Narcotics but if they work and give me back the quality of life that I am use too what is the problem?

Has anyone else found relief in this manner??

Riverqueen,

You need to ask your doctor's office about a drug assistance program. Healthwell Foundation or Remistart both offer assistance if you meet their criteria.

I was recently diagnosed with RA. I have been very active my whole life until this hit 5 months ago and the age of 24. Surfing, running, hiking, walking everything I love to do is totally out of the question. I want to start a family in the near future but my dr. wants me to start methotrexate now. I am so very afraid of this drug. Terrified!! I'd rather wait to start treatment so I can have a healthy family, but then again, I don't know how much longer I can live with this pain. Every drug I've heard of for the treatment of RA is just as scary as the next. Does anyone have any helpful words or thoughts? Mahalo

So not only are my joints involved the muscles are too.

I have had RA for 15 years. I started out on plaqunial and 5m of predisone. worked well for me until my dr decided I had gone into remission and suggested I go off all meds. Mistake, I got really bad with swollen joints, methotrexate did not work so went on arava and enbrel shots which worked great for 7 years. I had a hip replaced and now enbrel does not work for me. I am in alot of pain and my Dr is having me try different shots,still taking arava, cimzia, this is new, didn't work and she is putting me on humira ???? Am praying it will work like enbrel did. Has anyone had experience with HumiraLaura

I have now been on many RA sites like this one. I am 62 and have been dealing with this nightmare for 14 years. DON'T GIVE UP, it is controllable. For me REMICADE is working the best, and I've tried all the rest. I combine anti-depressant, pain relievers, anti-anxiety, and Neurontin. It is a continual struggle and you have to stay flexible and be willing to change meds. Our bodies change so be willing to work on your diet, get family support, pray (it can't hurt), and use the drug companies, your doctor, SSI, MEDICAID, test groups, and these sites to stay current. PLEASE don't give in to the depression, it can kill you, get help, it works.

I was diagnosed with SLE and RA in 2000 and osteoarthritis in 2008. I was put on methotrexate by my rhuematologist and had a horrible reaction. He then put me on Remicade and it was working wonderfully, but my liver enzymes rose to almost 1000. Needless to say, I can't do Remicade anymore. I started a new injectable med today and pray it works as well as the Remicade was and that my liver doesn't have a fit again.

To Michael Neumann:
I had a similar experience. I have had RA for awhile and was on Remicade for about 18 months along with methotrexate and other meds. Since I got no relief from Remicade I was switched to Rituxan. I had no problems with the first three doses and then with the fourth, about 4 hours after it was finished, I started having seizures, I couldn't control my arms and legs no matter what they did at the ER. I was in the hospital for 5 days and off work for 2.5 months. They put me on so much prednisone in the hospital that it took 2.5 months to get back down to my usual 5 mg per day. Now, nobody will give me any IV RA meds and my insurance won't pay for the injectable kinds. I am on pain meds and still work 40 hours a week as a nurse but I too hope my life isn't as long as most. I won't do anything to end it myself as I don't believe I have the right to make a decision like that, but I hope longevity isn't something I have to deal with either. I'm 47 now and feel at least 90 most days. I just wanted to let you know that I understand how you feel and feel the same way. Keep on going as best you can and our day will come sometime. I am afraid that this new legislation about pain meds that is being discussed is going to cause a lot of us problems as they are putting a lot of regulations on prescribing pain meds. The docs will have to be certified in that area, the patients will have to go to education classes and go to a pain clinic. It will be difficult to have pain meds prescribed and I can't imagine the pain without them. It really scares me but I can only hope that God is merciful and helps in this situation. I just wanted to let you know that you aren't alone in how you feel. God Bless.

I have had RA for one year and before I was told that, I was planning on a very much needed knee replacement. My RA dr said absolutely no, I couldn't have the surgey due to my taking prednisone, CellCote and all my other meds. She said my body might rejec the implant. Just when can I have the surgery? I am in such pain from my knee, and then I have flares once in a while and that hurts also.

To Stephanie:
So sorry to hear of your plight and at such a young age. I am no expert but from your comment, I don't know why you can't get diasability. Have you worked in your life? If so, you paid for it and you now need it. Try a disability lawyer. They are experts and make sure they don't charge you unless they win your case. Also, appeal you claim. Go to one of their doctors for a second opinion (SSI). Hang in there and remember RA can and does go into remission. Do all YOU can do for yourself...good nutrition, gentle walking and range of motion exercises and feed your soul (rest without worry). Hope this helps.

For men..there is evidence of lowered testerone levels with ra..dont know the cause and effect..but a few wonderful studies show treating the hormone levels and getting them back to previous levels actually puts ra back into remission..please ask your doctors about hormone levels and correlation with pain reduction if levels are brought up?...if anabolics can do this why isnt this better known..and why are we all allowed to suffer when we dont have to?...lets all go back to no pain...and heres a thought no pills???how much will quality of life improve..wow..no pain..no stiffness..no daily medications...poor drug companies would suffer...but wow...life back to normal???keep informed folks..this is actually true

In response to Rochelle, I am using enbrel only and am doing great. 3 years ago I couldn't walk for more than 5 minutes before sitting down because it hurt. I bowl twice a week and am a high school bowing coach and have had no pain. The only time I feel pain is when the weather changes. I do sometimes have a little swelling in the thumb join on the hand I hold the ball in but it soon goes away.

I, like everyone else who reads this, am dealing with RA. I was lucky for a long time as I was diagnosed in 1996 with the desease, but with methotrexate and salsalate was able to work and play without too much discomfort. Last year saw a big change as I started to have swelling joints again and incredible pain and weakness. I worked for the railroad industry as an electrician and found I could no longer perform my job safely. Anyway I have been put on embrel along with prednisone and methotrexate, and am still suffering. Isn't there anything that will take te pain away? My wife, who has fibromyalgia, gets some pretty good drugs for her pain, why isn't something like that available?

I have had RA for 2yrs now as of 2010 and I just don't know what to do. In 2008 I was a 28yr old healthy woman, well in March 08 my left shoulder "just drop as I worked" curling hair (was a cosmetologist). Well I didn't think it was much until April with weeks of sleepless nights,well with no health insurance I saw a many ER Dr.'s that just said I was havng muscle spasms. Well in May while walking I fell on the groung because my ankle just gave out. Well with more ER visits, no insurance and so many misdiagnosis I finally saw a Dr. that told me that I may have a torn rotator cuff and plantar facitias! Well by this time I am unable to work and in so much PAIN it was horrifing. Well finally after not being able to obtain ANY HEALTH INSURANCE from ANYONE I saw a Rheumatologist and he explained that I had ADVANCE STAGES OF RA that had deteriated the cartilage in my left shoulder, ankle and both wrist! Needless to say this was devestating to me.Well since then I have had to be on methotrexate, prednisone,for the last 7months Enbrel and now the Dr. wants me to go on Orencia. Well again it was a struggle to get the listed Rx above and now he wants me to take something that you have too have insurance for well I don't have an and have been denied for SSI and am really tired of not being able to get help for mself and others that are uninsured.And as if I need anthing else to go out my hip has lost its cartilage and the Dr. said I need a hip replacement! So in closing if there is something that someone thinks will help PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE let me know. It's really hard not being able to care for yourself and not do simple things. But I must sa it reall helps to know I'm not alone and someone understands m pain, my family is and has been with me and throughout the whole process and it means alot.

Christine,
I also suffer from RA and become discouraged because certain drugs have not worked for me. I understand feeling helpless but there is hope. When I start to feel sorry for myself I think about the fact that there are so many other people out there who are far worse off than I am and that this disease is not the end of my life. lean on the people u love for support and when u are feeling discouraged think of all the things you can do still. If you still feel so down consider talking to someone about it because nothing is worth taking ur life over. Staying positive is so hard but it can also make all the difference. Keep faith.

I live in Australia. Had RA since '92. In and out of hospital since then, having Prednisone drips, etc..Tried every drug going. currently I inject myself weekly with Enbrel, plus MTX weekly by inj, Celebrex Digesics ,panadol etc. ad nauseum..nothing helps. Going on another new Infusion drug hopefully in May, but can't remember the name.can't remember what feeling normal was like, only other sufferers know what this is like... hope this drug will work, otherwise I think I'll take my life, can't take this pain every day anymore...

I have had RA for the last 10yrs and I've just about tried everything for it. The problem with most of the usual medication for RA, is I suffer really bad side effects. My RA doctor in Australia recommended "Plaquenil" 200mg and "Mobic" 15mg everyday. "Plaquenil" is used for Malia patients, and they found that those patients who also had RA, that there pain was greatly decreased. With most of the other meds,you have to have your blood tested for varies problems that can come about, but with "Plaguenil" no tests are needed. I have been taking it for about 6-7mths and feel soo much better.I do have some days where my hands hurt, but nothing like they use to. I currently don't have insurance, but you can get them at Walmart for $24.00 per script...which is really good without insurance. Also your diet is a major factor as well. Go to webmd.com and they will have you a list of foods to avoid. Try it, and I'm sure that with the meds and diet you will notice a major different.

I was diagnosed with RA close to 9 years ago at age 21. Since then I have been on medication but had to stop taking these when we wanted to start a family. In the end we struggeld so much to fall pregnant due to frequent flare-ups that I wasoff methotrexate for close on 3 years. Our baby was born in Oct 2008 and since then I was back on methotrexate but I haven't improved as much as we would like. We want to have another baby but I am currently not healthy enough to be of the methotrexate and not sick enough for my medical aid to pay for biologicals like Enbrel to get me healthier. What are we to do?

It looks like someone was reading my mail. I have most of the symptoms and pain, but no one has mentioned Reynauds. Even in the summer,esp. at the grocery store, my hands turn white then purple then red and hurt. I have read that it is related to RA. Anyone else?
Lately I am in horrible pain in my hands, neck and elbows and the joints on my index finger are getting very large and ugly.

I have been showing signs of RA for years. It runs in my family on my mother's side. I am unable to work now due to the pain and other medical issues. Now I have started seeing a PA that listens to me and understands that it is not just writing me off like many doctor's in the past have done. I don't have insurance now due to the problems but she wants me to get tested. I can't pay for these test. Anyone know how to do this?

Since RA is a consequence of inflamation in the body has anyone thought about or had any sucess in taking foods out of their diet that cause inflammation? I have been on methotrexate, arava and plaqunial..had slight reaction to humera have a possitive PPD of .8 (TB bug) which has been treated....I am now being considered for infusion therapy. Lynn's entry of March 12th has me alittle spooked about the copay....when you are disabled and on a fixed income you can only do so much...

19 Apr 2009, 09:55
I have had RA 20 years and lots of treatments. I had the most success with Remicade,but also take prednisone & methotrexate. I had to give up the remicade as no ins. any longer as unable to work, so I enrolled in a clinical trial for tocilizumab for two years. Otherwise I would be bedridden again. It helped the first year but now I am having severe pain in my left leg. The thing that scares me is this article on TB as I lost an aunt to TB I am one of 9 kids and the only one to get RA. Thank God for that.

12 Mar 2009, 09:45
I have been on Arava, Enbrial, Humera, Methotrexate and for the past 3 months I have been on infusion of Orencia. My question is, Is there any funding available for patients with RA, I have a full time job and own my own home, its small and old and in need of so much but it is mine, and my problem is the copay is 165.00 per month and I cannot afford it anymore, I don't know if I have been on Orencia long enough but I have notice absolutely no change, I have the same problems I had before treatment began I am on the lowest dose offered I would be willing to keep taking it if they increase the dose which they are supposed to do if I can get some sort of assistance.
I have spent over 600.00 and I just can't keep doing it.
Thank you for your time

For two years I was a trial patient testing abatacept (orenia), the last drip received December 2009. For the past two weeks I've been in pain. From the specialists I gather this product is not available in South Africa. Please advise who I can contact as to when this will be released in South Africa

Regards
