I was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis in June 2000. I started with enbrel treatment, which worked wonderfully for six years. After a year long decline, I agreed to add in methotrexate, which has controlled my symtoms quite well except for my knees. Early in 2007, I was diagnosed with severe knee osteoarthritis. Currently, I can barely walk or stand and I am considering knee replacements in both knees.
I have a blog at http://web.mac.com/italialesbica abot living with chronic illness. My blog is titled: Comes Wisdom To Us: Living with Chronic Illness. I am focussing on the day to day difficulties, challenges and successes in a direct, honest way. I would love to have you visit and comment on my entries.
