HEALTH INTERESTS:

rheumatoid arthritis

DRUGS I AM TAKING:

methotrexate,  enbrel

ABOUT ME:

I have been living with this since high school. I didn't know what it was until after I had my son and it got so bad I had a ton of different blood test done and finally found out. I have a very supportive family. I just want a normal life. To have and maintain a job, play with my kids anytime of day, go out with my husband, exercise....I dont want this anymore! Medicine helps but I hate doing the shot every week. It is expensive and it hurts! I have tried nutrition, medicine, acupuncture, heating pads and every supplement known to man! Krill oil, fish oil, this oil and that oil! I don't want to cope and live with this! I dont want to feel old at 26. I get frustrated and depressed. My family picks me up and I try something else until it doesnt work long enough where I get frustrated and depressed...it's a neverending cycle that I just dont want to go through anymore!
