I was diagnosed with RA in January 2007. I used pred, mtx and plaquenil and got significantly better - I had very mild RA in my opinion. I went off all meds December 07 and did really well all year until 6 weeks ago. My 'friend' has returned with a vengeance. I am waiting for the rheumy to call me with an appointment.
In the meantime, my wonderful internist gave me some mobic and darvocet for some relief. At least maybe I will be able to stand more easily (so stiff and hurts!) and get the swelling in my right had to go down.
woo hoo!

Yep, I tried that too once and I actually got all the pain back within weeks not months !!! I tell ya this disease tricks you, makes you feel a whole lot better and then before you know it, here it comes again.
I just wish they would find a cure for this disease or at least a drug that stops it entirely from coming back !! There has to be some hope for us out there, I just don't see any right now..
Well hope you feel better soon!!!
