this post taught me a lot. It seems to me as if the year has zipped by and I don't really remember everything that happened. I think I'm going to take a walk down memory lane, looking at my posts from 2011 so I can remember where I've been. Looking back, it becomes obvious that life is indeed good.

thanks for the reminder and thanks for being part of the RA community team.

Thanks for your interesting post. I am a bit confused though about how you can be so active and apparently pain free?, yet still have nodules and need to change medications.

Unfortunatley I am not 100% painfree, but in comparison to where I have been, the pain is very small. My rheumatologist believes methotrexate was the cause of the new nodules. She was concerned that new ones were popping up so we switched to Arava. It doesn't seem to work as well for my body but we will see how it does long term with the nodules.
