About Me

I am 45years old and I live in NJ.  I am married to a wonderful man,for twenty five years, and have two grown children.  I was diagnosed with RA four years ago.  I was in pretty bad shape with my hands and feet at the time and was put on methotrexate and mobic in high doses.  My rhuemy also gave me pain meds.  I was petrified that I would be a cripple soon and had no idea about all the other debillatating  conditions that can develop in your body because of RA.  I am currently still on mx and I drink monavie juice.  It has anti-inflammatory properties, anti-oxidants, helps me with my energy, fatigue,and I sleep so much better.  I wish I could give to everyone that has RA.  I was taking many pain meds a day and anti-inflammatories and now none!! I just recently (today sept 25, 2008) started enbrel and I am pretty scared because of all the side effects and at the last minute I froze and couldn't give myself the shot and my husband had to do it. what a baby I felt like, but thank God he is here to help me through this..As I said scared of side effects and basically getting sick. Looked my desk at work so noone can use my pen and keep alcohol wipes on hand for my phone and keyboard. who wants to catch the common cold and have it turn into pneumonia?? not me. I have found out alot on this site from very interesting and diverse people.
