Hi, everyone I was diagnosed with RA April 29th 2008. I have been taking methotrexate 2.5 mg and folic acid. When I first started taking mx I was afraid because of the side effects, but I have been taking it now for about a month and the only thing I have been feeling is really tried. My RA doctor talked about the injection I'm a little scared about it but right now I'm willing to try anything. It's been about 2weeks that I have not had a flare up and I'm hoping that is the medication and not a remission, I am so afraid of the pain because when I get it I can't even walk or use my hands. I'm 40 years old just turn 40 and I feel like I'm 95. I really would like to do the things that I like to do workout and play volleyball, without worrying about the pain I'm having.
