I have been on Arava for a little over a month...and I don't feel like it's doing a thing to help me!!  I'm not as swollen as I had been, but I'm still in pain.  I go back to my rheumy at the end of August for follow-up.  I'm just wondering if anyone else has been on Arava and if it has helped...if so, how long before you noticed a difference??  I've been through sulfasalazine and methotrexate in the past year; methotrexate helped for a while and then stopped working.  (and I had fun telling people I was on "meth"!!...LOL) I'm just tired all the time...tired of hurting and then tired from not sleeping because I am hurting!!  I had to go to the grocery store last night and was almost in tears by the time we left...just from walking through the grocery store.  I get the feeling that I'm going to be on another medication after my next appointment....
