Good afternoon everyone! This has been a good day. Some days are horrible and I can't find any way to tell when I'll be really hurting all over. No rhythm to this disease. I am finding that avoiding red meat is helping. I've been on methotrexate and folic acid since last September -- now doing injectable meth. -- my husband gives me a shot Friday mornings. Kind of scary, but so far so good. I hope all of you out there who are suffering can find some relief -- at least sometimes. Peace.


I completly understand, I feel good somedays and others I cant hardly get out of bed. I just get so tired/weak usually a couple of days each week and sleep all day. There is definatly no rhythm it varies week to week with me!! Good luck to you.
Hi. Thanks for writing back. I have a question for you and for anyone, really. Do you get depressed for no reason? I seem to have times that I'm really down in the dumps. Do you think this has to do with the meds. we have to take for our r.a.???
I too feel down a lot....not sure if it is depression or RA or meds?? I have not talked with my doc about this, but then again I was just diagnosed a little over a month ago so I am new to all of this!!!
