I have had RA now for 1 year. Still not under control.. I take MTX once a week, Ultram, neurontin, folic acid, and lortab when needed... Enbrel worked at first for about two months then a few months ago my levels went back up.. So it is on to Remicaid.. Has anyone had this problem of one not working and then another will? I also have a stress fracture on my left foot... Have been dealing with that for a year now also.. It wont heal.. Has anyone had and fractures that wont heal? Or anything similar.. Just looking for some suggestions or stories of your experience// I am nervous of doing the infusions, so anyone with info on that please share...Thanks to you all... I love this site it helps so much to know I am not the only one dealing with this, since noone around understands...


Absolutely - in my experience with RA, it's quite common for a medication to work for a while and then stopped being quite as effective as it used to be. I used to hope for one medication that would work for decades, but have realized that dealing with my RA will likely mean going from one medication the next, each of them taking me further down the road. I understand your anxiety, but it is so important to get treated so you can protect your joints. There are many users on this site who are on Remicade and for whom it has been a lifesaver. Hopefully, some of them will comment on your post.
Good luck! keep us posted on your progress?
