I was diagnosed when I was 22 I am now 39 I have two children one is adopted there are some wonderfull meds that will help you just do not be afraid of side effects becasue they are nothing compared to what you will live with if you do not take your meds. Embrell changed my life one injection a week I can run do step aerobics and I work part time on my feet all day on bad days I take my pain pills and go. I se a reumtalogist about once every three months and I aggresively treat my arthritis. Educate your self and you will be back in your feet soon Please take every medications that your dr. suggest. Your family deserves that.
I TAKE MY REDS RELIGIOUSLY BUT I DONT KNOW WHAT TO DO WHEN THE PAIN IS PARTICULARLY BAD LIKE AFTER I WORK OUT OR DURING WORK OTC PAIN MEDS DO NOT HELP AT ALL NEITHER DOES VICODIN WHEN I LAY DOWN I USUALLY HAVE LIKE SIX ICE PACKS ALL OVER MY BODY BUT THATS JUST A TEMPERARY FIX
Are you seeing a Rheumatologist? Do you take anything that slows or stop the progession of the disease, possibly putting it in remission? I do believe I am in remission with just 8 weeks on Methotrexate. My doctor asked me not to work out until we had the pain under control. Maybe you are hurting your joints.
YES I SEE A RHEUMATOLOGIST AND SHE HAS ME ON PLAQUENIL 200 MG TWICE A DAY AND PREDNISONE 5 MG EVERY MORNING IM CURIOUS THOUGH IF ANY OF MY OTHER MEDS HINDER THE EFFECTS THOUGH BCUZ IVE HAD 2 BRAIN SURGERIS THIS YEAR AND HEART SURGERY AND LAST YEAR I HAD SPINAL CORD SURGERY SO I TAKE A LOT OF OTHER MEDS FOR THESE CONGENITAL DISEASES I HAVE
Sounds like you need some of the new drugs like embrell or humira. embrell is injected once a week which reminds me I need to take mine right now.
