I am so happy to find this site! I was diagnosed with RA about a year ago but had been having symptons about a year prior to that. I had been tested for RA but came up negative. It was so bad living with pain and no meds besides ibuprofren to help the pain. They since have put me on Celebrex, Methotrexate, Predinisone, and now Humira. Yesterday was my first injection and it hurt a little more than I anticipated! Any suggestions on how to ease the sting? Shots don't bother me but may it was just because I did it myself. It's nice to hear that i'm not alone with RA. The pain, depression, and frustrations. There were mornings when I didn't think I could turn the door knob or start my car to take my son to school. And not being able to sleep because of the pain I think has been the hardest for me so far. I'm only 32 and it was so embarising for me in public when I could barley get up from a table or walking extremely slow because the bottoms of my feet hurt. I was like I would wake up and a different part of my body was hurting. It was crazy how the RA jumped around like it did. I'm finally coming out of my depression, able to sleep through the night, and can get around with very little pain. I feel like I have my life back again!
