This is the first time that I have signed on to this site.  Although I do not have rheumatiod arthritis, I was diagnosed with anklosing spondilitis.  It is in the family of rheumatiod.  I carry the HLB-27 rheumatiod gene.  I first started noticing weird symptoms when I got pregnant.  I got my first bout of schleritis in my eye.  I then started to get severe joint pain in my sacroiliac joints and spine.  I then got iritis in both of my eyes, and ended up getting several shots in my eyes.  I was gettin so fatigued that I would shake.  I found it very hard to walk or get out of bed. I got to the point of crawling on the floor.  I went to a chiropractor for a year, not knowing what was wrong with me.  I was put on methotrexate, which helped some what, but the pain kept coming.  I was later put on Enbrel.  Don't know if my system got used to it.  Remicade infusion were then perscribed to me.  The pass infusion I have been extremely fatigued and am falling into a state of depression from it.  I got my dose of Celexa uped, which has helped me tremendously with the depression.  I don't feel that I was depressed before I was diagnosed.  I am now taking Humira pen shots, and methotrexate.  Ankylosing spondilitis is a disease that affects the joints just like rheumatoid.  Eventually though, my spine will be fully fused together.  I have an eight year old little boy and he is my world.  Sometimes he will ask me if I will always be tired?  It makes me feel bad.  I hope that everything is going good for you now, and the humira is helping you.
