Hi Everyone,
I haven't been on here for such a long time, infact probably since I have been in remission which has been October of 2008. I can hardly believe that I have been painfree for nearly one year !! This all happened when my rheumy started me on Sulfasalazine, plus two Plaquenil daily. I am still taking these medications, have not stopped taking them, but I go back to see him in October and he said he will wean me off some of the drugs. I'm really scared to be honest, because I feel soo good, I don't want to take the risk of eliminating any drugs.
I tell ya, funny how life works, soon as I became in remission, my husband left me after 9 years of marriage. It was a terrible time for me, having to deal with RA and then my husband leaving me. I have been grateful for being in remission because I really didn't have anyone to rely on but him, now I'm all alone and looking forward to moving back to my home town to be with my family. Don't know what I would of done if I still have the symptoms of RA and no husband.
So, I'm telling everyone out there, have hope and have faith because I never imagined I would be in remission, I developed RA about four years ago and have been in remission for near one year. I can do everything I used to do. I would love to hear of more stories that have become in remission.





Hey nice to see you and thanks for your comments !
Yes I now realized that after being separated for almost 10 months, I believe it was for the best and that I deserve better. It took me a long time to realize, but time heals all.
Are you in remission too?
Yes I will check with my rheumy I go to see him in October. I hope you are doing well. May great things come your way !!
Cheers
Angela
