I too feel the same way.  I'm new to this board because I'm frustrated.  I was diagonosed 3 years ago. The pain is gone and I can function,  but the amount of stiffness and fatigue makes me feel 100.  I've been on Methotrexate for over a year.  I keep asking my rheumatologist, "Is this as good as it gets?"   I didn't like the answers my first Rheumatologist gave me, so I now am seeing another in another city.  But I get the same answers.  Can anyone relate to "Well, can you get out of bed in the morning?"  Yes, I can.  Is this the standard question they all ask--well, if you can get out bed you're doing good enough???  He's very impressed because I'm very active and exercise every day.  That does help with the stiffness.  Am I being selfish for wanting to feel better?
