possible ra diagnosis

[marcia038]

Waiting for bloodwork to come back, but pretty sure I have ra. I've been in extreme pain since July and hope to finally have an answer. I'm pretty upset as I have two young girls. Some days are good, others I can barely muddle through. I'm tired of the emotional toll it's taking on me. Anyone else out there going through same?

I think that everyone with RA is going or has gone through what you are going through.  I've been diagnosed for over 2 yrs, and I still have the aches & pains with all the meds I'm on now.  It is definitely better than it was, but not gone either.  Hope you get some relief soon!

You're not alone. I got diagnosed in April after trying to deal with the pain for a few months. I am still in pain, but the dr wants me to try Enbrel with the Methotrexate I am on, so we will see.

Im on Enbrel. I haven't had it in 4 weeks bc I've been sick & I'm sure feeling the pain. My husband gives me the shot bc I work myself up so much about it. My dr kept me away from metho bc it is very harmful to a baby & since we will be TTC before long he didnt want to take any chances. Good luck with your meds & hope all of you can keep your pain under control

Hope you find out what you have soon., and get some help.  Let us know.  I really never had any idea people had pain and stiffness  this bad on a continuous basis.  But, I'm sure some conditions can be even worse in some ways.  I'm so glad for this group, so people understand each other.

i know what you mean for while i couldn't even move. I'm doing so so unless i need to go up steps i can go down easily but cant go up them that's why i didn't go to relatives for Christmas I'm really down on myself because of it
