RA Sucks!

Okay, so I was recently (in the last year) diagnosed with seronegative rheumatoid arthritis. And, let me tell you, it has not been pleasant. Between the fevers, chills, sweating, and joint pain I'm pretty much done.


I haven't started any DMARDs yet, because I'm still waiting to get into a rheumatologist and we're waiting for cold & flu season to end.

I'm definitely not looking forward to starting any new medicines with (potentially dangerous) side effects, but I'm definitely looking forward to some relief. Because right now I feel like an "old" lady going through menopause!

I'm still doing massage, acupuncture, meditation, etc. But, I'm hopeful some conventional medicine might help me out a little bit more.
