| A little about me: | As of January 2013, I am working mom of two, diagnosed with RA in October 2008. This is an exhausting and frustrating disease.. Some days it's difficult just to get out of bed, let alone take care of the kids, go to work, take care of the house, etc.. I am very thankful for the good days, and try to make the best of them without overdoing it. That's difficult though.. MTX isnt working so well for me, but reluctant to begin Humira shots... I'm not a big fan of taking meds so I keep resisting. Maybe still a little in denial too... I realize there are far worse things I could have, so I try not to complain too much. Just looking for some support, because it doesn't exist at home at all. Doctor added Fibromyalgia to my list of ailments in October 2010, and of course I'm in denial of that as well!lol What can you do? When life hands you lemons, make lemonade! Please note: While I am a Group Leader, I am NOT qualified to give medical advice. I am not a doctor, a nurse, or a medical professional. I am a person seeking information just like you. If you have a question of a medical nature regarding your illness, please see your physician! Thanks!! :-) |
