Journal Entry for March 20, 2007 Mood

Tuesday, March 20, 2007

I went to my Rhematologist today and she put me on injectable Methotrexate instead of the tablets. She said it will make it easier to increase my dosage without as much stomach upset...Always good news! I am now on Sulfazine, Methotrexate and Prednisone. I have had severe RA for almost 2 years now. I am just glad there are things out there to try that may help me through this..it's been the most challenging thing I've ever had to face in my life.

Hi, I have had RA since 2002. I have a torn tendon in my right foot and both my heels are deformed from the disease. It is very challenging to get up every day and face this disease head on. I have moved into the moderate stage since I was diagmosed. I was on Enbrel until we switched insurance companies and it would cost me $265 a month, which we can't afford so I am taking Avara now. Plus methotrexate. I work part-time but I am here to talk if you need to.

Living with RA can be very challenging,but finding a good web-site like this one, will be able to inform and encourage you. You don't have to face RA alone. There is a whole community that is here for you. I am here if you need someone to talk to.
