    About Me

    I found out about 10 yrs ago have had 3 bios. have been through treatment twice have been told I am a nonresponder also have RA. Just wanted to connect with others going through the same. The same time I found out I have RA which is rhuematoid arthritis. Which makes it hard to be treated for either...since treatment for one causes the other to worsen.

    Interests

    creating apparel with leather and what ever. Designing and pattern making. Also painting people, water color, pastels, pen and ink, pencil, acrylic. Want to learn oils.

    • Close Rheumatoid Arthritis

      Hi I found out about my RA about 10 yrs ago. My doc has thrown everything in the book at me. I am now on pain management and enbrel shots. I have my good days and my bad days. Latley they have not been so bad...you tend to start to get used to the constant humming of pain.

      Treatments

      Celebrex Working / Worked
      was on for about 5 yrs . Found out I have hepc It didn't really help the pain and inflamation a lot.
      Enbrel Working / Worked
      Still using not really sure but I am not really getting worse so I guess it is working
      Humira Working / Worked
      Was not on it long. Lost medical ins. and lost treatment for a while
      Plaquenil Working / Worked
      started affecting my eyes
      Prednisone Working / Worked
      I refuse. I just can't feel good when I take this is makes me swell and the extra wght causes the RA to act out and depression.
    • Open Bipolar Disorder

      I have really fought depression all my life but threw myself into work and taking care of others I guess to run away from my feelings. Now that I am on disability because of other illnesses...I assume that the nasty head of the real reason I have fought depression has raised it's head and was amplified. I should have really known since my Mom and my sis and my daughter has been diagnosed with this. Really shocked me though I just felt like I am a total freak.

      Treatments

      Lamictal Working / Worked
      I felt a difference the very next morning. I am now on 150 once a day. Seems to be working although I still feel the depression sneaking in from time to time.
