Arthritis

[cynfit]

Is there anyone out there who suffers from arthritis? I have rheumatoid arthritis and have problems with chronic fatigue. Just wanting to know how others are dealing with it for some extra motivation.

Health and happiness, cynfit

Hi cynfit!

I know there are a few ladies on here that have RA. I'm sure they will give you some great advice. I wrote you a personal email, so check your email account

Hello Cynfit... I have RA. I am 44 and was diagnosed six years ago. Fatigue has been a problem for me at times depending on how good my control was at the time. Right now I am battling anemia from the bone marrow suppression. Humira isn't quite up to full effectiveness yet since I just went on it in August so my hemoglobin still hasn't rebounded back up to normal levels but it is heading that way.

What meds do you take? Which of your joints are affected? PM or e-mail me if you'd like. I have been on every medication there is for RA since I was diagnosed due to it either not working at all, giving only partial control, or in the case of Enbrel, worked for 2 1/2 years and then quit working altogether.

Look forward to talking with you.
