Rheumatoid Arthritis.
Hey everyone, I just recently joined Imzy, so I figured I'd find an autoimmune disease community here. So happy I did! I wanted to introduce myself. I'm Fiction, and I have RA. I've had it for a long time apparently, but was only diagnosed four years ago. I've been on methotrexate, and Enbrel, and am now on Humira and Lefunomide. If anyone has any questions, I would happy to try and answer them concerning the meds and such. Love you all, and remember to horde those spoons.




I've been diagnosed with fibro for over 10 years now. Weird AI diseases seem to run in the family now. My sis has RA too, my mom has MS. Some days I believe in fibro, some days I think it's just a trash diagnosis that docs give us when they can't come up with something better. Anyway love to you too and here's to a low pain day. May we all find it.
Welcome! Glad you found us. :) Feel free to vent away and share hugs as needed.
Thank you dear!
I did the same thing :) I have celiac disease and fibromyalgia. I am awaiting test results for rheumatoid and yet another test for lupus. I am not taking anything more than occasional over the counter pain reliever, I learned over the years to tolerate the pain, but I've reached a point where I am reviewing that decision.
May you have many smiles today.
Ms. Fortitude
My mum suffers osteo and rheumatoid arthritis, she was on methotrexate when I was a kid.
