Living with Rheumatoid
by: JoLee on Fri, Aug 03 2007

Diagnoised [diagnosed] about 1 year ago…it had started to improve as far as movement and pain. I am now finding that the medications that I am currently taking are in my opinion not doing anything for me. I take Methotraxate 10 mgs once a week and an injection of Humera once every other week. I can no longer get my rings on my right hand over my knuckles. Some days are worse than others and I am dreading the winter coming with the COLD weather. Has anyone had any other success stories. I need to find something else…or maybe just another doctor.
