For anyone that has RA and is taking meds for it!

This is for anyone who takes medications for arthritis. (Such as NSAID's, TNF Blockers, DMARD's, etc.) If you need information on meds, side effects,etc. and/or if you're as fed up as I am with what's happening to you because of taking some medications. Or even if it's just the way your doctor/nurse is treating you. Please email me at: littlemiss_chick05@yahoo.com I have some things I'd like to share with you once we get to know each other a little. It's important. Thanks! Best of luck to all.

p.s. If you feel like
helping someone...
this would help me A LOT.
Thanks again.<br><br>Post edited by: BrokenSoul85, at: 2008/09/23 02:57

I've got Still's (RA). and I'd rather talk on a forum like this about meds, than email you private-like. So if you've got something to discuss, we're here!

yeah, i agree posh...
..ive got sarcoidosis and thats treated with much the same meds as RA......loads of sideeffects and long term use probs associated with them.........
......i lke this site cos we do share our probs and knowledge here ..........

It would be of help to members if you could post more about R A and medication side effect here.. brokenSoul85

Ducky, RA is Rheumatoid Arthritis. It takes many forms, from quite mild to severe. Still's Disorder is a Juevenile (Childhood) arthritis, which can progress into full blown RA in later life, where the joints become completely stiff and unusable.
I don't know about other forms, sorry.

As for the medications used, it helps to have some some of anti-inflammatory, and perhaps a pain killer, depending on the severity, and how it affects the sufferer.

Yes, BrokenSoul, we'd like to discuss your subject, so please continue... ???
