hi, I'm new also.

I was diagnosed with RA last year early in my disease, hence, my signon of luckygirl. I'm doing pretty well on just 8 methotrexate pills a week except I still get tired occasionally, and sometimes, I can't pick up my energy. I have an occassional flare with pain and swelling if I push my exercise. I'm also wondering about the biologics, right now, my rheumatologist is recommending against it.

I'm 30 yr old mother of 2, soon to be 3. Enbrel sure click works better for me than methotrexate. Also ask about Provigil. It's a non narcotic, non caffeine alertness med, but makes a difference of night & day. I can help you function through the day when you would normally be exhausted.
