Fish oil helps me tremendously! I too am on a quest to eliminate my meds with a diet that works! So far though, I found that nutrition helps slowly for the long term. But for the short term, I have...
I didn't have any words for this feeling. Thank you for sharing! I too experience this....
Hi kimliz59 I hope you were able to get started with it. Any luck? How are you doing? As for me, still only on Enbrel and doing pretty good except for the last day when meds wear off, I start getting...
Wow! A lot of information. Thank you! I've been reading up and it is very interesting! I may follow your footsteps in trying this too! I'm looking forward to hearing about whether LDN can help. Were...
Hi again kimliz59! That is interesting. I will take a look at your previous thread. I will also do additional research on it. I'm curious to see if that will work for you. I'm also looking for a...
I'm on Enbrel and have no fatigue. However, when I was on methotrexate (assuming this is MXT?) for 6 years up until a month ago, I did experience some fatigue. Now, I'm only on Enbrel with a modified...
Hi, there is obviously some damage from the accident. I'm sorry you're in pain as you may have arthritis setting in resembling the pain of RA. However, this is a rheumatoid arthritis forum, so I...
Hi kimliz59 Yes, I will keep you posted on my progress. So far, so good. And yes, I think the methotrexate is out of my system now. I have noticed by week's end just before my next Enbrel shot, I...
Thanks! Yes, I just stopped cold turkey. I had suspected that Enbrel was what was helping me more. And sure it enough, it was confirmed when I didn't have an immediate flare-up without the...
I heard that while being prego can put your RA into remission. Did it? Sounds like you're in a good position right now. Hopefully, your next pregnancy gives you some relief and then immediately after...
Big hugs OOOO. There is always hope. :)...
I had those symptoms you mentioned except the burning sensation. Unless you mean, "hot to the touch"??...
oh man, I remember that exact same feeling 6 years ago as if it was just yesterday!! Take the meds as fast as you can because you will see relief!!! You don't even realize how slowly the pain and...
Hi again kimliz59 I'm sorry for the late reply. I am taking Enbrel alone now. I was taking Methotrexate and Enbrel up until a few weeks ago when I discovered that I didn't need to take as much meds...
Hi kimliz59, I'm 42. And I agree. However, I've I just found this board today. I wish I had found it a lot sooner! I did weather the storm early on alone. My RA doc says I'm a success case so I...
Thanks, kimliz59. That made me laugh! "chronic hangnails" haha...
Hi I was in my mid 30's when I was diagnosed with RA. I can relate to what you're saying because I was very active before and suddenly couldn't "keep up" with people my age and younger. It was lonely...
Enbrel and Methotraxate together worked for me fully within 2 weeks. I'm talking fully functional as if I never had the disease. And I could swear I felt immediate improvement- within a few hours of...
