Rheumatoid arthritis

[feddoc]

Anyone here have it?

If so, what can I expect...besides stiffness, pain, fatigue.

My doc just gave me the good news. I suppose it beats Lupus, like he once thought.

Hay feddoc...

The wife has been dealing with this fer years.
They've had her on most the drugs- except the newer ones that have come out within the last year or so-
She actually gives herself a shot every 3 or 4 days, the drug is called Embril, it is a true miricle drug for her.
It makes life "normal" again!
She hadta get perty bad before they'd ok the embril. Mucho $$$

Don't let 'em give ya gold shots!!

Hang in there!
