Diagnosed with RA about 18 months ago and have been on the biologic merry-go-round since. I just started Orencia and it seems to be helping, fingers crossed. Just frustrated with the 1 step forward and 2 steps back.

I'm sorry. It's really a hard road. You need to have a rheumatologist you trust and take Meds as he or she prescribes. Exercise, meditate and see a therapist. It really helps! Good luck

Thanks, I have a great doc and hoping the meds will work. No therapist but I am on Cymbalta for depression and fibro pain. It is working so far.
