I live in South Africa in a city/town approximately in the middle of the country...
I was diagnosed with SLE & Raynauds & RA in 1998. Needless to say, I ws under the care of a specialist physician(not a RA specialist though)and received cortisone and methotextrate treatment since 1998 until last year April when I weaned myself off because to me it felt as if I was slowly but surely dying......
I hope we can learn from each other and I would like to give advice which I obtained through many trials and tribulations after 4 back surgeries, 1 knee replacement and 1 neck operation....to mention a few.....
I cannot sit this long so will be writing again tomorrow! Ciao!!!
