Hello not posted on here since August when I was first diagnosed ,I was in a lot of pain and scared .but I've been on 200mg hydroxchloroquine and 15mg Mtx injections ,had the pills first but was very sick ,no side effects at all from injections .but the good things are No swelling ,No really bad stiffness and no pain at all since August .only having a few problems with my ankles ,I have gone from not being able to wear heels to having to wear them ! I can't wear flats anymore .i am seeing podiatrist and insoles next week .
I just wanted to say that we mostly post about the bad side of RA ,we never post when things are going well . Well I'm doing well and most days I've forgot I've even got it ! X

I think or hope I should say ,I was diagnosed and put on meds within 6 months of first symptom and flare ( I was very pushy with the doctor ) . So I'm thinking that's why I'm doing well now . Fingers crossed it stays like that for some time x
That's brilliant news, thank you for sharing that. It's so nice when we hear someone's doing well. I hope it lasts a good long time, next goal remission! I'm so pleased for you.
