    We had a great time in DC!! I was able to get our Congressman to agree to co-sign. He was an orginal co sponser last year. It was a wonderful Summit again this year. We had a somber moment on our drive down; as I found out my 8 yr old daughter now has JA. Now we just go with the flow.

    As I am headed in next week to get my port inserted for my Remicaide. Then it is back to the grind as we prepare to get our tasks in order for York County's Advisory Board. Can't wait till April when Central PA Chapter heads back to the Hill for another day of meeting with our Lawmakers.
    Good Luck and Gentle Hugs from Red Lion!! Melissa, Alexis and Aubrey Fogle

    Hello thanks for the add!!! I was diagnosed w/ RA 3 yrs ago. I know that it is frustrating that you have to depend on other ppl to help you in everything. I have had my elbow cleaned twice now but it’s just gotten to a point that it’s even gotten worse. Some day’s different parts of my body hurts and its not good thing. I had to cut my hair short because I could not comb it anymore; I had to have someone help me. I have been in Embrel for 1-½ yrs also Naproxen, Prednisone, and Arava. The only one that helps me so far is Naproxen. I just get tired a lot sometimes I have to put hot pads in my knees and my ankles. I wish someone out there could find a cure for this terrible disease. My name is Liza anyone needs or wants to talk add me.
    Thanks!!! J

    Thanks for the add! I am 26 and was diagnosed with severe RA over a year ago and Fibromyalgia over 12 years ago. I am on Methotrexate and Humira once a week. Like almost everyone, I have my good days and my bad days. The Humira has made a big difference in my life. I am still not good by any means, but it makes it easier to tolerate.
    It is nice to see that other people suffer from the same things I have complained much of my life about!

    What do you do when the rhummy you've used for years, the same group of physicans that diagnosed not just me with RA but my then15 year old daughter with fibro, refuses to see you because of an small unpaid insurance balance? A balane I would have been able to pay if given the chance that morning. I was so blind sided, I didn't know what to say or do, nor was i given that chance! My daughter & I drove a hour for 8:45 am appts only to be turned away even when a payment plan had already been agreed upon at the first of 2009. I had just started Enbrel and needed to have a follow up but didn't get seen. After that I will NOT be back to Dr. Robert Goodman's Arthritis & rhemunology clinic in Shreveport, Louisiana. And have already requested mine & my daughters records to be sent to another rhummy in my ppo. I thought with the methotrexlate & Enbel, that I needed continous follow ups. It may be a month or more Before my new doc can see me. What do I do? Stay on this docs prescribed course of treatment, even though I'm not feeling any better or wait to see new doc ? I'm worried , lost, confused, angry & still in alot of pain. Any suggestions, anyone.

    Thanks for the Add. I am 25 years old and have been battling RA for a long time now. I have had a hip and knee replacement in my right leg, both were done 3 years ago. I am currently on Humira (sp?)... I still have my good days and bad days but over all I am doing ok. My knee is the worst of all (the one that is replaced) I feel like its worse than before I had the replacement done... so fustrating. I am a student right now and I have trouble sitting for long periods of time, my lower back gets stiff. But I am thankful to still be walking because I know what its like to be stuck in bed and be at the mercy of others to get out of bed :( So I have been there and I know how you guys feel. Please message me anytime!! Looking forward to hearing from ppl who have been through the same struggles as me.
