Now I'm 37, once and a while the plain is flared up but most of the time its not. I got rheumy eye though. <br /><br />There were 4 times, the flare is so bad that I couldn't get up from bed by myself. Most of the time I got shot (cortisol I think) and get voltaren for prescription.<br /><br />I love sport (competitive one) but I don't do sport. But lately I want to do sport. I felt that I miss a lot in my youth due to my RA, that's how I found your blog.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13633259067314159871noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5237161552624338124.post-85261849353221053292013-03-22T12:52:31.523-04:002013-03-22T12:52:31.523-04:00RA runner!

Before that I was doing 5-6 half marathons a year. I want to know how you fared since I just started treatment (methotrexate) and was hoping it would allow me to get back out there and accomplish my sub 1:45.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5237161552624338124.post-9761703012229677722013-02-23T00:56:15.736-05:002013-02-23T00:56:15.736-05:00just figured out how to follow your blog :)just figured out how to follow your blog :)RA RA Runnershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01802172213573237061noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5237161552624338124.post-339380336817430202013-02-23T00:53:48.384-05:002013-02-23T00:53:48.384-05:00Hi my name is Cecele Marie.

It might be good to go on a detox of dairy, wheat, sugar, etc. Then slowly add these things back into your diet slowly and watching for changes. I also have RA and find that gluten is problematic for me.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5237161552624338124.post-6113738881751190132012-10-14T16:41:05.088-04:002012-10-14T16:41:05.088-04:00Enbrel 4 months and counting (my second biologic m...Enbrel 4 months and counting (my second biologic med) and it to is not working for me.<br />I to was under the illusion that these medications would take me right back to where I was before being diagnosed.

It took about 6-8 weeks before I saw any difference and after 6 months it stopped working too. I'm now on Remicade and that is failing to work as well - sigh.... I thought once I was on these drugs I would magically be back to pre diagnosis, unfortunately not in my case. But there are thousands of others who've had wonderful success with them. I wish you all the best Kyle. I hope it works for you!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
