Hi Sharon Welcome to the forum, the second 'home' of all these lovely folk who all have at least one thing in common ... RA! We still smile and enjoy the community spirit despite our moans and aches and pains  I'm Lyn, married to Mike, we have four children aged between 15 and 22, including twins. I have had RA for almost 22 years and am currently on Enbrel, MTX, Prednisolone, Naproxen and 5 other bits and pieces (iron, folic acid etc!!). Are you currently receiving treatment for your worsening problems? Do hope so! Look forward to chatting with you soon, Lyn x PS You can if you wish post a reply by pressing the pink 'post reply' button, bottom right; you may not always want to quote someone!

Hello Lyn Hope you feeling ok today. Thanx for replying nice to have someone to talk to who understands what we are all goin through. I am taking methrotrexate, steroid, leflulnomide, folic acid. I am having problems walking really bad now, just got up couple weeks ago and that was it!! Nurse gave me injection in it last week and that's not worked either but there you go. they offered me ANTI TNF strongly advising I have it but I had hysterectomy 2 years ago because of massive cysts on my ovaries, they said at the time they were boarder line so I am very reluctant to have it I don't know what to do but I don't know how long I can keep myself sane. I am so glad I joined NRAS it's lovely to get up on morn and read messages. XX Sharon-D
