Hi all, Thanks for your replys and sorry for the delay in replying[computer probs]. Well since i last spoke to you all i have been diagnosed with anaemia so now im really tired[ha ha] I have been on the mtx now for 6 weeks,touch wood, the severe pain in my knees and shoulders have gone, only early days i know ,could return next week. I am already on hydroc-quine, steroids and mobic so it should be doing something, i rattle when i walk anyway. I noticed that quite a few of you were rheumatoid factor neg and because of this diagnosis was delayed, well i have always been rheumatoid factor positive, so it just goes to show. Well, speak to you all soon, take care, Jill

Hello Jill,

My name is Anne 50 years old and I was diagnosed in May this year, I found this site almost immediately and the lovely people on here really helped me through the early days. I was prescribed MTX 20mg weekly and it kicked in really quickly about 5/6 weeks, I can honestly say that at the moment after a year of painful hands then spreading around my body I feel that RA is a distant memory. I am well aware that it could start again at any time but I am enjoying my life again. Wishing you a speedy response to the drug.

Anne x

Hi Jill and welcome to the forum.

My name is Agnes and I am 40 years old and was diagnosed with RA in March this year. Like you I am RF positive and anti-CCP positive as well. I have also just been diagnosed with anaemia and I have just started taking ferrous sulphate tablets to help combat it. I am currently taking MTX, etanercept, prednisolone and folic acid for the RA. The drug regime seemed to work really well for me almost straight away but then after 4 weeks I started to get some pain in my ankles and I also started to feel really tired all the time. I am not sure if the tiredness is down to RA, MTX, anaemia or my under active thyroid. Take your pick. Like you I think I rattle when I walk but I am slowly getting used to taking all these drugs.

Bye for now

A x
