Or know someone who does?
I’m a 17 year old girl and I’m currently using Enbrel to treat Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis.
I don’t have many concerns about the drug, but my main concern which I can’t seem to find the answer to anywhere is:-
Has the drug affected your fertility/ability to conceive/have a successful pregnancy and birth?

I’ve been taking 20mg of oxycontin PRN for nearly one year. I’ve been finding lately that I’ve been needing a higher dose to manage my RA pain. I’m curious about other RA sufferers experience with this drug or other pain meds. I am fully aware of the addictive qualities of the drug.

My doc said I have Rheumatoid arthritis. I had all the symptoms. Couldn’t get out of bed in the morning. My feet, knees. back, arms, and hands all hurt very bad. I could barely get around. I never went to a rheumatologist because I dont have insurance. He put me on Prednisone and it was a miracle drug. I quit takin it once and symptoms returned in 4 days. This time I quit it to see if my symptoms came back and its been almost 2 week and I have no symptoms. So could I be in remission without meds or what?

5 years ago I was diagnosed with advanced rheumatoid arthritis. At the time I was under the care of a total quack !!! He treated me strictly with 3 medicines only.
1). high doses of steroids
2). vicodin
3). asprin
Yup , after a year of suffering thinking he knew his stuff I ended up in the emergency room unable to walk any more and huge lumpy nodules growing near all my joint. It looked like I had 3 elbows on one arm at one point. I was only 43 at the time and I felt like the elephant man. Everyday that passed I looked more and more misshapen and my ability to care for myself became an agonizing feat. I still remember crawling to the bath room unable to walk from the chronic pain I endured. Then one day the emergency room doctor referred me to an arthritis specialist. The specialist immediately put me on monthly infusions of a drug called ( ORENCIA )….I can walk again !!! I can even sit here and type at my key board with all my fingers !!! No more steroids and no more useless vicodin. So, do you know some one who has been diagnosed with ( RH ) ? Please tell them there is a miricle drug in use right this moment and it is fully covered under Meicare and Medi-cal coverage plans. I was a bed ridden body with bent / frozen in place / locked up joints. Now I can type and walk again. I can even hold my grandchild.
