It’s all about the journey

Hello everyone,
I know life can get stressful especially during these difficult times. Despite everything going on we are in the midst of our own journeys while life around us is changing. Today, I was able to go out on a very secluded hiking trail with my pup. While this activity is difficult for me I realize now more than ever it's all about this journey ( our journey with RA). Sometimes we can't see the top of the mountain or the beautiful view, sometimes the up hill struggle sucks, the pain is there but we keep pushing on because it's those moments that allow us to be present. Remind yourself you are on this journey and you are not alone.

Thanks for responding. I was on Enbrel first and it was great for 10 years but I think that along with prednisone gave me my first Cancer. Ii now have had 4! Thyroid, Felty’s Syndrome which is a blood cancer and Kidney Cancer. I’m lucky they caught it early! I was on Rutuxin 8 years and I don’t think it’s helped at all. I’m reading Body on Fire she got herself into remission! I’m definitely trying the fasting.

Hello I wanted to reach out to you because I too have RA! I’ve had it 22 years. How do you like Orencia? Prednisone does suck! RA Sucks most people do not understand! I see you have a new elbow. I have had a new foot and new shoulder and one wrist has been fused!

Hi, Testy thank you for reaching out. I liked Orencia but my Rheumatologist said it wasn't working as well as she would like so I briefly did rituximab infusions. For over a year I have completely changed my eating pattern to mostly whole food plant-based diet and it has helped me so much. It was difficult for a bit but I have felt a lot better and am off all medication for the first time in years. I am not saying its a cure-all at all but I got back some quality of life. I am also open to going back on medications if needed. It inspired me to go back to school and I am finishing up my class to become a nutritionist. I am sorry to hear about your wrist have you found a medication that you prefer over another ?
