I know exactly what it is to live with Rheumatoid Arthritis. I have had it since 2006, officially. I had symptoms since 2001. My life is so complicated, and nothing like I dreamed for myself and my family. My disease has progressed to a very bad place. My hands have nodules on the knuckles with swelling and pain. I have been on biological medications throughout these years, however, I react to these medications which make life very painful. I stopped taking my last medication (Orencia) because I got mouth sores, I am still getting RA nodules in my hands, memory and concentration issues. I am having trouble holding down a job, but not sick enough to qualify for disability. I am afraid of where this disease is going to go!
