RA sufferers.
Does anyone else out there suffer from Rheumatoid Arthritis.
If so, at what age were you diagnosed, and how did you know.
What do I have to look forward too.
I haven't been diagnosed yet, but it runs in the family and I have all the classic symptoms. I am only 18.
If you are on any of the new medications, what kind of benefits do they provide. What are you on, and how much better do you feel after taking them. Thanks for any info. I have read the articles and stuff but I want to know what real life is like for these victims.

My sister and my uncle have it for sure.
I have the same pain patterns but haven't been diagnosed for now. I use Celebrex. When it works, it can be a wonder drug. I was temporarily pulled off due to high blood pressure, and the pain returned. I went back on it, and I am still waiting for it to "kick in." Meanwhile, I have constant joint pain, no matter whether I am standing, sitting, laying down. I have to use a cane sometimes...
