You're such a strong woman! I can't take your pain away but I do give you my emotional support and prayers.  

Awe thanks Ma Ka 71😊💜💚💕 I like sharing my story. And if I can spread some real knowledge about these autoimmune disease and show people that they cannot be cured and share commonalities with others that’s my goal. Spreading the truth to those who have been told it can be cured.  

My mom had RA, her fingers were all twisted and knotted. I hope they can find a better way to deal with the symptoms than pain killers and anti inflammatoires. My dog has arthritis and my vet suggested cartrophen shots. They are very effective for her and I don't know why they are not available for humans. 

fatoldlady, my great grandma died of complications of RA, she was crippled and in a nursing home by 70. It’s awful. Steroids are used to help break flares, but I really don’t like them. The best thing anyone can do is see s doctor ASAP because the sooner your diagnosed and started on DMARDS the outcome is better. These flares damage the joint and synovial tissue. I am sorry your mom had it so bad😔 I take 400 mg of Plaquenil daily. I just started getting some relief last month. So this last flare was really disheartening because I don’t want to take methotrexate.  

Oh no 😥 I’m sorry you have to deal with that 😔 good now that it’s broken and hopefully find some relief 🙏 Autoimmune doesn’t seem fun at all. Currently dealing with a potential autoimmune skin condition that’s (thankfully right now) not painful but annoying. Keeping you in prayers friend! 🤗💕 

Thanks Nekone 💕😘 it’s definitely not fun. Ugh, you too friend? Psoriatic Arthritis? That can get very painful as well. Thinking of you too and prayers to you as well💜💚
