              My wife has rhumatoid arthritis - with lupus currently in remission. She's been on a mild form of chemo-therapy to prevent it from spreading to her vital organs.

              It tears my heart out some days to see the constant pain and suffering she goes through. Its a nasty, nasty disease.

                I have Rheumatoid Arthritis as well. Tried methotrexate and it didn't work well for me, so I have been on Arava. How long has she been in remission?

                  Working closely with goodgirl over the past several years has really opened my eyes to what a terrible disease it is. It has given me a lot more respect for what she has been able to accomplish while dealing with it.

                                At least I have a brain, which is more than I can say for you.

                                                  I have RA. Fortunately the methotrexate works pretty well for me, so you wouldn't know I had the disease.

                                                      My aunt has had it since she was 17 and is now 68. She's been in a wheelchair for about 23 years, had almost every major joint replaced, teeth replaced, etc. I have no idea how she's lasted this long and every day is filled with pain. It will start attacking her internal organs next. It's a horrible, horrible disease.

                                                        How long have you been in remission? My sister takes methotrexate and only that for the last 4 years. Then she started swelling and has some damage in her hands from it. They added shots weekly with the methotrexate.

                                                        I didn't find out I had it for sure until last year. I'm still trying to find what works for me.

                                                          My mom had it pretty bad. She past away last year after finding out she had Feltys. But by then she really didn't know what was going on any more.

                                                            I really wish she DIDN'T know what was going on. But she's quite aware. Again, the pain for that long - I can't imagine. She's tried everything. When she had her knees replaced her body rejected the prosthethic knees and she literally had holes in her legs for over a year. She has a full time caretaker and thank goodness, enough money to afford the best of care. I can't imagine what hell she'd be in if she didn't have $$$. I saw a picture of her once after not seeing her for a few years and didn't even recognize her. She was a BEAUTIFUL woman.

                                                              Growing up I would always hear the people in my family talk about how my mom was a BEAUTIFUL woman. She aged fast once she was diagnosed with RA.

                                                              I seen my mother go through that, she never was in a wheel chair, always refused. We had a hard time getting her to use a cane even.

                                                              By the time she was my age..35. She could only open and close her hands. They call it swan hands. Her fingers were like stairs. When she was 40 she had both knee's replaced. At 50 she hand he feet uncurled so she could walk again. She was walking with her toes under her feet. Pretty much walked on her heels.

                                                              She was not at all weathly. Single, alone and lived on foodstamps and under $400 a month. When she was bad she would stay with me or my sisters. She refuse nurses help, and even living in a place where she would be checked on daily. But she always had me and my sisters to check on her.

                                                              When she got Feltys she was pretty much in nursing homes and hospitals. And there is really nothing they can do when you get Feltys.

                                                              I have caught myself not stopping. It is a hard thing to stop trying to do things. Because when you can, you want to do it yourself just because you can. When you can't, you don't want to stop because you know when you do it just will get worse and fast.

                                                              At 68, your Aunt is a pretty strong women and every birthday is a pretty special one.
