My wife has suffered from RA all her life. Doctors told her when she was a child that she'd never walk or lead a normal life.
She proved them wrong over the years with sheer determination and force of will.
But these days she's been going through a littany of treatments to keep the arthritis away from her organs. From methotrexate to plaquinil infusions...in the next few weeks she starts infusion treatments with remicaid. The cost is staggering - over $4k per infusion and her program starts with several infusions in rapid succession...over $10k to get things underway.
We're hoping the side effects aren't worse than the RA progression.
Baddog - good to hear about Goodgirl's improvements. RA is a brutal disease - one we both live with on a daily basis.
