Suzanne - Welcome! You will find an abundance of support, hope, and encouragement here. Please post more and tell us about yourself, what you're taking, how you are doing. You won't ever meet a better support network for RA than the friends on this board. Looking forward to seeing more posts from you. Pam

Welcome to the forum. You can click on my name to read something about me, and I also have some information in my "signature" space. If you want to share something with us you can add to your profile using the link near the top of the page, and I think it is Forum Settings that lets you add or edit a signature. I hope to hear from you often. God bless.


Age 84, diagnosed RA 12/2001, married since 1952, 4 sons no daughters, 4 grandsons 1 granddaughter. Doing well on Methotrexate and Remicade.

Welcome Suzanne!

We're glad to have you on the forum. Post again and tell us more about yourself. After 15 years, are you on a biologic? Many of us are just starting these new wonder drugs and are having varying reactions. We'd all like to hear from a "seasoned pro."

Hugs,
Gramma Ellie


In remission since April 2011. Hoping it will last!

Welcome Suzanne!

Glad you are here! Although I have had symptoms for a few years, I was just diagnosed almost a year ago. So 15 yrs of experience will be helpful to those of us just starting out! Glad you are here. This is a great group of understanding people who become like family!

Thankyou to those of you who responded to my hello.
I hope to have more time in the near future to post more on my profile and I so appreciate the thought of having people to talk to who understand what we go through with ra.
