Does anyone have Rheumatoid Arthritis? I went for years having arthritis and the associated pain, taking asprins till my ears would ring. Some days it wasn't any problem and then on others I didn't even want to move. I sorta figured I learn to live with it. I also Have torn the rotator cuff in both shoulders and didn't have the repair done till there was nothing left to repair.
I went to a different Dr. a while back and he said I had rheumatiod arthritis, he said my auto imune system was fighting the arthritis and causing inflamation in the joits and started me on Plaquenil. I would have never believed that it would be that much better in my life. I take 2 pills before bed and most of the inflamation never starts.. If you have arthritis and think you just have to live with it have your Dr do a blood test for rheumatoid factor. It may prove to be a good thing. Later, Nat
