Newbie here, Diagnosed with RA 2 years ago, luckily it's not too aggressive and developing slowly, currently on plaquenil and Metho (+the usual painkillers lol) and feeling much less pain since starting the mtx but ups and downs. Living in Brussels, working full time and single mum of a two year old toddler, there's been a lot of reevaluating of priorities with this condition!
I look forward to chatting with you all

Morning toony, it's nice to meet you and to hear that you are generally coping with it all. Hopefully the meth will slow the progress of the RA, I think that is what it is meant to do! I have PA (like RA but with the added bonus of skin trouble) and am also on meth, (injected) with a few other bits and pieces too. I hope you find the forum a good place to be: we understand the problems, the ups and the downs and we do our best to help and support. LWA is the place for all the medical/treatments/hints/help etc, the other forums are self-explanatory. I hope you have better weather in Brussels than I have here in the East of England - it's dark and raining! I wish you well. DDHave you got the despatches? No, I always walk like this. Eddie Braben0

Hello Toony and welcome from me too!
I am glad that the meds seem to be helping your RA but I can imagine that being mum to an active toddler is quite a challenge with RA!
You will be made most welcome here on the forum and I know that there are others out there who are juggling children, work and RA (not literally ) so you will be in good company.
Love Tilly xxx0
