All you can do is support her, she is obviously going through a difficult time. Maybe a touch of denial?? We have all done it, I hope her RA doesn't escalate too badly. At least you have the option of being able to call the hospital at any time.

It is tough being a mom.

I don't blame her either for wanting a break. I think that one of the problems with the meds is the high expectations people have of them (and the spin the docs try to give them). The meds, if suitable, should ease symptoms sufficiently to help one cope better and I was told that their main role is to slow further joint damage. I am currently off my combination of humira and meth due to an infection and yes, I feel so much better without them so I am not looking forward to re-starting. I wish your girl well and I hope her RA stays away. DD

Thanks x i have just emailed a homepathy woman to see whay she says its got to be worth a go i suppose i will keep everything crossed. the rheamy nurse is great she said its something she probably need to do so she can be sure before and if she starts the infusions
SO KEEP AWAY RA OR I WILL GET YOU :evil
