    Hello, it's nice to meet you but I am sorry you have had to find us. I don't have RA (mine's another kind) but I do take the meds that are used to treat it and have done since 2002: I have had very little trouble with any of them. Spelling is not important, OK? We will know what you mean.

    I have had to take medication since I was 12 (I am now 59) so the thought of taking new meds doesn't bother me at all but, if you are new to all this, it must be unsettling. Feel free to ask any questions, more people look in on the Living with Arthritis board so you may find some of the threads on there of interest. I wish you well. DD

    Hello Kare47 and welcome from me too.

    I also have RA and have had it for a loooooong time :D I take methotrexate and hydroxychloroquine and they work very well for me.

    Try not to worry about potential side-effects. I was reading only yesterday that many people are put off taking loads of medicines because they are scared by the leaflets. You have to remember that the people experiencing all the bad side-effects are probably those taking lots of different medications for lots of different conditions. The leaflets don't mention that :roll:

    I hope all goes well for you.
    If at first you don't succeed, then skydiving definitely isn't for you.

    Welcome to the forum Kare47, I am new today.

    I never read the leaflets unless I have a particular query.
    I refused a medication last year due to reading about it online..
