I am slightly overwhelmed with my diagnosis. Previously I had been told I had osteoarthritis but after two months of a knee so painful and swollen I could hardly walk, I now have my RA diagnosis. I have just started steroids this week and feeling the improvement. I am scared for the future and the prospect of methotrexate and being immunocompromised.

I would love to hear other peoples stories.
