It seems that the sulfasalazine tablets may be starting to work as I've worn my engagement ring all day today! Only a small thing but it hasn't even gone on my finger for the past year as my fingers have been so swollen. Even the steroids didn't reduce the swelling and I was starting to think it was permanent! Just need it to go down completely so I can wear my weddding ring too. I know it's only a little thing but we've got to celebrate these small steps of success!

    I am pleased for you, these things are important for our morale and self-esteem. I haven't worn my original engagement and wedding ring for years but the former is (as of today) being enlarged by three sizes and rhodium-plated so it matches my other white-gold and I can wear it again. I remember reading on here a number of posts from distressed ladies who had to have their rings cut off and was determined that would not happen to me. DD

    Thank you. Good news is a rare but very welcome commodity on here.

    I'm very happy for you and I hope the improvement continues.
