Donating YT 30K Club Member | Please keep my daughter in your prayers. My 25 year old daughter has a form of rheumatoid arthritis and has been having a terrible flare up. She can barely walk and can not drive as her knees are so swollen. She is on the maximum dose of her current medicine and it hasn't done a thing. We are taking her tomorrow to my husband's internest for a complete check up and seeing if he can refer us to a different rheumatologist. I would appreciate any prayers and positive thoughts for her. It breaks my heart to see her so disabled and in pain. Thanks

| Sending good thoughts and prayers to you and your daughter. My friend has RA and has had success with Enbrel. She does have flare ups when she is under stress. An in law also had RA so bad that she was in a wheelchair but she is taking methotrexate (I don't know if that's spelled right) and she is doing very well now and back to work. I hope the doctors can find a medication that will help your daughter. |

| Sending good thoughts for your daughter Patti. I will keep her in my prayers. I am so sorry she is going through this. It must be so tough on you. We as moms would take everything upon us rather than them in a second if we could. Stay strong. She is lucky to have such a supportive and loving mom. I sure that is a big help. |

| Patti, I am so very sorry your daughter is in such a bad way. Sending out prayers for her. I was going to ask if she'd tried methotrexate (sp?). I was told that it was a good long term med for RA. Also have she tried Relafin? I am not sure of the spellng of this either but I know that when I took it for a flare up arthitis it was like a miracle. My problem was it upset my stomach too badly. Worth asking the doctors about. Best of luck. Bo

Donating YT 30K Club Member | Thanks everyone. Jessica is on Methotrexate and Mobic. They started her on 2 pills once a week and she is up to 8 pills once a week which is the maximum. Her doctor said she would be adding an injectable if the 8 didn't help. She has had no improvement at all she is actually getting worse. I have heard that Embrel is really good an hope this or one of the other injectables will help her. She moved out 2 months ago to an apt and she is on the second floor and couldn't get up the stairs tonight or drive so we brought her home. I had to wash her hair for her also. I feel so bad she should be out having fun on a Friday night. Also, her employer will not give her time off so we have to try and squeeze in her monthly visits on her lunch hour and we are always in a rush for herto get back. Her boss saw her barely able to walk to day and said to her walking kind of gimpy today aren't you. I thought that was so mean. She needs her job and insurance so she is afraid to ask for time off. It is a small office and she has no sick days and gets i week of vacation next month after being their 14 months. Sorry I am rambling but I am so stressed. Thanks again for the prayers. Bo I will ask the doctor about the Relafin. Thanks

| Patti, I'm so sorry your daughter is going through this terrible time. I can't believe the way some busniess treat their help. I thought the slave shops were a thing of the past. I guess they probably don't have "any" Christmas spirit either. I will keep her and all of you in my thoughts and prayers. God Bless her and you.
