I like Bobs approach to meds being take the darn things and have some quality of life left.
I had a sister that had bad RA and took pain medication. She ended up addicted and it scars me to even start. Do u work IF so are you able to function on the meds. I did call the rheumo today and I'm waiting for a call back I need to tell them I can't take this anymore. No more being passive and smiling when I see him.
Thanks
