New to the group, struggling with RA

Hi, new to the group. I've had RA for 11 years. This year is tough. I'm waiting to start new meds and am discovering pain, nodules. I'm afraid I won't be able to work.

Can you help? connect today

Hi Daisy. One of the hardest things to hear is that we are unable to work. My name is Bev and I haven't been able to work since 2014

Hi Daisy. I was forced to retire after being an RN for over 30 years. I have retired in Feb 2021. It has been easier to manage my pain, but had to adjust to decreased income.

I moved to an area of the country where I could find work. Unfortunately by the time I got there I couldn't work. The pain in my fingers, knees and back I couldn't move any part of my body!! I, too had nodules on both elbows and feet. Within 5 months (after trial and error with different meds) I was able to work again. The nodules eventually went away after about a year. I just started Humira injections in March and continuing MTX. I am finally at 95 percent!! Be patient, give it time...it will get better with the right doc. You are a warrior!!! Hang in there and you will defeat it. Best of luck. You are not alone.
