I seemed to have given you people the wrong impression about myself. I sold my home 2 years ago to move in with them to take care of my 3 grandchildren and do household and laundry chores while my son-in-law and daughter work outside the home. I was diagnosed last year with cancer of the eye, diabetes mellitus, rheumatoid arthritis, and COPD to name just a few of my health problems. However, I am still caring for the children and doing my daily chores. I have applied for disability but it has not been settled yet. I have no money at this time as I helped them get into this new house with the money I had when I sold my own home. So please understand I am not a freeloader by any means. I just used the term our house because I live here. It really is not my house. Some of the answers below have been pretty mean-spirited and not very helpful. Get rid of all your sarcasim and pointing the finger at me and just answer my question. I really need some good advice right now.
I have RA and have been treated in the past with Remicade–got very sick and was in the hospital and was told not to take it again. I was just told that the Rheumatologist wants me to take Enbrel. I am afraid that I might end up with plural effusion again if I do. Have any of you had any information about that? Enbrel and Remicade are in the same drug class. I would appreciate any websites, or informatio so that I can make an informed decision. Go ahead and e-mail me at either ynda301@sbcglobal.net or ahdrmd@msn.com . I would appreciate any help that you can give me.Thank-You
Wanting to know if anyone is on a TNF Blocker? And is it working? Were you scare to start it with all info on them kind of drugs.
I am currently unsatisfied with my treatment. I am taking hydroxychloriquine & asulfasalizine [spelling is most definately wrong]. I was hopeful when I saw an ad for Orencia, however it is not yet covered under my health plan. I am looking for suggestions for treatments that have worked for other RA sufferers.

There are a number of misconceptions about arthritis. There are several myths about this disease and people need to know the truth. People need facts and valid information. One of the misconceptions is that this disease only affects old people. This is not true because it can affect anyone regardless of age. It can affect children, young adults as well as middle aged people.
There are over 100 types of this disease. Some rheumatic conditions are more commonly found in particular groups of people. Rheumatoid, fibromyalgia and lupus affect both men and women while gout and ankylosing spondylitis are more common in men than in women. Psoriatic seems to affect both men and women equally while osteoarthritis seems to affect older people.
This medical term arthritis refers to the feeling of stiffness and pain as time passes by in a person’s body and joints. Sometimes their joints are hard to move, and they find it difficult to stand, stretch, walk or climb, due to the stiffness in their hands, knees and hips. These people are the victims of arthritis.
Joints as we all know are the places where two joints meet. These joints refer to either your elbow or knew. A person suffers from arthritis when there is terrible swelling and pain in these joints. Other kinds of arthritis maybe the pain problems that one may face in other organs of a person like the eyes or chest. Surprisingly arthritis could affect a person’s skin too.
