Just noticed I've been so busy with the kids I haven't even had time to post!
My RA overall has been under control with Enbrel and thank God it still works. However, My rheumatologist suggested during my last visit that we add on another medication since I complained of neck stiffness but I declined as I know I would be fine if I had taken my Enbrel dose. It's just I'm breast feeding and though my specialist suggested that Erika is old enough to digest the medication and not be affected by it; my gut just tells me the less is better. Of course she and my 3 year old need a mobile healthy mom, so it's a fine balancing act. As for yoga and excersize, I haven't made time to go and regret not taking these steps of self care more seriously.
Jo, Thank you for all the work that you and your blog do for Rheumatoid patients. I'm a chronically ill epatient working on HealClick, a website matching patients with similar conditions so they can share relevant treatments and experiences. I'd love to talk with you about the possibility of working together. Feel free to email me directly at Rachael@HealClick.com.
