Hi happy new year I watch your video on RA a few days ago. I too have been diagnosed weeks ago! I’m scared of treatment and future outcome. Doc says alarm in the fact that my ANA was a strong positive as well. I filled the Methotrexate and folic acid but haven’t taken them. Can you ease my heart with any info or advice from your experience. I am currently taking presidone. Thank you in advance!
Hi Kristal. I'm sorry to hear this. Look, my best advice is to try what the doctors think will work best for your disease. You can always work with them if there are side effects or issues you're not happy with. I was scared when I was first diagnosed too. I didn't know what it would mean for me or what the treatments would do to my body, mind and spirit. The thing that i've learned is that every case is different. I wish you luck. Please check in as often as you need to. I check this account weekly. Pain free hugs to you...
Thank you so much for your response! I appreciate it more than you know! I am still looking into the root cause of this all but I know I don’t want my body doing more damage while I’m trying to find a more holistic/natural way to help me. I am still taking my steroids because one day with out them is so dreadful. But I know they aren’t a preferred drug of long choice either. Special prayers to you and healing hugs to you as well! Keep sending advise and info my way! Wisdom is my deepest prayer right now! Take care, Kristal
