Any Moms out there suffering from Arthritis?

[Anonymous]

My son is 2 years old,I am a full time employee plus military spouse whose husband is overseas.
I have a very hard time waking up in the mornings because all my joints ache.
My Rheumatologist put me on plaquenil but it's not working I still ache terribly.
Any other moms in this situation? How do you get motivated to wake up with such pain?

Do you have RA? There are more effective drugs out there for RA, like Enbrel. It's been a life saver for me.

Can anyone reccomend their rheumatologist, preferably close to Alexandria, but willing to travel for someone great?

Plaquenil did nothing for me, but have had good luck with methotrexate.
