Hello everyone!
My name is Tracy and I am 28 years old. I was diagnosed with Rheumatoid Arthritis almost 4 years ago after my daughter was born. My condition worsened and I was put on a cocktail of drugs. I have been on Methotrexate for almost a year now.
I visited my rheumatologist today and was told I don't have RA and it is looking more and more likey that I have Lupus.
I have heard of the disease before but never really knew what it was. So I googled it and was directed to this site which has given me a great insight.
I have got to stay on all my old medication but I have been given sme new meds to start today. I can't remember what they are called, Hydro something I think.
I will go back to the rheumy in 3 months and we'll take it from there I suppose.
I'm not sure how I fel at the moment. It took me quite a while to come to terms with the fact I had RA, now i've been told I haven't i'm a bit muddled.
Anyway.... Sorry for rambling on and on. I thought I would introduce myself.
I look forward to getting to know you all and learning more about this condition.
