Hi, Red. Diet is important, but not exclusive. Some people cannot do
nightshades (tomatoes, etc.) while others have no problem with them. Some
can't do citrus but others can. So you can see it's pretty individualized.
Have you seen a rheumatologist? That's crucial as they are the ones with the
specialized training for us. I have been on plaquenil, arthrotec, prednisone
and methotrexate for several years now. The side effects for me was the pill
form of methotrexate (MTX). It made me so sick I couldn't keep it or
anything else down. So now I'm on the injectible MTX once a week. Much
better for me.

It all comes down to the regime you and your rheumatologist (RD) come up
with. Remember that this is your body and that you need to be a proactive,
not just reactive patient. Educate yourself as much as possible. There are
several good sites on the web that will teach you all you ever wanted to
know about RA and all the little fun stuff that goes with it. Just remember
that millions live fairly full lives while battling this disease. Life is
not over, just readjusted.

Hope that helps. Welcome to our little sandbox. Come and play and tell us a
little about yourself. We're nosey here.
