I have had RA since 1987. It is severe enough that so far I have had 13 complete joint replacements. As most of you know, the pain is horrible and I take Norco for pain. It's irritating when people want to tell me not to take that, because of addiction. Umm, they have no idea the pain RA is for us with it. I take my meds AS PRESCRIBED.

There are some days that I actually look forward to death. I'm sure a lot of you can relate.
