My story

In 2002 I started having pain in my shoulder and ankles, so bad I could not stand and walk after sleeping all night. I have a family history of RA and OA my father had both, so when I went to the DR. she referred right away to a specialist for RA sure enough I was diagnosed with RA. Since then I have been and failed on many medications and biologics.
