Just Me
My name is Rebecca. I was diagnosed 2 years ago. And when it happened, I didn’t know what the heck happened. I woke up one morning with extreme pain all up and down my bones I practically crawled out of bed with every inch of movement I made, I cried. I had an acute flare up. Also with it I have mixed connective tissue disease... Dry eyes, dry mouth (Sicca), Raynaud's Syndrome.
I’m on prednisone, methotrexate, hydroxychloroquine, and folic acid. My Dr. wants to start me on weekly shots within a few months.
