Progression of RA

Went to see my Rheum. today. This is the first time I've seen him in the afternoon, which I think is a good thing. I described my problems, and he had me fill out a little sheet about how difficult things are. After giving me the normal physical look-over, he sat down and said that he thinks my symptoms are getting worse. He is seriously thinking about putting me on Methotrexate.

I guess I was sort of starting to hope I wouldn't get worse, because I am a little stunned. Well, stunned isn't the right word... maybe anxious or numb...

I have to go back for x-rays and bloodwork tomorrow. Then we'll have a better idea.

My 3 hour long MRI is on Friday.
