She proved them wrong over the years with sheer determination and force of will.
But these days she's been going through a littany of treatments to keep the arthritis away from her organs. From methotrexate to plaquinil infusions...in the next few weeks she starts infusion treatments with remicaid. The cost is staggering - over $4k per infusion and her program starts with several infusions in rapid succession...over $10k to get things underway.
We're hoping the side effects aren't worse than the RA progression.
Baddog - good to hear about Goodgirl's improvements. RA is a brutal disease - one we both live with on a daily basis.

Please do yourself a favor and get a vitamin deficiency test done, she has nothing to lose and everything to gain. goodgirl has had so many fucked up drugs put in her system and the side effects of what your wife is about to endure are pretty bad; especially when it could be something as simple as a vitamin deficiency.
