19 going on 20! Diagnosed only in 2007, but not after having joint pains since i was a kid.

DMARDs i've tried include MTX, Hydroxychloroquine, Sulfasalazine, Leflunomide and Etanercept. I'm currently not on any medications as my ALT has shot up by 10 fold, and i'm waiting for the green light to start anything. MTX and SSZ does wonders for me, if not for the recurrent elevated LFTs. Hoping to start Remicade once my flares come again- i've waited too long for this!

I'm currently a nursing student- really looking forward to becoming a registered nurse!!! Exploring the option of being a rheumatology nurse too. :)

I teach children's ballet every Saturday, and while i've stopped dancing(for reasons not due to RA), i look forward to going back to into my leotard, tights and ballet shoes!
