    it started with my hands, so bad I could hardly use them, at all. it was really bad, I was so clumsy. then the meds helped that, then last Sept. it started in my knees, to where I could hardly walk, the dr told me that I will need to have them"scraped out" with the next year or two and within 5 years I will need replacemnets! THAT scares me! I can walk okay now, but at times it gets bad, kind of off and on, right now it is almost normal but there are times when I feel like I'm ready for a cane or wheelchair!
    tylenol 3 helps sometimes.

    what meds is your co-worker on, if you know..?

    I am on methotrexate, after a while my body stopped absorbing the pills, they weren't helping anymore, so now I have to take a shot once a week I hate that!
    it can be upsetting sometimes, when I have trouble walking.
