    I think I'm finally ready to face it!

    Primarily thanks to this forum, I've come to the realization that I have spent several years just passively accepting my illness without ever knowing for sure what was causing my suffering.

    Nice to meet you

    I am Chris. I am a mom and grandma and have been battling this craziness for a few years now. Originally I thought I had just psoriasis. Nothing cleared it up. They started me on MTX and it was HORRID! Did it for 10 months, battled weekly nausea and exhaustion. Absolutely horrible side...

    Disability?
