Hi gals. I'm doing a few dietbets too, one with Sandra. I turned 50 this year and was diagnosed when my second child was one so I've had RA for about 12 years now. On max dose of methotrexate, and Humira every other week. Way too many rounds of steroids but mostly for my back/neck issues (herniated disks, ect). Even had 8 nerves burned off in my lower back last year. I'd love to lose 50 lbs this year but optimal would be a total loss of about 60-70. Any weight loss will help with this relentless pain and fatigue.
