I understand your fears and how you wish that you could live a normal life..... as a sufferer of RA for thirty years (with large amounts of over all body pain) I have to say that I take what meds I must to enable me to live in TODAY and I do not worry about tomorrow.... for tomorrow is not yet promised.
I would rather enjoy the day I have been given and be able to interact with in that day, and if meds will allow me to be out of bed and walking about.... then meds I will take.
Take Care.... Praying for YOU.
LoVe,
