Does Anyone Deal With Emotional Instability Due To Meds?

Feel like an emotional roller coaster especially day or 2 after methotrexate. I just started infusions but still also taking hydroxy chloroquine, sulfazine, Meloxicam. Just so much and I feel like I'm losing myself in the emotional fight! Ugh!! I mentioned to my doc and she said that is not side effects of meds?! Anyone else deal with this?

Epstein Barr Virus And RA

Has anyone heard the theory that Epstein Barr Virus may be to blame for RA? I had Mono as a teen and then a reactivation in my 20s.

I want to know if Methotrexate is helping any of you. Does it relieve your inflammation to ease your pain? Just on Methotrexate alone, not with another Med.
Thank you so much.

Shooting Debilitating Knee Pain

My areas of struggle were always my feet and hands but now I’m getting a sharp shooting pain in my knee and it can come on anytime at rest, walking, standing. It is like 10/10 pain. It is now waking me up while I’m sleeping. Then it will go away and then come right back or come back in an hour or whenever. My doctor is away but he texted saying RA doesn’t present itself like that (on and off inconsistent pain). I was wondering if you have expirenced this with your RA? I can’t imagine this being… read more
