Been a little while

Well, its been a little while since I posted here.
Since the last post, I've seen a new specialist, who was good. I'm now also on a slightly bigger dose of MTX to see if that helps bring down the inflammation more than it is. Basically, doing what the previous specialist was looking at before we moved out of the area.
Other than that, its been a fairly typical time. You know the one, pain always there, just depends on how much each day.
I did see a comment by someone the other day that I thought made sense. It was the usual debate as to how misleading the name of this disease is, that as soon as someone hears the word arthritis, they have no idea what it means.

Someone suggested it should be called Rheumatoid Autoimmune disease.
As simple as that. And you know what, I agree. It is what we have, it sums it up properly.
I doubt it will happen though. God it's bad enough to get some in the medical profession to understand this disease, let alone rename it! I live in hope though.
