I am on 3000 mg sulfasalazine and 15 mg prednisone per day. I still have pain usually but with no health insurance - bio's aren't an option for me at this point. I am self employed and unfortunately I don't qualify for state assistance . I was just diagnosed recently so I don't know what my future is going to look like now. I do not want to go on a narcotic for pain because I'm terrified of those damn pills. Everyone I know that gets on them- never gets off unless they die from a weakened heart muscle or went into pulmonary arrest. I don't know what else to do about this disease ? I'm already at the point of just giving up !! I'm not boo-hoo ing, or feeling sorry for myself - I just don't foresee a normal future. Please tell me it gets better.
