I'm pretty new here still. Been on methotrexate and hydrochloroquinine since early March, and they are working very well for my joint inflammation and pain. I have developed very sore quadruceps though! Owww! I've seen a physiotherapist, and she said my glutes, hips, and quads are all very tight and somewhat atrophied...I guess that's what happens when one lies around doing pretty much nothing for six months due to pain. I'm doing my physio exercises faithfully, but the quads are just not improving. They hurt all the time. I'm starting to wonder if this is part of the arthritis? Can RA affect muscles? I'd appreciate hearing from anyone who might have the same sort of thing happening.

I WAS going to start planting my garden, but I think I'll wait another week. It will be cold, raining/snowing most of the weekend where I am. In previous years I've gone camping the May long weekend...and if I had planned to do that this year, I would definitely be cancelling. I'm a wuss that way. How about y'all? Anyone else changing their plans? Or maybe you're muscling through? Share your plans!

Can anyone recommend a hair stylist who will help style a wig? Th
