When I was diagnosed with JRA, I was hoping I could get it to go away with healthy diet and excercise. Dropped my BMI  from 24 to 20, did everything my doctor tells me too, but my hands and knees are still killing even with humira.  Terrified to touch methotrexate, I don't want to lose my hair.  It's been 3 years, doubt it will get better soon.
