I am on this medication for Rheumatoid Arthritis, and it sure helps but I have swelling because of the medication. What can I do to stop the swelling and contunue taking the medication? I drink lots of water and I still swell.

I’m 22 years old and was recently diagnosed with secondary Sjogren’s syndrome with Rheumatoid Arthritis. Is anyone else out there like this? I’ve had symptoms for nearly a decade, and have not started official medication yet. I’m finding it so hard to exercise as fatigue drains every bit of energy I have. Is it normal to have excessive fatigue with RA? It’s been really hard for me to cope with this, seeing as how its so rare for someone my age, and I’m just looking for some support.
Any words of advice are greatly appreciated!

I would appreciate any input from all of you with RA and on this or any other arthritis medication.
Side effects especially, I get at least half of the side effects for any meds so I am concerned that my Rheumatologist wants me to start this one.
Thank you one and all for your medication experiences and any help you can give me on coping.
I had been on Maximum Strength Excedrin and Ibuprofen every four hours for a couple of years. Of course now have concerns of liver problems.
I have changed over to Hydrocodone as needed in the last 6 months.
I have had some success with Prenisone
(it repaired my knees) but the pain just moves to new joints.
I take massive A to Z vitamins and that helped the brain fog enormously.
Boy it is NOT fun!!
