New Arthritis Wonder Drug?

Robin Martin was just 29 when she began to have
painful attacks of rheumatoid arthritis. For nearly a
year she ignored the increasing pain and stiffness,
until one morning she couldn't get her
10-month-old daughter out of her car seat.
But when she sought help, Martin found that conventional
drug treatments, which were supposed to reduce the
debilitating swelling, were practically useless.
Over the course of a decade, the disease got
progressively worse. She couldn't sleep for more than an
hour at a time, awakened by the pain from stiffening joints.
Sometimes she couldn't even get out of bed or dress herself.
Today, Martin is taking a new drug that has gotten her
back on her feet and living normally again. "I've been feeling
the best I've felt in years," she says. "I still have some
stiffness, but it's nothing I can't tolerate."
