Treatments

Celebrex Working / Worked

Celebrex worked ok, but after it was taken off the market in a few countries, due to chances of heartfailure, I switched to Naproxen (There's a history of heart disease in my family).

Folic Acid Working / Worked

On the whole I think it works, sometimes I do don't feel any difference when taking it, sometimes it feels as if I need to take it.

Humira Working / Worked

If felt that Humira worked well for me, unfortunately my rheumotologst disagreed. I was not making enough progress, even though I felt better, I was taken off it (it's a cost issue in the Netherlands).

Methotrexate Working / Worked

My old nemesis. I was put on MTX when I was diagnosed with RA 5 years ago, I experienced nausea and a foggy head. I switched to injections and kept with it for a year until the side effects came back. I started taking it again about two years ago, I have learned to deal and eliminate the nausea, taking paracetamol helps, but I find it hard to focus 24 hours after taking it.

Naproxen Working / Worked

Does it job but makes me a tad foggy..

Azulfidine Not Working

AAAAAGHHHHH!!!!

Protonix Working / Worked

I take this with Naproxen t prevent heartburn. Works well.
