Treatments

Arava Working / Worked

Been on it for over 2 years but have just been taken off. Did it work ? dosage 30mg + m/x (5mg) the 2 drugs worked for & R/A was in remission, but white cell count went dangerously down, so was immediately taken off both & RA returned with a vengeance

Folic Acid Working / Worked

Nil side effects only taken when on Mx

Pain Management Clinic Working / Worked

Been on low dose (5mg) on/off for past 5 years. Had low white cell count 2 months ago & was taken off together with Arava.

Prednisone Working / Worked

Yuk stuff was on it for 9months lost all my muscle tone & affected my teeth did it work - probably treatment should have been for a shorter time,Started on 15mg & weaned off it gradually
