Working... but only for about 3 weeks at a time. About a week before I'm due for my next infusion, I start to have more pain again.
Working / Worked
I couldn't believe how great I felt just a few days after gettting the iv infusion *BUT* I found out about 15 mins. after I left the doctor office that I am allergic to it. I ended up the in the ER with about 500 hives, blood pressure was 200/160, and I couldn't breath. It really sucked because my joints felt so much better.
