- So I had an appointment with a new Rheumatologist last week. We were off work so it was a good time to get that appointment scheduled. I notes several things that just didn't seem right to me, and I am wondering if any of you have had similar...
- Anyone tried it?I have been on MTX, Sulfasalazine, Plaquenil, and Humira since January. Add in to the Prednisone when things flare, and my doctor has kept me on 5mg until I see her next Friday. On Monday of this last week I started the Paelo diet,...

- Hey guys and gals,I thought I had read somewhere that there is a major difference is the size of the needle that is handed out sometimes from pharmacies, and thatyou could request the smallest guage possible either at the pharmacy or somewhere else....
- I am seeing my Rheumatologist on Thursday. My pdoc prescribed me with Tramadol on my Rhematologist's recommendation. They don't do anything for me other than upset my stomach. I have lived in almost constant pain for the last three months, which I...

- Hi guys, So I took my first 10mg weekly dose of MTC last Friday. All seemed to go ok, although I was a bit worn out on Sunday. On Monday, per my Rheumatologist's instructions, I went and got 2 vaccinations - a Tdap booster and what should have been...
