- Have any of you had this lab test?How do you and your Rheumatologist feel about this test?I just received the results of my 2nd test and in 18 months I went froma low moderate disease activity (31) to a high moderate (43) disease activity. I have...
- I have had 8 glorious months of "remission." I made it through tons of big weather changes that traditionally brought on flare after flare. My meds (mtx) were lowered, life was smooth again. (well as smooth as it can get with RA) Then out of the...
- I have been down with the "real deal" flu which has progressed to pneumonia, for over 2 weeks. I am on my second round of big time antibiotics with not much success. I am headed back to our family dr. in a few hours. I have been on mtx (.6)...
- What is the standard dosage for plaquenil? My rheumy started me on two 200MG tablets a day.
- Do you need to go off of MTX for a period of time before you can be given a Shingles Vaccine? If so, for how long?
- Just wondering if any of you have Fibro "piggy backed" on top of your RA. My Rheumy of one year has now confirmed I have FM as well. I am taking Flexeril for the pain and it really seems to be helping BUT I have also experienced big time weight...
- Which seems to cause you the most pain and inflammation?
- Hopefully this makes more sense......... I have been on MTX (6) since Sept. 2011. I started feeling almost normal from Dec. 10 - 30. I was so happy. I thought that the MTX alone would take care of me but I guess it was just my Christmas miracle....
- Just keeping this post alive. Lets all voice our opinion about the Doctors segment on RA. Just a little Christmas present for our RA cause. Here is the link and lets all help educate others. I think they need an entire show on...
- Wow!!!!! An other blow to RA. Did anyone else see the Doctors program this morning? My sister just called me to watch it and I was truly mad about it. Especially since my sister has absolutely no clue about how debilitating RA is. The Drs...
- So, I have been off Prednisone for almost 3 weeks now. My Rheumy has me on a 6 mtx injection (I have been on mtx for 3 months ) He has upped my Folic Acid to 5 mg a day because of hair loss. My stiffness seems to be getting progressively worse...
- I started Prednisone (15 mg) on Sept 1310 mgs - Sept 27 - Oct 207.5 mgs through Oct 31and I have been tapering( 7.5, 5, 2.5 to 2.5 every other day to nothing) since then. I seemed to be doing well until this weekend when I had a very unwanted...
- Realizing that this has been covered before, I still have questions about the subject. My hair started falling out May - August 2011. Then it literally stopped falling out from Sept - Oct. I was so encouraged! Then all of a sudden it is...
- I believe that I have another compression fracture in my spine. The Dr. told me about prednisone and bone loss but didn't think it would be an issue. Hmmmm My last dexi-scan was 2.86 which calls for "Agressive action" I had a reclast infusion...
- I suppose this is just a general question that I have been wondering about for quite some time now. (well maybe more than 1 question :)Do you still have break through pain, whether it be weather related, stress, diet, fatigue, etc., when you are...
