- Anyone taking MTX should take a look at this site. The recall was just issued on July 13th. http://www.fda.gov/Safety/Recalls/ucm311971.htm
- Hi, all. I haven't wrote since my 5 day hospital spell with pneumonia at the end of April. I wrote from my hospital bed and I couldn't find my original post. I know someone gave me a much needed laugh. Anywho, I was taking the generic Arava and had...
- Hi, all. I know it's been a while since I last wrote. Well, after 2 remicade infusions and switching to "non-generic" arava i ended up with pnuemonia.I never experienced this type of illness so I dealt with the extreme shortness of breath until I...
- the bejesus out of me. I read through the moderator's blogs (Kelly Young) and it seems she does a lot of internet research and copies it to her page. She often chimes in with her own remarks. I also learned that nothing has worked for her and she is...
- And untreated. I've been seeing my current hairdresser for about 2 years. When I first met her she told me the story of her RA starting shortly after having twins 11 years ago-she's now 52. (At the time I had no idea I had or would get RA). She...
- I took my first Remicade infusion Thursday of last week and it seemed to work immediately. My ankles haven't hurt for the first time since my diagnosis. Also, my knees and hands have stopped hurting. I ran several errands yesterday (all day) and...
- Good morning, all. I saw my new rheumy last week and I took my first remicade infusion Thursday. All is well so far and I finally feel relief in my ankles. This is the second day of almost no morning stiffness and not limping to the restroom. I pray...
- As some of you know I switched my rheumy to whom turned out to be the Chief rheumy of that office. I saw her Thursday and she agreed the Humira wasn't working any longer and that my ra factor has steadily risen over the last few months. She said I...
- Good morning, all. I hate to vent this early in the morning but I need support. To the women-I started my period Saturday and went into a huge flare that night. I didn't leave the house yesterday because everything hurt so bad. Then I tossed and...
- Hi everyone. It's been a while since I've logged on and it's been a doozy for me lately. First off, I take my Humira injection on Tuesday and seems to wear off by Sunday. I was having a really ruff time last week so my rheumy had me up my dosage of...
- Hi, and Happy New Year to all of you. I've been gone for a minute moving to a new home etc. However, I've been on a nonstop run since maybe Thanksgiving and I think I'm paying for it. I just read a post regarding foot pain and I can so relate. My...
- Why did I skip my predinisone dosage yesterday and woke up with the biggest headache ever. I've been on 10mgs since November and recently tapered to 7.5 but unsuccessful at 5. So yesterday I decided to miss it since I took my Humira shot. Boy did I...
- When I started leumofide(arava) back in October it started working within weeks. The pain in my ankles and hands subsided and I felt I was on my way to a medical remission. However, when I refilled it two weeks ago I noticed I started feeling worse....
- I woke up this morning in the biggest flare in my old surgery ankle. I could hardly walk yet I went to the grocery store to buy dog food and other stuff. I started to jump on the scooter thing but I tuffed it out. By the time I finished shopping and...
- When I was first dx May 2011 I was suffering big time. I had ankle anthroscopic surgery which sent me into (now I know) a constant flare from May until August. I couldn't walk, dress myself, cook, etc. I moved back home with my parents so my Mom...
