- I have a question or two again please. As I'm newly diagnosed, I'm trying to understand if what I'm going thru is 'normal' or I'm horribly impatient. I'm on plaquenil for a 3month "let's see what it does". I know that it can takes time, up to 6...
- Well, I upped my dosage of prednisone for 2 days to 7.5 and helped a bunch... yesterday the weather was really nice and warmer here in Virginia... so I took just 5mg... today, it is cold/damp/rainy and my hands are horrible! I only have a few pills...
- I Have been on a low dose course of prednisone since 1 Feb again. The rhemy put me on 15 for a week, 10 for a week and 5 for a week... plus on Plaquenil. I know that plaquenil can take a while to kick in. It also took a few days for the 15mg of...
- Well, I went back to the RA yesterday and I'm now on 200mg twice a day of Plaquenil plus 15mg a day of prednisone for a few weeks to help with the horrible swelling in index fingers. I'm going on Tuesday for a chest xray and have an eye appt...
- As I'm very new at this, I have a few questions please. I'm not currently on any meds... just went last week to the RA dr. and she wanted to 'wait and see' for a month as the 7 day treatment of prednisone completely 'fixed' my initial pain/swelling...
- Hey there you wonderful folks! I'm 2+ weeks off warfarin and so happy that all is well ... I think... I have noticed that in the last 2 weeks that I have gained about 6 pounds!!!! Not eating differently in fact more salads as it is HOT as...
- As of today! Hurrah! I went to primary care and said... OK.... 6 months and all is clear... had ultrasound in Mar and was clear then, but knew that she would keep me on. I've had other health issues and been back to hospital for sinus issues......
- Yicks! It is just NOT my year! I have been back to the ER twice, admitted one over the weekend for a pesky, we think, sinus infection! A couple of weeks ago, I started having vertigo and bad headache... didn't go away and my BP went off the...
- I started having some strange problems a week or so ago and went to my PC (actually her partner as she was on vaca) with what I thought was a prolapsed bladder. She did say that there was a small prolapse, but took a urine sample to rule out...
- Does anybody here know if it is safe to use espon salts in a warm bath while on warfarin? I have a really bad back (broken twice) and would love to take a soak as my chiropractor can't adjust me ... broke 6 ribs 8 months ago... not my year! I...
- Hmmmmm.... went to the clinic this morning after 2+ weeks out with a good reading last time ... 2.4... today 1.6?? She took it twice (a new person today), still 1.6. She added another 5mg just today. I'm not going to stress like last time when it...
- Oh dear! I had another 4 hours in the ER today due to, I guess, anxiety! Not sure why, I have been just fine for 2 months and then BP and pulse WAY high! Also had a bit of discomfort in my clot leg... having my INR low last time didn't help I'm...
- Hello folks! I haven't been posting lately, although been reading here as I have been doing OK. Broken ankle healing nicely and no more air brace. I can do a small amount of exercise on it. My INR levels have been really good for the last 5...
- Question please.. as I really don't want to stress much over this, BUT......The last few days I've had a slight 'tightness' in my chest area and a slightly elevated pulse. I'm normally in the mid 60's as I had been exercising everyday until the PE...
- On top of everything else, I have apparently either chipped a tooth or lost part of a filling! I'm one month on Monday from hospital release and the start of my 6 months on coumadin. I know to tell my dentist about my drugs, but does anybody know...
