- Since my last visit to the board. Back in the summer I had six lymph nodes removed from the side effect of taking Humara. Came through that OK and was doing fine for a few months. In Sept my wife and I thought since I was feeling pretty good, we...
- It's been awhile since I've posted...sorry about that. Just that I've had a rough summer and starting off with a rough winter. Major flares at least 3-4 days a week, a couple of surgeries thrown in and you can see why I haven't felt like posting. ...
- A week in 108 degree weather did wonders for me for the first three days, then all hell broke loose. Major flare hit Thursday morning and wasn't worth a crap the rest of the day. Did manage to go to pool and get in the warm water whiich did seem...
- Nothing seems to work....I just started Humira and know that it will take time so I won't complain about that but good grief, I take Naproxen, Vicodin, Lorazepam, Steroids and still have major flares at least two-three times a week. They are so...
- After being on Enbrel for 9 weeks my doctor pulled me off because it was doing absolutely nothing and put my on Humira. I'm going through the red tape and just got word I'm approved for 1 year. Now waiting on my co-pay card and I'm set to go. How...
- Five and a half hours in emergency room at Christ Hospital Tuesday. They wanted to put me in an Assistant Living place for a week or so for therapy. I don't think the ER Doctor understood you have to get the inflammation under control before I could...
- Hello everyone...it's been along time since I last posted. If you'll remember I was going to go this alone and ditch all my meds and just live on Aleve. Well, I'm back to eat crow.... I can't do this alone. I've been on Enbrell for 6 weeks and...
- If I gave the impression in a couple of my post on threads that I was suggesting anyone else toss their meds and try it the way I have done with just taking Aleve. Just this morning, I can tell it's not going to work long term for me. I'm so sore...
- I have this terrible fear of pain pills and getting addictive to them. Always have and always will. Since right now, none of my RA meds are working, I'm on Plaguenil and Arava and was told it could take months to see any results, I was given first...
- Winter time and RA is not a good mix, as far as I can tell. It's been getting really cold in the Ohio Valley and going to get really cold in the next several days...temps in the single digits. It's early morning and here I am posting on a...
- I've been hit with a really bad flare the last several days, got so bad, I had to break down and call PCP and get something until I see RA doctor on the 10th of Jan. She gave me Vicodin and a Steroid pack to get the swelling down and the vicodin so...
- Some of you are probably on Facebook already. I'm a huge fan of it and it has been a blessing in more ways than one since I've been on there. I'm wondering if anyone would like it if I made an RA Group page and invited members here to post there? ...
- I wish I could take credit for this but I can't....Don't know where I got it but found it in my folders while looking for something....Pretty much sums up the way I feel...I have no set of journals... gold-edged, and leather-bound...with a locking...
- Since most of us are always talking about our dealings with RA, I thought I'd do something different to try and bring some smiles and put us in the Christmas mood. Here is some of my photography that I do as a hobby. I made all these treats last...
- A month or so ago my doctor pulled me off MTX and two other meds and gave me a script for plaquenil. I wanted to research the drug first before starting on it and I didn't like what I found since I have eye issues already (macular degeneration )...
