- Hello everyone! I have not commented much lately but I do check in once in awhile. The last 9-10 months of have been a mixed bag of good and bad but I do have some questions for all of you with more experience (unfortunately) in this RA journey we...
- I have always taken my MTX and Humira at the same time and on the same day. The Humira helped with the debilitating fatigue and flu-like feeling that lasted for 36 hours after the MTX. Well, now that I recently started taking Enbrel and it is not...
- After being on Humira, MTX, and Tramadol for 10 months I had to start taking steroid injections (can't take oral). So last month my rheumy decided I need to change biologics. I started Enbrel 10 days ago. It has not been a good 10 days! I missed...
- I have been doing reasonably well for months. Then I had to drive from Rapid City, SD to Rochester, MN to support a patient I had being treated at Mayo. The drive was 10 hours after working a hour day but I faired well. I think the fact that the...
- I actually felt well enough to go out with my husband last night. We went to a local restaurant/bar for dinner and to listen to a local live band we enjoy. We have not done this in ages and it was so nice to get out.Anyway, the place is fairly small...
- I started Humira every two weeks 6 weeks ago and I am on 20 mg injectable weekly. I take folic acid 1200 mcg daily along with fish oil and vitamin d twice a day. I have Tramadol as need which means every night before bed.Here's my problem. The...
- UGH! I take my MTX on Friday mornings. I manage to work a full day on Friday's now but Saturdays are no fun! I sleep at least 12 hours on Friday night and wake up feeling weak, tired, aching all over, shaky and generally cruddy on Saturday. It's...
- I saw my rheummy today. Unfortunately my inflammatory markers are all elevated higher than they were in October before I started treatment. I guess the good news is that I am not crazy with still feeling crappy and in some level of pain everyday....
- Last week was amazing! I had little to no pain and energy that I have not had in over 6 months. I actually worked 41.75 hours at work and cooked dinner every night after work. I spent Saturday running around with my son and Saturday night at my...
- I noticed last night that my ears were hurting so I took some sudafed to help them drain and went to bed. This morning I wake up with a slightly congested cough, stuffy nose and plugged ears. I am not running a fever but I rarely do no matter how...
- I'll start another alphabet game. I'll start with:A: My name is Amanda I live in Alabama And I sell apples.The next person gets the letter B. Names can be male or female.
- I'm sorry I have been pretty quiet the last week or so. I'm feeling very out of control and negative about all of this right now and didn't feel I have much positive to contribute.I told all of you about having to walk with a cane after having a few...
- I thought I was doing so great Friday! I took my MTX injection in the morning like I always do. I had the day off because I was on-call all week. My son and I did some running around and went out to lunch Friday morning. We were out about 3 hours. I...
- I started on MTX on 30 OCT 2013 after being diagnosed with sero-positive RA. I also take folic acid, Aleve, and Tramadol (if needed). I had my first labs on 26 NOV 2013 and my rheumy had me increase my MTX. I went from 10 mg injection weekly, to...
- I know that it common for many of us to have increased pain at night. I was thinking that it was brought on by decreased movement once we get into bed. Now I am doubting this theory. I have found that I can feel achy all over in the evenings but it...
