- It's been a long time since I've been here. I've been doing ok, but recently things have gotten strange and I'm a little concerned. If you've experienced this or have a clue, I'd love to hear about it...I'm thinking I probably need to see an...
- Well alto, you were right. It would seem the injection to my right shoulder has worn off exactly 2 wks later...and the shoulder, right wrist and right thumb with a knuckle or two on the right are flaring now!It didn't cause a flare receiving the...
- I had an injection into my right shoulder last Tuesday. Sleeping that night was quite painful, but the next day I felt pretty good. Well now, the shot helped not only my right shoulder, but my left shoulder and my swollen horrible right foot.So my...
- Woke this morning with my left leg tingling (paresthesia) from back of knee, down calf, to bottom of foot to tip of toes. If I flex my foot, it becomes worse. I have a disc in the l3-l5 range that's bulged out some and not totally slipped.Could...
- Hi! To the old, I've been gone a while, and to new....Been here quite a while ago but....As we all know (if we experienced *some* relief from ra), we seem to disappear when ra is no longer consuming every aspect of our lives every second of every...
- This all started a yr ago after an injury to my wrist. Well I finally saw a surgeon, and it hasn't healed. I have been med free since may, and the rheumatologist is putting me back on Plaquenil. She said I can take it now, but the surgeon said wait...
- I am. Maybe your tests have been borderline. Maybe doctor after doctor told you it isn't RA because your inflammatory markers are low, your vectra score was in "remission" numbers. Well, I saw my awesome rheumatologist yesterday, and I told her I...
- My in laws are visiting. I was telling my mom in law about going off all meds. She AGAIN recommended osteobiflex. It worked great on my feet and back she stated.I said, isn't it for cartilage problems (hint hint, RA is NOT cartilage problems).Her...
- So I was sitting on the couch, and while shifting my hip sent out a deep zapping horrific pain. It was like it was stuck and needed to pop (we all have experienced that I'm sure), but this time the pain was intense. I immediately shifted out of the...
- So I have a couple threads out there detailing my hair situation. I went to the rheumatologist today to discuss the fact enbrel is causing me to loose massive amounts of hair (she's reporting this to the manufacturer btw).So my vectra while on...
- If you've ever quit a tnf a inhibitor like Enbrel or Humira, how long was it before you noticed a difference? I'm curious as to how fast the pain will come back, as well as how fast the hair loss will stop. I read appx 70-130 hr half life on enbrel,...
- I'm done with enbrel! I didn't brush my hair for several days and gently pulled it back. Brushed yesterday to a massive wad full of hair, and washed it this morning to the same. It's half, HALF the thickness it was. I have literal white bald spots...
- My hair has fallen out significantly, so much so I can see scalp in some areas. I take enbrel, Plaquenil, and was on arava. Because of severely unpleasant side effects and then the hair thing, my rheumy said to stop arava, which I did two and a half...
- My wbc have dipped to below the range, as have rbc, h/h...which I assume means I'm now anemic. My wbc count is what's troubling. At the time of blood draw I was on enbrel, 50mg sub q once a week, arava 100mg once a week, and Plaquenil 400mg a day....
- I, as of yesterday, have developed a hard painful lump. It is not visually there, but you can feel it under the skin. Flip your hand over, look at your palm. Now look at your ring finger. There's a crease at the top by the dip joint, a crease middle...
