- What day of the week is your bad day and why?Mine is Thursday. Today.Because my enbrel injection Wednesday night isn't kicked in yet, and my arava 100mg dose Saturday's has worn off by Thursday. Friday is bad, but enbrel is kicking in some by then....
- Anyone see nightly news with Brian Williams? Ahhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!Seriously?!?!Viagra, juviderm, cialis, Humira, nexium, a local hospital, and I'm sure I missed some since I missed out the first 8 minutes.....wait wait, here's another....Wait for it,...
- Do you find your meds wear off toward the end of the 7 days (or 2 weeks for Humira users)? My arava was wearing off by Friday, I take it only once on Saturday, and it takes til Sunday for it to kick in. I started enbrel, and took my fourth shot,...
- I started, two weeks ago, to have double the hair fall out from Arava. Lets just say it's bad, a little scary.I am on Arava (reduced flare pain, but continued flares on it), added Plaquenil (stopped flares, but still above normal pain), still on...
- We all know labs aren't the end all to be all. That said I got my latest blood draw figures. Again very low sed rate and c reactive protein as usual. Never been high at all since this started, but I am on a lot of meds and prednisone still.First...
- My mom and mother in law are loving, kind, and wonderful. I'm not complaining about them, but their perception is so off and I find it frustrating. When I speak of my ra, I get them telling me their problems, comparing, and saying it's just...
- Ok guys. I have, chronically for the past 15 years, slipped discs. Finally got to a doc last year for nonstop pain for an Mri. and it's a bulge in l3, l4, and l5. L3 is compromising the spinal nerves, the others bulges weren't at the time, but l 3...
- I take Plaquenil daily. I take prednisone daily. I take arava on Saturday ONLY. I feel crappy Fri and Sat, then arava kicks in Sunday, Monday and Tuesday are ok. Wed Thursday going down to crappy, Friday Saturday bad.Get the pic? Arava helps sun...
- Starting my injections sat. Had a patient education appt tomorrow, but being a 2 hr round trip drive, storms forecasted, and mom having a 40 min drive to my home to babysit, I called and asked for permission to read the instructions and just do it...
- You know, that ever pesky ex boyfriend or girlfriend. The one that was all awesomesauce, awesomeness, bff sweet heart that you didn't mind stickin around forever. The one that, after a little while, started to get on your nerves. They start to nag,...
- Just saw ms pugpen on here and thought I'd ask you all and her. How high a chance truly is the cancer risk on biologics? I'm starting enbrel in 10 days. I read she's battled numerous skin cancers and maybe something else? Not sure. You know, I want...
- Long story short, I was told to go from 10mg prednisone, to 5mg when I informed the rheumatologist I wanted to wean. I know it should be down to 7.5, but it is what it is and I want OFF the %##$ drug!So I did well Friday and so far this morning,...
- I see people as mild, moderate, or severe. Is there a diagnosing chart the arthritis association puts out, or some way to determine what your disease is? It can't be on numbers alone, right? Is it based on, hey 10 yrs later you're either twisted and...
- I cross my legs a lot during the day as I sit. Left over right. Right where the cross over happens, on the outside of the upper left calf, I've been experienceing deep achy pain. Fairly tender to put pressure on, like a deep bruise. It hurts now all...
- When I injured my wrist right before diagnosis, Mri showed tenosynovitis which is a hallmark RA issue, amongst other issues atop of the tfcc tear I have.Woke Friday with a real problem, need opinions. I *think I have flexor carpi ulnaris tendonitis...
