- I have been on Orencia for 6 months, just about in remission. Have felt really good. This last week I have experienced a major headache (migraine), vertigo and extreme flushing. Any one else experience this kind of reaction from Orencia? I am...
- I'm getting ready to travel next week. Because of the hassle of keeping my Orencia refrigerated, I was going to postpone my weekly shot by two days until I return home. Anyone done this? What would be the consequences?Thanks!Kathy
- I'm currently on about 6mg of medrol a day. Noticed in the last week that I get extremely flushed then sweat profusely. I have never sweat this much in my life. This morning I'm 3 pounds down, which I love but that is a lot of water. Also, I get...
- I picked up my new prescription of Medrol and my pharmacist made the comment that the dosage was high. 4mg- 2 in the morning and 1 in the evening. OK- she freaked me out. This med will be a short term thing, maybe 2-3 weeks. Anyone have any...
- Good day~ my doc is switching me from Prednisone to Medrol. I'm experiencing headaches, jitters and insomnia with prednisone. Does anyone have experience with Medrol? Good or bad, it would be nice to hear your feedback. I've been in a major...
- After an evening of playing Wii with friends~ my day is getting off to a very rough start. What was I thinking?I had such great plans for the day. Now I have to sit and wait to "thaw". Perhaps a day of enjoying the sun on the patio instead. We...
- For those that have completed tx with ribavirin and experienced anemia- how long did it take to start getting your strength back??
- I am completing a round of Sovaldi and Ribavin. I'm genotype 2b. Plop plop fizz fizz, oh what a relief it is! I'd like to say that 12 weeks simply flew by, but that is not the case. The road has been tough at times. Anemia and an RA flare...
- I'm on week 11 of Sovaldi/Riba. In the last week joint pain has joined the journey. Extreme pain. First my ankle, then jaw, now hands and wrists. I was diagnosed with RA years ago but 1 week in to tx, I was pain free. I'm not sure what's going...
- Oi! Only 12 days to go. I'm so tired of being tired. I'm on sovaldi/riba. I'm ready to regain my strength and run like Forest Gump! Can't wait.How is everyone else doing today? Sending healing wishes to all.Kathy
- Hi all, I'm at the end of week 7 (sovaldi/riba). I'm 2b, undie, side effects are minimal to none. I've recovered from the anemia so I was a smarty pants and went kayaking today. Long sleeves and SPF 85. What a beautiful day- my energy held up...
- As I expected, I have anemia. Doctor is lowering my dose of ribavirin to 600mg a day. After my numbers improve and I get towards the end of treatment, he'll boost the meds back up. Half way there!!RBC3.5Hemoglobin10.8Hematocrit33.3MCV101.8
- Hi all, I'm on week 5 of sovaldi/rib tx. I'm noticing my heart rate can get high with activity. I just straightened up the garage and got out of breath. I have to sit and regain my composure. Any one else have these sides? Should I be worried? ...
- I was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) at the end of my inteferon/riba tx 12 years ago. Non responder, boo. I experienced many years of extreme joint pain. I was eventually put on Orencia infusions to restore mobility. Now here is the...
- I'm 3 weeks in to a 3 month regiment of ribavirin and the new sovosbuvir. I can't sleep. My insides are all wound up, I can't relax enough to sleep. Any help would be appreciated. I've tried benedryl and sleep aids, not much luck. HCV...
