Sorry to hear you are having such a bad time. My husband has been on MX and, although it was helping, he was still getting a LOT of inflammation so he has just gone on Arava as well. Fingers crossed the combination will do the trick. Thank goodness for the NHS in the UK – only costs us $10 per script for 6 weeks worth of medication.

Sorry to hear about your bad day, but those bad days can make the good days feel even better. I finished up a Prednisone burst two weeks ago, and I was amazed at how much better I felt while taking it, so good luck. And why oh why is RA so affected by the weather?

I’m sorry to hear about your painful day yesterday. I know how it feels now to have a widespread flare. Before July, I only knew pain in my hands and wrists. In August despite having had a Remicade infusion, my flare went to my feet, ankles, knees, elbows and shoulders! I was shocked to feel these new pains. I went last week to my rheumy and he gave me a higher dose of Remicade, and the only aches I feel now are the fingers and wrists. Feel better, dear! xx

I’m sorry about this lastest flare. But I’m glad you are able to contact your rheumatologist and get some treatment as soon as possible. I’ve been on Arava for two years now, and I think it is working really well for me. I live in Cananda and I’m on a disability pension, or otherwise I wouldn’t be able to afford it.

Having a trying day here too. We are having lots of rain which my body doesn’t deal well with. How absolutely wonderful that your rheumatologist gave you his cell number. I hope the prednisone kicks in quickly and you are soon feeling better. Imagine your body healing as you have your physical therapy. I believe it works!
