Hug
I'm new here, but just thought you could use a hug. I hope everything works out for you.
Hug
A BIGGGGGGGGGG HUG from the other side of the world

Hug
I am happy to note you are feeling better. Enbrel didn't work well for me and I was moved to Humeria with the methotrexate. I also take hydros and flexeril along with Lyrica as fibromyalgia is common with Ra. Have you been evaluated for Fibromyalgia? Take care and hope you stay feeling better.
I’m With You
Great idea, good luck!! :)
Hug
hope you are feeling better. Maybe if you found some information in the ARTHRITIS Magazine about new things the Dr. will listen. I do know that all types of injections, infusions are different in what and how they attack this terrible thing within our bodies, only after discussing this with my Rheumy did I find out why he went with Remicade for me verus the others, I do take my information in and discuss it with him, he doesnt act frustrated or upset, he actually explains things. Good luck
