Re: Just checking with you all

[Guest guest]

Hi ,

I was wondering how you were doing these days. Sometimes no news is good

news, but sometimes not Let's see. Does this mean you had to go off

the Enbrel? If so, how long did you get to try it for? Did you start off

having some good response to it, and then get the side effects that made

you feel you should stop, or did you get the side effects right away?

Did it help your joint symptoms any? What a bummer. Glad the pharmacist

picked up on the aspirin allergy. The doctor didn't, though? Gee....

I hope the Imuran helps. Are you taking any other meds at this time?

So you've been pretty busy!?! The web site looks really nice. Great job.

And you're still travelling, too. That's good. I'm glad you gave us all

an update, here. Maybe some of the newer list members will go take a

visit at your site, and send some positive feedback. I know it's totally

unrelated to JRA but I have a new page up, too. If you'd like to take a

look at the little birdies I've been raising, you can see their earliest

pictures at:

Let me know what you think, okay?

Take Care,

My grandmother has RA and was prescribed something, not sure what, and the

pharmacist told her if she took that medicine on top of another she was

already on that it could've been lethal. Very scary... I know doctors are

human and make mistakes, but gosh don't they read the charts? lol Also, my

grandmother has been prescribed something in the past that helped, but she

refuses to take it because she says it made her feel " silly " ! lol

I really enjoyed your website! I now have it marked on my favorites for

future reference Take care and best of luck,

Hello Georgina

Yes I am off the Enbrel. It was working pretty good for me also.

This feeling in my head has been going on for a couple of months but

we wanted to make sure it wasn't being causing from my anti-

depressent that I was on. But it wasn't it so the enbrel had to be

stopped. It felt like someone was squezzing my head part of the

time. I wasn't able to drive because of it. And that had but I real

bad thing on my life. Since I depend on myself for pretty much

everything that I do. So I am back on the Imuran again this time

takeing 100mgs Lets hope that it works for me this time. I have

tooken the Imuran before I was on it for close to 7 years. This last

time I was only taking 50mgs of it and it wasn't working. If not I

am sure there will be other options soon. the only thing that I am

on is the Imuran. except for when I take pain meds. I had been on

the enbrel for 5 months. I don't so much blame the doctor for not

picking it up, it's as much my fault as the doctors for not picking

up that the vioxx has the same reaction as asprin. My main concern

was that it wasn't a sulfa drug. Or have the same affect as a sulfa

drug never even thought about asking about the asprin. It's not a

major reaction, it just thins out my blood to much and puts knots in

my arms. Ok well enough on that.

Yes my website does take up alot of my time. Plus I have been

working on a couple of other website. I am trying to get my personal

website back up, but that won't happen this week. Maybe once I get

back from Walla Walla on the 20th. I liked the pictures of your

birds. I use to have a bird like that. it use to say all sorts of

things, until it got out of it's cage while we were out of town and

kinda had a flying problem. It ran into a wall. But that is life.

Well got to go and finish backing as for I am leaving tomorrow for

walla walla. Talk to you all later. Take Care All
