Update: Re: is off his meds for now

[Guest guest]

is back on the Kineret, but off the mtx for good. He also is

not taking any NSAIDs for now. One type of enzyme is down, but

another is still elevated. I'm not sure on the specifics because we

haven't gotten the paperwork and my husband talked to the dr while I

was at work.

He gets more bloodwork done next week, then when we go see his rheumy

in Nov.
