Guest guest Posted February 28, 2002 Report Share Posted February 28, 2002 Well Ive been reading for a few days and thought it was time I jump into the fray and introduce myself...Penny here, in Portland Oregon, an RA sufferer since I was 17, now 40. I started Remicade a year ago and was just getting some great results when I had to go off of it due to a surgery. After surgery, I had alot of complications, and due to bad blood work, was only able to start back on a couple of months ago. But just one treatment took me from being bed bound to back to work with the help of a walker. Im supplementing with morphine patches and vicodin for pain till it kicks in totally...hopefully another couple of treatments. I still inject methotrexate, but am off plaquenil, the dreaded predisone, and countless others! I just started doing water aerobics 3x a week, and not sure if its helping yet, but it sure is a lot of fun. Well back to work...nice meeting you all.
