Guest guest Posted October 9, 2002 Report Share Posted October 9, 2002 I spoke to Deb yesterday too, and she told me the same thing she told Carol. She did sound awful! I agree on the live plant and would love to chip in! I thought about sending her flowers myself, but since I'm still on house arrest (LOL) from my own surgery, the paychecks aren't coming in yet. Let me know where to send the money! Jeanine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 17, 2003 Report Share Posted March 17, 2003 Hi Deb, I saw that you have Crohn's disease. Have you tried Remicade? It was originally approved for Crohn's but now is also approved for arthritis. I have been on it for almost 3 years and it works really well for me. (it's the only med I don't have side effects from). Take care, in VA ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ >Hi > >I have been on Methotrexate for a few years now & have no side effects form it. >I was having tablet form at first but because I have Crohn's Disease as well it was not working. >After a few months I was put on injections & I have been good. >I do not say that this is the one for you but I would make it the last resort in medications. >It can have some very bad side effects in the liver area. It can cause Focal Nodule Hypoplasia. >"I think that is how you spell it". Basically it is tumours & enlargement of the liver. >I know this from a friend I met at the specialist's room's who has it from the Methotrexate. >She is only 27 >I am also on Prednisone & Placquenil but have been having to see an eye specialist every >6 months as Placquenil can cause Glaucoma. My right eye has the start of Glaucoma & that >only started 3 years after starting the tablets. > >Stay well all. >Deb.
