Jan in MI

[Guest guest]

Hi Jan,

This is in VA. Humira is an injectable biologic that can be taken for both RA and MS. My aunt takes it b/c she has both illnesses and it's worked well so far.

By the way, where in MI do you live? I might be in Detroit for a conference September 3-5. If you're nearby maybe we could get together. Email me personally if you like.Take care,

Hi everyone. I don't really post much but I do read what everyone has to >say. I have posted before stating that I was blessed with not only RA but >also with MS. I was doing very well on methotrexate, azulfadine, plaquinel, >and relafen until they put me on a medication for the MS. It's an >interferon injection called Rebif. It has interferred with the RA meds and >I am now back where I started from. Pain so bad I could hardly move. I >couldn't get up and down very well. I would say I have a severe case of RA. > My rhematologist gave me prednisone and it seems to be helping. This is >the 3rd time in 9 months that I have had to go on prednisone. My question >is does anyone know how long you can stay on prednisone and what bad side >effects does it have? Also, does anyone else here have RA and MS. A woman >wrote and told me before that her husband had both and was going to the >neuro but I haven't heard from her. Thanks for listening. >Jan in MI Add photos to your e-mail with MSN 8.

Hi Jan, I live in Culpeper, VA and work in Warrenton, VA (in the next county). I'm 2 hours north of Richmond and about 1.5 hours west of DC (depending on traffic). It's really beautiful here.

Take care,

Steph in VA
