Hi Lucy. I'm Grandpavan1927, 75 years old with RA since December 2001. I'm on 15 mg Methotrexate, Remicade at 6 mg/kg, Folic Acid, Furosemide, Potassium, vitamins and calcium. I'm now pretty well controlled and recently was able to quit Prednisone. With your mix of medications I'm surprised that deformity is progressing (unless maybe it is due to Osteoarthritis). Perhaps an increase in some of the medications is in order. Good luck and God bless.
