Guest guest Posted August 2, 2003 Report Share Posted August 2, 2003 Hi Lorraine, When were you diagnosed? I was diagnosed in November 1999. A week after that, I started methotrexate. 4 months later, I started Enbrel and 2 months after that I started Remicade (ending Enbrel, but continuing my metho). My rheumy thinks one of the reasons I've had such a great response to Remicade is because I started aggressive treatment early. Take care, in VA~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I've heard of it. An accuantance of mine is a salesperson for the >company that makes it who raved about it. I talked to my RA doc >about it. He also said it was a wonderful drug that was helping a >lot of people with severe RA. He said it wasn't right for me at this >point though. He said giving me Humira would be like trying to swat >a fly with a bazooka. > >Hope that helps, Lorraine Add photos to your messages with MSN 8. Get 2 months FREE*.
