Guest guest Posted August 21, 2002 Report Share Posted August 21, 2002 Hi All, Just Joined and was happy to see such an active helpful group. I have lots of nodules with more forming every day. Just wondering if anyone else has these, if so, have you found any way to reduce the size or number of them? My Rheu.MD does not know of any way. I am on Metho.(inj). Bextra, which I have found to be a wonderful help, tetracycline, and vitamins. Doing quite well. Thanks for any input Shirley Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 30, 2002 Report Share Posted August 30, 2002 Hi, Shirley! I too have some nodules from RA. However, Methotrexate can cause the nodes. You might mention this to your RD and see if he wants to change your dose or add Prednisone for a while. I am on 20mg of Prednisone and have noticed mine have gone down quite a bit. In fact, I think one might just about be gone! Wouldnt that be nice?! Otherwise, if its not the MTX, its the RA and there isnt much else to do. But the Prednisone did help mine. Best of luck to you!
