HELP!!!!!!!!!

[Guest guest]

Hi all,

I havent posted for a while but i am in need of help and/or advise!

I have had RA for almost a year now, my rheumy has tried me on the

standard treatments, MTX and Prednisone, and now Enbrel. I have taken

a months worth of the ENbrel and find that i get a sore throat

everytime for two or three day after each injection. The MTX has made

my liver enzymes elevate, so my dr has decreased the amount. Trouble

is, I cant afford (even with my insurance coverage)a long term

committment with the expensive drugs and the MTX alone is not doing

the job. I though i might explore some of the homeopathic remedies,

Do any of you have any suggestions or advise to give. Quite frankly,

so far none of the treatments i have taken has given me back the

physical abilities i had before RA !!! and nothing so far keeps the

flare ups away. Am I expecting too much. I am lucky so far in that I

have not had much joint damage. But I do not want to wait until there

is. HELP!!!!!!!!!! i need advise.

Thanks so much
