Guest guest Posted May 2, 2004 Report Share Posted May 2, 2004 *****--- My mom has a huge fear of doctors and meds and her untreated RA is a scary sight to me. Hello everyone, I feel I had to respond to this topic as I've been letting my RA go untreated for over a year because like your mom, I am so terrified of taking meds.. and the past month, I had to give in and accept the fact that if I don't take the meds, I'm going to end up in a wheelchair or bedridden. I was getting to the point where I couldn't hardly walk..My body hurt all over, especially the lower half...and my hands. I'm on plaqueni 200mgs 2 x a day and I feel like it's working..I also take naproxen 500mg 2 x a day, and 1 tylenol 3 to get me out of bed in the morning and another tylenol 3 when I go to bed at night..And I take Norflex for severe joint pain...Norflex is very expensive, so I keep them for emergencies.. bless you all patsy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
