Guest guest Posted December 22, 2008 Report Share Posted December 22, 2008 , welcome back and I hope that you are making every effort to stay warm. I am on Imuran in addition to Remicade. It is kind of a replacement for methotrexate. Per my pulmonologist the Imuran is second choice for lung involvment in connective tissue disorders. I got hit with the lungs last winter. My rheumy has indicated that the Imuran is not as good as MTX for the arthritis symptoms, but that is me. When I have not been able to stay on my drug regimen (infection free) the combo of Imuran and Remicade have worked pretty well. I just had a major set back but the lungs stayed clear. Luckily we caught the lungs early on and that outcome looks good. You take care and be as well as you can. Fuzzy (Tom) > > Dr. Perl called me from upstate Medical today.
