I am wondering along with a if you are taking all those drugs at

once, . Sorry to hear about the IBD and that your RA is worse

lately.

Please let us know what you hear on Monday.

Re: [ ] hey remember me

Hi . I don¹t think I¹ve every heard of anyone taking 4 DMARD¹s at

one

time! I don¹t take mtx and arava but have heard of people using the

combination. I know there have been concerns about liver toxicity with

this

combination, so close monitoring is done. According to studies, this

combination is well tolerated:

Sorry about the inflammatory bowel diagnosis. I hope the prednisone

helps

quickly.

I will keep you in my prayers that your biopsy will be negative.

Hi ...I used to take Arava with Mtx, but haven't for quite awhile.

How are you feeling, kiddo? I hope whatever the dx may be, that your

doctor's get you on a swift road to recovery. I miss seeing you around

here.

Much Love....

Mark your positive attitude and caring were

in the first post I read in this group.

My son graduates from high school later this

month.So in that respect we are in the same boat.

Post plans are under construction.

Our hope and prayers are with the entire family.

God Bless
