Guest guest Posted October 25, 2002 Report Share Posted October 25, 2002 Hey, , Thanks for all the articles you sent for me to read. I just got home from water aerobics, so now it's naptime... then I'll jump in and do some reading. I guess the doctor is afraid I'll get hooked on Vicodin?? It does help, somewhat, to lessen the pain in my joints, but he's wanting me to wean off of it... I just had my 3rd Remicade infusion yesterday, so hopefully soon there will be some positive results with it, and I won't have as much need for relief from pain :-) take care!
