Re: Lissa - MTX, Remicade

[Guest guest]

I was on 20 mg of injectible MTX. I joke with my Dr that my talent is

puking. I just have a horribly queasy stomach. At any rate, this

study is a dosage study, and it will be a weekly injection instead of

an infusion. They want people who are stable on their meds, but don't

really care what the meds are. I'm also lucky becasue my negative RF

wasn't an issue.

I don't think I'll be getting a whole lot of the drug, so I have my

fingers crossed that it helps enough. I need to be able to open the

peanut butter without calling DAve home from work!!!! : )
