CINDI/REMICADE & METHO?

[Guest guest]

HI EVERYONE,

I HAVE A QUESTION FOR ANYONE WHO WANTS TO TAKE A SHOT, ALSO HAVING

AND AWFUL DAY. I FELL AGAIN THIS MORNING, THIS TIME IN THE

BATHROOM, THEN WHEN I GOT STARTED AGAIN I BEE-BOPPED MY QUAD CANE

INTO THE BATHTUB. IT WAS ALL MY FAULT, I WAS NOT READY T WALK YET

AND IN TOO MUCH PAIN AND SHOULD HAVE STAYED IN BED A WHILE LONGER

AND MOVED THINGS LITTLE BY LITTLE.

MY QUESTION IS, MY INJECTABLE METHOTREXATE IS DOING NOTHING, I CAN

FEEL THE DECLINE IN MY JOINTS AND MY PAIN LEVEL IS ALWAYS 7-9 EVERY

DAY, BUT WE TALKED ABOUT THIS BEFORE AND MY RHUEMY IS NOT GOING TO

CHANGE MY MEDS. BUT COULD I GO ON METHOTREXATE AND REMICADE AT THE

SAME TIME? MY LEFT KNEE IS ALMOST DESINTERGRATED INTO NOTHING, THE

JOINT SLIPS AROUND LIKE IT'S IN A BIG HOLE, AND WHEN MY RA STARTED

IT WAS THE RIGHT KNEE THAT WAS BAD, AND THE REASON MY DOC ORDERED MY

QUAD CANE. IS REMICADE JUST LIKE METHOTREXATE, AN IMMUNOSUPPRESSIVE?

THANKS FOR THE HELP AND ANY ADVISE, AND YES, I WILL STAY OUT OF AS

MUCH TROUBLE AS I CAN TODAY. STILL PRETTY SHOOK UP.

THANKS SO MUCH EVERYBODY,

CINDI HEIN
