Guest guest Posted July 10, 2004 Report Share Posted July 10, 2004 After my last Rheumy yelled at me at the last visit I had with her in April, I found a new one. She was unhappy with my gastro dr., wanted me to go from Humira to Remicade because of the RA and Collagenous Colitis. The Gastro told me it wouldn't make any difference, Remicade helps Crohns, not what I have. I think it was a good move. He agreed with my Gastro and said I have very fast erosive RA which is out of control. The old Rheumy was also treating a thyroid and para thyroid condition. This Dr. has sent me to an Endo to be evaluated, another good move, I think. He prescribed Methotrexate injectable, .25 mg .4 cc twice weekly. He said I could inject it, OR I could mix it in orange juice and drink it. Has anyone heard of that before? He said the injectable is much cheaper that the oral and it could be taken orally or injected. I'm to continue on the Humira every other week and return in 5 weeks. If I haven't had any side effects he'll raise the dosage of the Methotrexate. Welcome to all the newbee's!! I don't post often, but this group is truly my support!! Becky, I too loved your picture!
