Guest guest Posted December 1, 2004 Report Share Posted December 1, 2004 You're welcome Cindi. I know how you feel. When I was on oral mtx, I also lived in the bathroom. Constant GI pain made life even more miserable. I really wanted the stuff to work, so I stayed on it for 3 months, but the side effects never went away. I didn't have those problems with the injectable mtx. I'm so sorry that you can't tolerate it. I just pray that Enbrel will give you some relief. I hope your next visit to your rheumy goes better and your husband's surgery is successful. a On Wed, 1 Dec 2004 08:56:45 -0800 (PST), Cindi Hein <heinscsf@...> wrote: > > DEAR PAULA, > > THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOU HELP, OH YOU HAVE NO IDEA.

Guest guest Posted December 3, 2004 Report Share Posted December 3, 2004 Dear Cindi: I am sorry to hear you are in so much pain and that your Dr. is not helping you. Have you heard there is a new medicine out for the neuropathy you are having? I don't remember the name but I am sure your DR or maybe another Dr. might be able to put you on it. Also, I have severe pain due to a variety of problems including, RA, OA, Fibro, Osteoporosis, DDD, Spinal Stenosis, 2 car accidents, and a rotator cuff injury on my left arm. My Doctor put me on Duragesic patches. They work very well. Try to find a Doctor who will put you on them. Usually if you have severe pain they will. Good luck. Sincerely, Anjillah Anjillah@...
