Guest guest Posted March 25, 2006 Report Share Posted March 25, 2006 Question for y'all... I was just dx'd 6 or so weeks ago, have been on Arava and Pred (plus NSAIDS, pain meds, sleeping pills, et al) since then. The Arava has definitely helped, but minimally. The fatique's better (that being a relative term), the fever's mostly gone, some of the joints are better but some are the same or worse. I know it takes about two months for the Arava to work but I think I should feel better by now. In general I still feel like crap, can't do hardly anything I could do just a few months ago, my work is suffering tremendously, constant pain, etc. I go in to see my rh in a couple of weeks and I'm wondering what the next step might be. From reading all your posts it sure sounds like Enbrel is a good thing to add. Is that a biologic? And is that usually the next option? Or would he be more likely to switch to MTX to see if that works better first? I know no one can predict what might happen, but if any of you can tell me how your med progression went, that would help... Thx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
