Guest guest Posted July 24, 2006 Report Share Posted July 24, 2006 I am new to the board so I will briefly go throught somethings about me. I am 68 years old and have had COPD for 5 years and on oxygen 24 hours a day. I was diagnosed with RA September of last year. At that time I weighted 124 pounds. My Arthritis doctor started me on IMURAN. Oh man ir did wonders.. By the end of the first month I had no mare pain or imflimation at all. DOING GREAT. Until Novenmeber I began to have throw up and have diarreh and I could not even keep water on my stomache. It got so bad that I was seeing people in my bedroom floating on the ceiling at night. After 4 weeks I went to the doctor and discovered that I was highly allergiv to the medication. I had lost down to 96 pounds. She then started me on Planquinel and wanterd me to take Humira both at the same time. I decided to take just the pill and forget the shot for awhile. OK Week before last I started doing the same thing. Throwing up. cannot keep water on my stomache and I called the doctor and she said to stay on the pills but the start the shots. Is there anyone that is having as much trouble with the medication as I am??? I am thinking about not taking any medication at all. It is really effecting my COPD and my Pulmono says me to quit all of the chemicals because it is not good for my breathinbg. What will happend to me if I take no medication at all??? Please help me if you can. Thanks so much. in Texas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
