Guest guest Posted February 28, 2008 Report Share Posted February 28, 2008 That is great. I hope it works for you. I am doing the injectable MTX and she just increased it from 3cc to 4cc. It seems to be helping a lot more than the pills did. I kept getting infections when on Enbrel and Humira.

TODAY Hi everyone, I just got in from my appointment with my rheumatologist. I told him I stopped taking the MTX 2 weeks ago because I felt it wasn't working and making me sick. He started telling me about Humira, Enbrel etc. and another one that is along the same lines as MTX. I asked about Minocyline and he seemed a little surprised but he was very willing to try it and said that he had other patients on it. He said to keep taking the Meloxicam. Hopefully, I don't have side effects. That's the news for today. Hope everyone is well. diane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
