Guest guest Posted February 28, 2008 Report Share Posted February 28, 2008 Hi pennie... I am on 10 mg of arava. It seems to help along with the enbrel and prednisone 5 mg. I used to take 20 mg a day but had lots of stomach upset so my rheumy cut it in half. I do have some hair loss. My hair was very baby fine anyway so this isn't helping much. I was hoping I would stop but I always find lots of strands on my hairbrush. Not everyone has the same effects. Hugs..a ************** Ideas to please picky eaters. Watch video on AOL Living.

Guest guest Posted February 28, 2008 Report Share Posted February 28, 2008 thanks a. I seem to have a cast iron stomach, and hair so thick that I would appreciate the loss (as long as it was all over and didn't come out in patches). I am on 400mg of Plaquenil as well, and will take some prednisone if I can't cope waitng for the Arava to kick in. I really appreciate eveyone's emails, it just helps to set my mind at ease. I am sooo pleased to be of the methotrexate, I didn't realise what a negative impact it was having on my whole life until I stopped it. Take care Pennie [ ] Arava... Hi pennie...
