Re: Hi Tammy.....your questions about enbrel, pain, etc

June 4, 2008

a, I see you are on Arava-don't see it mentioned very often. My meds are

enbrel, and decadron (similar to prednisone) and now he wants me to start Arava

20 mgs as I elected to stop Mtx several months back because of the extreme

fatigue it was causing. Shortly after that was when I started the decadron.

i'm continuing to have increased stiffness and nodules developing everywhere so

the addition of arava. How long have you been on this regime? Any problems?

I'm a little leary of starting a drug that stays in you system as long as the

arava but if it helps that can be a good thing . Input from anyone would be

appreciated. linda

I am on enbrel and taking prednisone 5 mg and arava 10 mg. Darvocet for pain.

I know the combination works well for me.....but I see you're only on enbrel?

Maybe others can fill you in on their enbrel experience and if they take

with a combination or just alone.

I know that you would like to have something for pain. My rheumy has given

me darvocet. Anyone else take anything for pain and how does your rheumy deal

with pain issues?

I know you're seeing a new rheumy soon.

Welcome and hugs..a
