Guest guest Posted September 12, 2008 Report Share Posted September 12, 2008 Thanks to all who sent such thoughtful messages and your prayers as well. After going back to the rheum. today, a little less swollen, but still in pain. The prednisone IV helped very minimally. The leg ulcer has held its own thank God! He called it a risky decision, but he had me go back to the humira. Yes I had respiratory issues, but he said the orencia would take so long to see results 4-8 mos. Yikes! So we'll try and I'll pray that doing this with the ulcer doesn't turn into a huge regret. He wouldn't touch my hands he said he had to need to feel for swelling when they looked like they did. he could feel the swelling in the left side of my jaw (may be my new diet...cause it hurts to open my mouth!!) He felt it in the elbows, but I don't feel it there. Pray for me and keep fingers crossed this is the right decision. Hugs, Beth in MD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
