Guest guest Posted August 9, 2008 Report Share Posted August 9, 2008 How long have you been with this Rheumy? Is he taking blood tests? The reason my rheumy took me off that and sulfasalazine was because, along with my symptoms, the blood tests were not showing a lot of improvement. Have you told your rheumy how you feel? Though, sometimes I think you have to be blunt with the Dr.! I had not been showing improvements for months, yet my doc. kept me on the same drugs, then when notice the blood results each month, then give me a painful shot in my hip-joint! OUCH!!! Finally, the last visit, it was the same thing and I said, " I am getting scared everytime I see you! I don't want another one of those shots! " He told me the only reason he kept me on the drugs and giving me shots was because the drug I need, Enbrel, was so expensive. I told him we need to try it. Maybe you should just tell him, " Doc, this isn't working!! " Of course, maybe you have!
