Re: There is hope at the end of the tunnel

[Guest guest]

Ellie and group;

Yes I get flare up and chronic pain, however; since I been on humira

injections,,,, I feel like a new person the pain has all but gone

completely... I am also on plaquenil and sulfazaline... I was very

frightened also with what I was going through....

Our group here has made me feel so good inside with their informative

information and their kind and careing post... I hope you find the

sollance that I have here.. God bless and take care. I am praying for

you to have pain free days.

The prednisone should be helping unless she/he has put you on a very

low dose... I took prednisone while waiting for the humirra to come in

from my delivery pharmacy and the insurance company to ok the humira

injections and it helped a lot... I took 10 mgs for 15 days than it

was loverd to 5 mg for 15 days and than 2 1/2 mg for 10 days... It

helped real good for me.

gentle hugs
