Guest guest Posted August 10, 2008 Report Share Posted August 10, 2008 > Hi, I am on at the moment, sulfasalazine,predislone,folic acid,brufen,febridol,amtiptyline(for FM) and my rheuamatologist is trying me on methotrexiate again !!! I had a really bad reaction to methotrixate and plaquenill !!! It was stuffing up my liver !!! Now he wants me to try it again and moniture it closely !!! I too would love to try enbrel, but over here in Australia they eliminate all other medications first before they will put you on it!! It is very expensive here too, but they subsidise it for you if nothing else is working. At the moment I can honestly say I don't think anything is helping me, I am taking soo many tablets and am really getting fed up. I am in so much pain, everywhere and feel like my body is an 90 year old when I am only in my forties!!! Now I am on antibiotics for a bad cough and it is interesting that you said about predisolone (with your heart problem) isn't good. As I too have recently had problems with my heart !!! Hope you are getting some relief form this horrible illness.

Guest guest Posted August 10, 2008 Report Share Posted August 10, 2008 All I take is methotrexate (4 a week), enbrel 50mg (once a week) and hydroco (6 a day). I feel good, no side effects. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 10, 2008 Report Share Posted August 10, 2008 I have been on Humira for 5 years through their Patient Assistance Program. I strongly recommend that you contact the Humira Patient Assistance program to see if you qualify for possible free Humira. I am also on injectable Methotrexate .6 units weekly (units because I use an insulin needle). I have tried to change to Enbrel but I have found there Patient Assistant Program very difficult to deal with. Good luck and gentle hugs, Colleen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 11, 2008 Report Share Posted August 11, 2008 Enbrel, Loperssor, xanax xr,and an occasional tramadol. that's it....and a whole lot of natural supplements. Honestly by looking at the lists of what everyone is taking, no wonder everyone feels horrible. Almost every list has horrbile drug interactions. That is really scary. Some of those interactions could kill people. Additonally, all the multitude of side effects. Yikes!

Guest guest Posted August 11, 2008 Report Share Posted August 11, 2008 Tombstone and Group; You didn't put your name at the end of your email so I used your email name Tomb, Hope that is ok. Hon your not taking as much meds as you think. My husband takes none if you wanted to compare haaaaaaa. I take a lot of meds, I am so glad they are here to take or I would not be alive. I have CHF, COPD, PAH, IBS, RA, OSTEO Diabetes, High blood pressure. I take several pills for each illness. The important part is do they help you. I hope they do. RA is a very paiful disease. My family would prabably freak if they saw all my medicines. I kinda keep them put away haaaaaaaaa. My husband and my mother knows all my meds. Sometimes its a little imbarrassing. I am so glad I am living in this century to be able to have the technology to live with. How is your pain level? RA has so many different effects on us. I hope your feeling ok.

Guest guest Posted August 11, 2008 Report Share Posted August 11, 2008 , I hope all my meds don't kill me either. It may seem like a ton of meds.. hell it IS a ton of meds. BUt you mention that you take " a whole lot of natural supplements " those supplements can be just as dangerous for people as the kind made in the lab. Take a read of the contents on some of the natural medicines. I have to agree life would be grand if no one had to take natural or synthetic meds, but in this world some of us have to have meds to be able to get up in the morning, to be able to do simple tasks at home. To do something as easy as getting off a plane after a long flight. Everyone reacts to medication in a different way. For you to say no " no wonder everyone feels horrible " you haven't walked a mile in anybodys shoes so it would seem best not to condem those of us who need meds, side effects and all. I wish you all the luck in the world and hope that you never have to have these deadly drugs as some of us do.

Guest guest Posted August 11, 2008 Report Share Posted August 11, 2008 and group; I take so many meds. If I don't I wouldn't be alive now. When I first started taking meds I would read all the side effects and warnings. I had to quit. I begin to think I had all the side effects. When I told my doctor how bad a med was one day, he said to me " You will die without these meds! " So, I just take them and hope for the best. Some of them I have to take others to stop the nausea it gives me. I am so glad we have the tech for medicines to help us live a little longer feeling a little better. This is why I don't try vitamins and minerals, Everything you eat and breathe will kill ya lol. My great grandpa lived to be 107. I met him when he was 105. Wow he looked great. He had a small garden. He lived in the hills of W. Va. He lived on all natural foods. Farm life he had. He smoked a cob pipe and he just looked so good. His old fashion little house out of history was spotless. Work hard if we can and live natural haaaaaaaaaa. Not in this day and time. gentle hugs Clora Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 14, 2008 Report Share Posted August 14, 2008 Ah, for those pre-disease days when I had no prescription drugs at all! Not one - I didn't even have tylenol in the cupboard! And I certainly didn't know my pharmacist's first name (Simon)LOL in NZ P.S: my pharmacist said I was one of his best customers - I bet that is true for a lot of us...
