Guest guest Posted August 12, 2008 Report Share Posted August 12, 2008 Just got back from my rheumy. I'm in the middle of a week on Lyrica to see if that helps. He said to stay on the Gabapentin if there is not a significant improvement on the Lyrica. I went off of MTX in June due to some possible lung problems. Today, he said to stay off of the MTX and now I get to try Arava. How is everyone's experience with Arava? I did forget to ask him about the possible impact on blood pressure. I remember reading that some have experienced higher BP. That is not good for me, as mine runs just a bit high. I also have to get off the prednisone. I can stay on 10mg for a month, then go to 7.5 for a month and then 5mg until i see him again in 3 months. Despite being on the prednisone, my tests show there is still inflammation, but that is probably due to the fact that I haven't been taking MTX all summer and only the plaquinil. Hope you all have a good day! Tammy _________________________________________________________________ Get more from your digital life.
