Guest guest Posted November 11, 2008 Report Share Posted November 11, 2008 Hello all, As some may recall, I have been diagnosed with undifferentiated connective tissue disease... (wow thats a mouth full) For me that means I have symptoms of several connective tissue diseases with out enough proof in my blood work to actually name any of them... My main symptoms seem to be that of RA with small mixtures of some others.... I have been taking Enbrel for the last nine months,as well as methlytrexate and planquinile Anyway, I am finding it extremely difficult to type (thats why I haven't been on lately) and even harder for me to hold a pen for longer then one to two sentences. Unfortunately I'm a paper pusher and I must type 5-6 page summaries on a daily basis as well as take notes during interviews (no computer available for the interview).. I had a doctors appointment today where I explained my increased discomfort, and he suggested having me drink the liquid methlytrexate in Orange juice (instead of pills and increasing the dose) and also begin taking Retoxin through infusion. Ahhh! Another new drug, I'm just scared to death of what I'm doing to my body that all I seem to want to do is cry... Please, has anyone been put on Retoxin, or know of anyone on it... Did everything go alright... The only thing I can think of on the positive side, is that I will no longer have to take weekly injections... I really hate needles! Oh, and also that it may help me more... but the last point is not a certain.... Ugh! Thank you all again for being here for me... The only thing better would be having you all here in my living room so that I don't have to type....lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
