I was taking Arava with MTX. It may have caused some acne, but we're not sure. My primary care doctor asked the rheum doc to stop it because it can cause some respiratory things and I already have problems with that. It's certainly worth a try. I was taking one pill each day and 4 Mtx once a week. dd **************AOL Search: Your one stop for directions, recipes and all other Holiday needs. Search Now.

Guest guest Posted December 12, 2008 Report Share Posted December 12, 2008 Clora, I'm so proud of you! You are doing great! I'm still pulling for you, and I hope you use your angels to comfort you. I hope you soon get well from the cold. I had a stomach virus, which I think I have recovered from. At the same time, I had a sinus infection, which is much better but not completely gone. I went a week and one day without Enbrel, but by this past Wednesday, my knees were crying out for it, so I went ahead with an injection. I do hope that you are soon well.

Guest guest Posted March 25, 2009 Report Share Posted March 25, 2009 I was wondering about her, too. It's strange in these groups how people come and then just all of a sudden disappear. I've been wondering about a couple of other people, like Tawny and Tess. Sue On Mar 25, 2009, at 4:10 PM, Barbara Creedon wrote: > : > She did?

Guest guest Posted March 25, 2009 Report Share Posted March 25, 2009 Lots of turnover, Sue. Tawny and Tess are still members.
