Guest guest Posted October 6, 2009 Report Share Posted October 6, 2009 Have any of you taken or heard of this RA med? What is it similar too and have you had good results if you have taken it? I got a potato peeler in the mail from OXO good grips and a brochure for this med with it. ~~~~~~~~~~Joy~~~~~~~~~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 30, 2009 Report Share Posted December 30, 2009 Hi Joy: Have you ever been on Methatrexate? Could you take Prednisone? It is awful to have those allergies to the meds. you were on. When I got diagnosed 6 years ago, I started right off with Pred. and MTX. I was on high doses of Pred., plus, getting the shots from my Rheumy. I started with the .6 of MTX with the needles, as the pills made me deathly sick, 24/7. I have taken as much as 60 mg. a day of Pred. as she was trying to get me under control. It took awhile for these 2 meds. to start to work on me. I am not familiar with a lot of RA drugs, just what I take, and what I read here that our members take. I know you must be hurting, as well as frustrated that you can't take a lot of the drugs successfully.  I hope your Rheumy can try some things for you so you can begin to feel better. Everyone here takes what works for them. As you know, what works for one, might not work for someone else. We search and search for that " magic cocktail " of meds. that works for us.  Please rest when you can, and I hope you see your Rheumy soon. You don't want to get so bad that it takes a long time to get under some control. I wish you good luck and hope you feel better soon.  hugs,  Barbara > Hi Group: > > I saw a commercial last night for a new RA drug called Simboni? Anyways, its once a month as opposed to once a week (with Enbrel). Does anyone have any info on it? > > I would much rather take it once than 4 times (I am hoping its cheaper too).?? > > OKD ------------ --------- --------- ------ This is a private list.

Guest guest Posted December 30, 2009 Report Share Posted December 30, 2009 What about methotrexate? It has worked the best for me Deb rn Sent from my iPhone On Dec 30, 2009, at 3:10 PM, Joy <jhoorm01@...> wrote: I have tried, arava, prednisone, enbrel, humira and plaquenil. plaquenil i was allergic too enbrel, humira I had to go off of because of repeated sinus and upper respiratory infec. Arava worked for me but my hair kept thinning. So I was thinking of trying to go back on something because the psoriasis is coming back. I have been off the pred and arava for about a year. Was just taking Voltaren for swelling and pain. Any suggestions? ~~~~~~~~~~Joy~~~~~~~~~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
