My First Rheumy Appointment...

[Guest guest]

Well...I am very excited to say I truly like my new Rheumatologist. He is very

down to earth, positive and realistic. My husband came along for my very first

appointment. I am now on 20 mg/Prednisone a day to start...anyone willing to

share their experience/side effects while taking this?? Also, because I am young

(24) and hoping to be pregnant soon...he does not want to start me on MXT...and

is going to try to work with my insurance to get me onto Enbrel right

away...however I am very afraid they might not pay for it...and from what I

understand it is very expensive. He also mentioned Humira...I also asked him

about moving to Nevada for a better climate and he doesn't think it will have

enough of an effect to warrant moving out there...what do you all think of this?
