Guest guest Posted June 13, 2010 Report Share Posted June 13, 2010 Hello group I read a lot of your posts but do not write much. Here is my story------- I am 55, and have had RA for about 12 years. I started out taking methotrexate, and was on it for several years, when I went off of it, I was pain free for two years, I am thinking from the buildup in my body. The pain started up again, and I have not had much success siince. I moved to Wyoming from North carolina, got stuck here 9in a snow storm and just sorta stayed. My RA flares, come up when the weather changes. (barometric pressure?) There is only one dr here for RA and she is a quack. So I have been going to a GP, who has put me on prednisone for flares, which works great, but has nasty side effects. Finally he is going to try me on Methotrexate again. Has anyone been off Methotrexate and went back on and if so, did it work again? Has anyone heard of the new " lazer " treatment? I read about it in Remedy........ I was on Enbrel for 6 months, with great results however it knocked my immune system out of whack and I was very sick for a very long time. Depression is part of my life but I am dealing with it better right now. I have no body here as a close friend, so nobody to talk to about all this,,, Kitt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
