Guest guest Posted June 11, 2010 Report Share Posted June 11, 2010 The last time I posted I was starting enbrel. I was on it for 7 weeks and got my first real bad sinus infection. So all meds were stopped. My rheummy told me to go to my doctor for that. So I had to find one. Anyway, went to a doctor which is actually a walk in clinic but he also take patients and appts. His office has everything from drawing blood to x-rays to ultrasound which I had all of the above. He gave me 3 shots. One for pain, one was for inflammation and the other was an antibiotic. Wow did that antibiotic hurt. Finds were I was that I had anemia which I've known for months. He told me to get on calcium and vitamin D for that. He also gave me something called ergocalcifer which is supposed to help with absorbing the calcium. He also found more arthritis and wants to do a bone scan to check for OA. My thoughts are this....I'm feeling better than when I was on enbrel and mtx. I'm less swollen, a lot less swollen. I still hurt plenty but I'm less swollen. Has anyone had that happen? I'm not on any drugs right now till my next rheummy appt in July which is ok with me. Is that strange to be less swollen being off the meds than when I was on them? Just wondering if there were any thoughts on that. Maty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
