Guest guest Posted September 22, 2009 Report Share Posted September 22, 2009 Hi all! Nice to be in a support group for RA finally!! i have a need for solicited advice. I saw a rheumy for many years. 2 yrs ago i decided to quite seeing a rheumy since I was either intolerant to the meds or they didn't work. He said if the med in one category didn't work then the rest in the same category wouldn't either. I tried the " newer " Humira, Kineret, remicade et al and of course the older ones. And we tried different combinations. Being that I like to breathe I couldn't take mthx because I am highly allergic to it. i am still taking prednisone and have ein small doses for most of 20 yrs. Fortunately it works to cover the pain but that is all. i can't do cortisone shots anymore because they send me spiraling into depression. I don't know what to do. Do I attempt to go back to the rheumy to see if there is any new med that are helpful and with less possible side effects? Or do I just continue on with my pain management dr? Thanks for your advice Psycho Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
