Guest guest Posted September 8, 2004 Report Share Posted September 8, 2004 I smile when i read about some of the pick and choose and ask what helps for the arthriti. I have been there and done that. To others i have been on pred and boy do you gain weight with that but i think you cannot be on that to long because i was and i ended up with some side effects and also i gained alot ofweight. I tried mexo alone but i found that as the arthritis progressed it was not enough. So i went on and on trying all kinds of things which i think everyone has to do til they find out what works for them. I am now on enbrel (5yrs) with mexo and i seem to have found my nich. I don't think we will ever be free of pain until there comes a cure. Take the time to find a rhumy you like and explore all your outlits with them. I also use motrin 800ml for swelling and takeing the edge off the pain. I think of all of you and i wish i could help you all because i am getting progressivly worse but i keep fighting. Check out thw web sites some have suggested and check them out they are helpful. Also go to your local arthritis foundation groups who help you to try and cope with this awful desease. Well i guess i will go back to just reading and if i can help with ideas let me know. God Bless Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
