Guest guest Posted September 5, 2008 Report Share Posted September 5, 2008 I had an awful fungus infection after being on Remicade. What's more the doctor thought I had lymphoma as well--another side effect. Horrible stuff. I'm sorry I was on it as long as I was. It's a way for doctor's to get rich at $5,000+ per infusion.

Guest guest Posted September 5, 2008 Report Share Posted September 5, 2008 Dolores and Mike, you need to read the warning for this medications. Now I know why I had the fungal infections last year and beginning this year, and my rheumatologist wants me to get back on them. NO WAY. I think I just don't get back to her again.

Guest guest Posted September 5, 2008 Report Share Posted September 5, 2008 Thank you to whomever send this e-mail. My rheumy never told me that this could happen but now I know why I have been so sick for so long. I also have a fungal infection from the Enbrel. Maybe I should contact the FDA. I am now on the AP program and getting better.

Guest guest Posted September 5, 2008 Report Share Posted September 5, 2008 It's all over the news today. I was the one who refused these meds when they first prescribed them to me. I went seeking for an alternative and then I found Lynne G. who led me to A/P. I never used those drugs and that is why I made such a great recovery. I've been telling peopld not to take those drugs for 3 years and now they have proven why the pharmeceutical push this stuff just to make money. They woo the doctors with dinners, lunches, gifts and samples just so they could make a fortune on keeping sick people sicker. I hate to say, " I told you so to everybody, but yes---I have been saying all along that these drugs they give to arthritics are toxic. And the further insult is that they are not pulling them off the shelves, they are just putting a warning on those pieces of paper that come with the drug. You know, the ones that nobody reads because they complicate them with model drawings and big words to confuse the consumer. Best to stay away from all those drugs and just take the antibiotics, antifungals, when needed and a probiotic when needed. The rest, as far as I am concerned, can go into the garbage. Take care and have a great day. Hope you haven't developed histoplasmosis from taking any of those drugs. Get tested. The best to you, Dolores & Mike From: katz60nm <mpkatzlaplaza (DOT) org> Subject: rheumatic Four arthritis drugs get stronger FDA warning rheumatic@grou ps.com Date: Friday, September 5, 2008, 11:39 AM this was on CNN news today http://www.cnn. com/2008/ HEALTH/09/ 04/fda.arthritis .ap/index. html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
