Re: what pain meds help? MARGE

SORRY IT IS METHOTRAXATE IT IS A WIDE SPREAD MED USED ALOT IN

R/A AND FIBRO, IT IS TAKEN WITH FOLIC ACID AND WHATEVER THE DOSE I BELIEVE

MOST TAKE IT JUST THE ONCE A WEEK WITH FOLIC ACID EVERY DAY. BOTH MY MOM AND I

HAD REACTIONS TO AND COULD NOT TAKE. YOU ALSO HAVE TO BE MONITERED ON THIS DRUG

CLOSER FOR REASONS YOUR DR. COULD EXPLAIN, IF U GET SICK WITH FLU, ETC. U MOST

TIMES HAVE TO D/C WHILE SICK. HOPE THIS HELPED. SHARON

RELIEF WITH OTHERS LIKE MX, WHICH USUALLY RHUEMO PRESCRIBES, OTHERS

HAVE USED PREDISONE WHICH THEY CLAIM TO WORK REMARKABLE, I MYSELF HAD

BAD SIDE EFFECTS FROM MOST OF THE NON NARCOTICS AND HAVE HAD TO USE

VICODIN, THERE HAS BEEN NO OTHER CHOICE, ALOT OF DR.'S DON'T BELIEVE

IN GIVING US PAIN MEDS, AS THEY SAY FIBRO PATIENTS SHOULD NOT BE ON

THEM, ???? THAT IS THE ONLY THING THEY SAY. I HAVE A GREAT TEAM OF

DR;S WHO HAVE WORKED WITH ME CLOSELY AND IN MY BEST INTEREST
