Take care, love Liz Hi Liz, Thanks for letting me know about the ankle and foot pain. Sounds like I had better get the metho out of the cupboard and start taking it. After the experience I had with the Plaquenil I'm almost afraid to take any new medication. That was awful. Took it for 2 weeks and suddenly I swelled up all over my body and had a rash that was unrelenting everywhere. Even in my hair. It took a month for that to clear up. I didn't think osteoarthritis made your joints swell and get red and hot. Thanks for telling me this. Maybe that's what it is that I get, along with the RP. Take care.
