Guest guest Posted July 5, 2001 Report Share Posted July 5, 2001 Hello everyone - first of all, everyone I feel REALLY guilty about not sending my membership dues - I WILL DO IT. Secondly I had a check up with my rheumy this am, had a bone density scan, which shows some loss but not enough to warrant an additional medication. ECG and chest x ray ok. Haven't got blood results yet. I am down to 5mg pred, but he really wants me off it, and I want to be off it. I am going to try plaquenil in addition to the metho. For the last few weeks I have felt nauseous on metho day and the day after, which I never did before, which is really annoying me!!! Dr Hallegua has suggested trying 2mg of folic acid daily to see if that helps. I am sort of over my jet lag, but still falling asleep in the movies!!! He thinks the burning pain in my heel may be neuropathy which I suppose is quite possible. (Diabetes related). He poked me with some sharps in my leg which were sort of dull on my feet but got sharper up my leg, but it is not too bad. He will check everything in 8 weeks and if necessary suggest something. Apparently there is an anti high blood pressure med which is also v. good for neuropathy - but I don't have high blood pressure!!! Hope everyone is as well as possible - I am still wading through my last 5 days of email!!! Love to all, Liz __________________________________________________ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
