Guest guest Posted November 7, 2001 Report Share Posted November 7, 2001 Yes Sandy I was very lucky to find a Rheumy so close. I called and asked if he was familiar with RP before I would make the appointment. The nurse had to ask him and called me back. The Cleveland Clinic was just to far and either my husband or daughter took of work to take me, it was getting to be such a hassle. I still have Dr. Metha and Eliachar at the clinic. But I don't have to go to them very often. Dawn: I think your tremors are worse than mine. Girl it sounds like you ride the waves with a waterbed. Hah, hah W. I let you know what they say. He thinks it might be the meds. Everyone else: the meds I am on are: Singulair 10mg. a day, Flovent 220mcg., Albuterol 17g. ( 2 puffs 2x day), for asthma. Synthroid 125mcg a day, prinival 20mg. 1x day, for high blood pressure. Nasacort AQ 16.5g. 2 sprays 2x day. Prednisone 10mg 2x day. Trexall 10mg 1x week, Foltx 1x day. Foltx is for cardio protection. He also put me on caltrate 600+D. Dr. Metha had me on Theophyllin but I was having a reaction to that. I have a very low tolerance to caffeine. Thanks everyone for your replies.
