Guest guest Posted January 17, 2002 Report Share Posted January 17, 2002 First was the pred and colchicine then the dapsone was added, and increased slowly. My ears still bother me at times, although the severity of the pain is less. I don't know if I could say it's one drug or another, I just want to get off the pred. Kathy C. Re: New med Kathy, Thanks for the reply. Did you try the colchicine first and then add the dapsone, or the other way around? I am just curious as to whether just one wasn't enough or did your doctor put you on both at the same time? The pred does really stink and I do hope to be able to get off of it soon! Kathleen (Tx) New med Hi all. Went in to see the rheumy this morning as I am having a flare up. He has upped the pred to 30 mg and wants to add Colchicine. Has anybody else tried this one? He said it has far fewer side effects than the others, MTX, Imuran, or Dapsone. I just hope it works. He also wants me into the ENT again as my trachea is acting up this time :-( Also, have any of you guys ever gotten a rash/sores on your scalp? I do and it HURTS. He said it was probably some sort of a local infection and gave me some antibiotic cream for it. He said, " There's no cartilage on the top of your head! " Nudge, Nudge, Wink, Wink... Anyway, if you guys have ever had this (or anything similar) please let me know!
