Guest guest Posted June 15, 2009 Report Share Posted June 15, 2009 Okay, , I'm going to try answering this, but I'll probably get it wrong, so wait for Tracie to get back for the "rest of the story." DMARDS are "disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs." BRM's are biological response modifiers. There seems to be some overlap from my reading. Some sites list Remicade, Enbrel, etc. in both categories. Imuran, Placquenil, Mtx, Cytoxan, Cellcept & others are listed as DMARDS on the www.arthritis.org site, while Remicade, etc. are just listed as BRM's. This is the address for their drug info, by categories. I would tend to trust the info from this site, so if like me, you find some conflicting info, study the source before deciding what's more credible. Hope this helps until the Big Cheese (Head Nacho) returns.

A DMARD or just plain poison? LOL Is a DMARD that biological stuff? Where does Remicade fit in?

Subject: RE: New GoalsTo: Neurosarcoidosis Date: Thursday, June 11, 2009, 3:06 AM No that's the only thing I take other than depression meds...I'll check out the site and thanks Rose! -- New Goals Hi y'all, Just an update on me Krumdawg (Greg). Yeaterday able to ride stationary bike for 10 minutes each three times, without losing balance and falling off. Happy happy Greg. Will start increase time on stationary Bike. Will rebuild my endurance and then Start a good ole Army PT Program to get rid of this Prednisone bloat. Yes, all I will take it easy and start slow. I know I am not the young trooper I use to be. OO and Rose I think I will save up for a Recumbent trike. Priced them out and they are twice as expensive as my Mountain bike. Plus need to get under 250 lbs. (and I am on my way) or the ones for heavy people are even more expensive. Will update y'all in a few weeks and let you know if I successfully increased my endurance and if I have started my PT Program. Thank you all for all the advice and prayers I recieved in the past few months. They have really made a difference in my like and I am very thank ful to all my new friends. May you all have as many aspossible Pain free and loving dyas.

Guest guest Posted June 15, 2009 Report Share Posted June 15, 2009 Thanks Rose. I'll check out the website. I have noticed the same thing with sarc info. Some classify it as an auto immune thing & others don't. The ones that kill me only talk about it going away by itself!
