Guest guest Posted June 4, 2002 Report Share Posted June 4, 2002 Hi lizz so glad to hear from you. I just wish i could get some answers. for the first time i am starting to feel like some invalid and I hate this. I would like to know if this is RP related or someother disease that is getting to me. Like old age. My rheumy appt is the 18th and I don't even want to go , he makes me feel so dumb, like i don't know what is going on in my own body. take care dawn Cobb wrote: Dawn and Sally, I have back pain from my neck down tomy lumbar region. MRI's show bulging discs andarthritic changes. I don't know if itis rp related butI can't help thinking some of it is. I find raisingmy pred just a little (i.e. 5mg per day to 7 1/2 mgper day helps quite a lot) My saudi rheumy told me itwas ok (in my case) to go up to 10mg without referringto him or another doctor, but not to go over. Thishas worked quite well for me for the last year. Ihave got right off once or twice, but flared soonafterwards. My US rheumy said it is ok to useCelebrex occasionally when pain was bad, this is alsoeffective. Hope this helps. Maybe you should lookfor another rheumy... love Liz __________________________________________________ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
