Guest guest Posted June 28, 1999 Report Share Posted June 28, 1999 I have changed doctors myself. My first diagnosed me on the 1st visit. His treatment was lodine and an anit depressant. I didn't understand why the antidepressant? he said for sleeping. He was also very short and didn't seem to listen. the visits were 15 minutes at most. My current doc. has helped me tremendously. I was on mtx 15 mg and doing great to the point of reducing the dosage. WRONG just reducing 2.5 mgs set me back - god awful pain. went back to original dose and nothing. therefore, I am now on 25 mg of mtx shots once a week. what a difference, and no side effects that I have realized. so far so good. My current problemed area is my left wrist and thumb that is fused. I still have movement in my wrist but very limited. My new problemed area is my left knee. my left side seems to be the worst side.
