Guest guest Posted September 20, 2010 Report Share Posted September 20, 2010 Ok, TO THOSE WHO ARE IN PAIN, DESPERATE, AND DON'T WANT TO LIVE LIKE THIS -- THERE IS HOPE. I ALMOST FEEL NORMAL! So I was on Humira until I started getting infections, so I had to go off in June. So, I was just on Methotrexate and Oxycodone for pain. Then my doctor started me on Lyrica. I am SUPER SENSITIVE to those drugs, so we started at 50mg only at night. THIS IS THE FIRST DRUG THAT HELPED MY COSTOCHONDRITIS AND CHEST PAIN. YYYEEEAAHH1 I just cut down to only 25 mg at night, and that seems to be enough to alleviate that pain, which is such a relief. I have been having some slight neurologic problems, we don't know why, as well as EXTREME FATIGUE. Even worse then usual. I can only compare it to after I had radiation for cancer. SOOO Bad, I could not get out of bed or eat or bathe - it was very difficult. So, my neurologist prescribed me Adipex, which is usually given for weight loss. It has been great. I actually puttered around this weekend and did some gardening! I put up a shelf and played with my nephew! I did have to add Lunesta at night to be able to sleep, to counteract it - but it is good. So, because I CAN'T do biologics, my magic combo right now is: METHOTREXATE FOLIC ACID LUNESTA LYRICA - SMALL DOSAGE AT NIGHT ADIPEX - SMALL DOSE IN EARLY AM OXYCODONE - SMALLEST DOSE AS NEEDED Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
