Re: Pain Medications CATHY

Hi ,

I take Hydrocodone 10/500 for pain. I have a horrible back too so they have

me on Soma 350 mgs and the combination of those two help A LOT! At first I was

diagnosed with Psoriatic Arthritis, and then after 3 months was diagnosed with

Rheumatoid Arthritis instead of PA, by the same Rheumatologist. You need to

discuss this with your Rheumatologist and let them know the Darvacet isn't

helping much. I hope you get relief soon!

Thanks Misty. I have an appointment with my rheumatologist coming up

next week and I will ask her about Hydrocodone. The Enbrel and MTX work

so well that I don't usually need anything stronger than Advil so this

sudden pain kinda surprised me, but it did show me that I need to make

sure that I have something on hand for flares. It is ironic that this

happened now because at my last appointment my Dr offered to give me a

prescription for pain meds and I told her that I was fine . . . did not

need them. Boy I was wrong . . . LOL

Thanks,

Take care,
