Guest guest Posted June 5, 2008 Report Share Posted June 5, 2008 I take Arava for the joints?and Hydrocodone for the pain. The Arava has done a decent job for me but I have been in the past on Humira, Prednisone and Methotrexate, With Prednisone my appetite went nuts and I gained almost 40 pounds. Since I weaned off it,I have lost the weight and I feel better.The pain is worse but I am trying to wait till it?gets very bad before I request more medsI found your letter to be thoughtful and informative. Hope you are painfree and walking well. Walt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 6, 2008 Report Share Posted June 6, 2008 Thanks for your input regarding meds. I always knew this disease could happen to invade my life again. I didn't expect it to hit me like a freight train. I am just in the process of deciding to take Methotrexate. Now is it always Methotrexate and prednisone or do you normally just start out on Methotrexate? I want to be prepared with information when I see the Rheumy.
