Guest guest Posted October 18, 2005 Report Share Posted October 18, 2005 First off- hello to our new members. I wish I could answer you all personally but my RA has been bad in my hands and fingers and I can no longer type. I use a pen to press the keys. Anyway, this brings me to my question. Is anyone here on a TNF blocker only? I am and in the last few months it has not been cutting it, with me experiencing RA in new locations of my hands, fingers and toes. My Rheumy who originally diagnosed it wanted to see how well I could be without the MTX or other combo therapy. I have always had a bit of pain but very liveable, but lately I have pain everyday and find I am needing to turn to narcotics approx. every other day and I am literally crying before I take it. I am just about to start trying for a baby so now is not the time for the MTX! Also, I don't want to be taking narcotics either, that's why I am waiting until I am crying to take them Anyway, just wondering if anyone just takes the TNF alone and what their experience is? Also, any suggestions would be most appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
