Re: Talking to doc update

[Guest guest]

When my rheumy first talked to me about going on the bio-meds, he gave me a video tape that described Humira and another that described Enbrel. These really helped me to understand what the bio-meds would do and to make a decision between the 2. Perhaps the doc's office staff can make these available to you before your appointment!snowdrift52003 <snowdrift52003@...> wrote: I called my rheumy's office and scheduled an appt. for Jan. 11 to discuss my thoughts about biological meds.

Here's a link to a site I used early in my RA to learn some things about it. I haven't used the site in about a year but it was good the last time I used it. http://arthritisinsight.com/medical/meds/ The Arthritis Foundation http://www.arthritis.org/conditions/DrugGuide/index.asp also has a lot of information about drugs but when I have looked things up they seemed to be more detailed and less readable. I hope one or both of these sites helps you. God bless.
