Hi everyone, its been so long since I have posted that I'm sure you dont remember me. I have, however been following all the posts in the last year or so.
I've had a few ups and downs, but I've managed to get down ( at last) to 3mgs pred. My Forsteo injections finished this month (2 years) and I'm still taking the Calci-chew. My rheumy has prescribed Fosamax for the forseeable future and also told me I now have Bursitis in my right hip!! :x This on top of everything else!!
So now to add to pernicious anemia,underactive thyroid, osteoperosis,anemia,ibs and pmr, i now have to try to cope with bursitis!! Sorry, having quite a bad day..
I just want to ask a question and I hope you lovely ladies and gents out there can give me some advice. My rheumy has suggested that,as my esr levels seem to be yo-yo ing and I have to go up and down with the amount of pred I take, I might consider taking mtx.
Does anyone have any advice? Has anyone had any bad experiences?
The reason I ask is that my brother (he has psoriatic arthritis) was put on mtx and thought he was going to die he felt so bad on it and a friend of his who was also put on it thought it was the best thing since sliced bread!!!
Does the effect depend on the person taking it or is it a combination of different drugs being taken at the same time affect the outcome?
Sorry to be on such a downer tonight, havnt felt this bad for a while. Think I'll have a little (well littleish) medicinal brandy and go to bed. :lol:
Night,Night all,Pat. :zzz:
