HI guys, haven't posted for a while, just been reading and replying!
I have been getting by on MTX at 12.5mg per week, was on 15mg but had too many mouth ulcers and headaches, oh and tummy probs!~ I have got pred down to 9mg daily from 10mg without too much hassle. I must admit I do seem to have a little more energy and less severe joint pain, Unfortunately though, the osteoarthritis and the degenerative disc disease in my spine isn't giving me much of a rest. Never mind, I am awaiting the next move re. Orencia from my rheumy after my allergic reaction to it. I have still been experiencing a lot of pain so my GP is giving me Endone 5mg 4 x a day and a pain injection of tramal when required as it works much better than the tramal tabs.
My son and his epilepsy are still worrying us, he has had 3 large seizures and a few small ones even though his meds have been altered. I am worried as he goes back to school soon and he is always very tired. He is such a little sweetheart and worries about me all the time, I have absolutely adored having both the boys home for the summer hols, as I had them to myself with hubby to spoil them. Hope all is ok in everybodys lives or at least not too bad. Hugs, Janie.
Hi Jane
I am so sorry to hear about your son. Everyone thinks I am nuts when I say I would rather have my kids at home instead of school. I am always a worry wart with my son.
I hope your pain subsides very soon.
