u guys have heard from me before. just to cut the chase I had problem with right wrist which is OK now. My feet driving me to drinks

Million dollar question is when I go for appointment what should I ask the rheumy.  which medication to go on? Will it be hard to go back to MTX? will it work?
 
I am in Canada.  Rheumy never told me about AP. Reading book by Henry Scamell.  Will it work for me?  I have rheumotid arthritis from 2 years. sero negative. no lupus. mild to moderate.  Any input or thoughts will be appreciated regarding med or what to do with neck.
You could try a different NSAID with a PPI (I take Aciphex).  Or back to MTX, or Arava is another option. AP may be an option (depending on your doctor) but I don't know much about it.  How bad was your stomach upset?  For now you could try Aleve if it wasn't too bad, maybe with some prilosec.  Aleve worked really well for me, now on prescription Mobic.  For the pain that is, not long term management.Well, I would definitely make an appt and see the rheumy asap about the neck.  If its not an injury, it should be looked at as if you have RA in the neck, that is a very serious development and needs immediate attention.  Good luck.  Let us know how it goes.  Cathy
