Me and Meds | Arthritis Information

I've had to make some difficult decisions about restarting my meds....it's such a love/hate relationship.

I started MXT and SSZ today and on Monday I'll restart Humira. Hopefully Humira will act as quickly this time as it did when I started it.

I talked with the surgeon and there's no need of a breast biopsy. Completely normal mammo and ultrasound and he wasn't sure why I was referred by me gyn! The gum abcess is cleared and all is well in that area. So I'm back on meds. I was hoping that I'd remain stable but it's not going to happen. I just don't want the flare to get much worse. It's been a long time since I've had this type of flare. I was used to feeling good. I'm anxious about restarting but that's normal. I'm just anxious for relief. Lindy

Lindy,

That is such good news about the breast biopsy. It must have been such a relief for you. I hope that restarting the meds goes well for you. I understand your reluctance and your fear......

I'll be sending prayers your way,

Lynn

So glad everything was okay with your biospy. Wish you well with the meds.Lindy, I know the feeling well! We all want to be 'normal' so bad and can even feel that way on occasion. On the other hand, how lucky we are to have these choices! My cardiologist, a guy in his late 30's, remarked on how much things have changed just since he went through residency, what few options there were when a drug failed. You are in my thoughts and I hope you are able to get things under control quickly so you can hit the road in comfort! What a relief on the breast biopsy! That deserves a big *sigh*! I understand the love hate thing... all too well.

Glad that the biopsy was nothing to be concerned about.. and better to be safe than sorry! I hope Humira brings you great relief in quick time......

Best to you!! *sending quick relief vibes your way*

Thanks everyone. What a ride this has been. LHang in there Lindy. It's not unusual for it to take a bit for the meds to catch back up. Don't get discouraged (easier said than done; I know). You're on the path to feeling better. Wishing you quick relief.

Good news about the breast biopsy. I had the same thing once. My OB sent me for a mamogram and then they did an ultra sound. Turned out to be nothing....but it's always better safe than sorry. Breast cancer; like all the others are so much better if caught early. I'm real glad to hear you won't be fighting that battle along with all your other ones.

Wishing you quick relief as you restart your meds.

Indeed! You deserve the World Champion gold buckle for the ride you have been on this last few months. You could teach those cowboys in Las Vegas something about sticking on the back of a wildly bucking animal.

My very best wishes for a quiet summer, Shug
