Update on RD appt | Arthritis Information

Hello all...

Went to my RD appt today.  He increased my Arava to 20 mg daily, gave me some Pred , some type of gel that you rub on your sore spots (I'm at work and can't remember the name of it).  he said there is nothing else I can take for pain without going to a narc, which I don't want to do.  So, I think the pred will help me a lot. 
thanks for all who wished me well....

Hey Phats, I am glad you are happy with your treatmant, how much pred are you going on and is it long term, if so then you may need an osteoporotic drug such as actonel combi.  Good luck from Janie.I'm glad you're happy, Phats...... I really hope it works to get you feeling better!!

Hope those changes help and you're feeling much better soon!

Hope this does the trick!Hope you feel better and better. Hang in there. Good news! Best wishes for feeling better soonest. Babs,
My Pred regimen is only 3 weeks long.  I will take 15 mg for the first week, 10 second week and 5 the last week.  He didn't want to do a medrol pack because it is a high dose to start with and decreases too quickly.  I know the devil Pred will make me feel better!
