Hi! I saw your post on the thread about how old everyone is---just wondering if you ever got a good mix of meds going? What did you end up with? Any improvement? It's going on a year and a half of trying to get the right combination of meds for me and it just hasn't happened yet. I'm getting frustrated and discouraged and hoping next appt. my RD will have some good ideas. Currently on Enbrel, MTX, prednisone, folic acid for my RA.Charlie, I have not gotten the right med mix yet either. My RA is progressing. Just remember, I read posts that it took years to get the meds right and people went into remission. We can't lose hope.With all of these auto-immune diseases in existance, why aren't the drug companies trying to come up with something for the immune system instead of trying to treat each and every disease? Doesn't that make more sense? ("shaking my head") Geez!
probably because the immune system still baffles even the best researchers..
Thats kind of scary plus they do not know how to turn off the bad parts and keep the good going..
anyone that does this will become a instant millionaire...
but it does not look like the biologics are the answere yet...

Many feel the answer lies in stem-cell research, but yeah, we know how that goes. Well I attempted to find the article but I couldn't.....
