Guest guest Posted March 15, 2001 Report Share Posted March 15, 2001 a, I went to the RM today, and they switched me from Difunisal down to Relafen. (Hmm, are they running a special on Relafen?) She told me that it could take up to a month for the medication to build up in my system. I felt better within a couple of hours - not 100%, but definitely better.

Guest guest Posted April 8, 2001 Report Share Posted April 8, 2001 , I went to urgent care and after 2 hours, he said that it didnt sound like I had Bronchitis, but he put me on antibiotics(5 day perscription) since i have RA and need to watch infections. I think i do have bronchitis, but I am on my 3rd day and am still coughing. I sure hope i get over this soon. thanks for asking. a R > a R, > > So what happened? I read your message too late, sorry!

Guest guest Posted April 8, 2001 Report Share Posted April 8, 2001 a R, I'm sorry that you haven't been feeling good and that your cough is so persistent. I hope you get over it soon, too. Have you called your rheumatologist about this? I think I would call him and tell him your situation and let him decide what's going on. Before you started the MTX, were all of your baseline tests, including a chest x-ray, done? ----- Original Message ----- From: " a R " <mquiltn@...> < > Sent: Saturday, April 07, 2001 9:55 PM Subject: [ ] Re: a R > , > I went to urgent care and after 2 hours, he said that it didnt sound > like I had Bronchitis, but he put me on antibiotics(5 day > perscription) since i have RA and need to watch infections.

Guest guest Posted April 9, 2001 Report Share Posted April 9, 2001 Hi all, thanks for the consern. I am on zytrhomax. I took my last pill last night and it is supposed to continue working for another 5 days. I am still coughing, but it seems to be letting up a little. Night time is the worst. my right ear hurts when i lay on it and my left hip hurts when i lay on my left side. to say the least i am moving alot during the night. I did not have an chest x-ray prior to starting mtx. I took my second dose(7.5mg) on friday. Take care, aR -- In @y..., " Matsumura " <Matsumura_Clan@m...> wrote: > a R, > > I'm sorry that you haven't been feeling good and that your cough is so > persistent.
