Guest guest Posted April 5, 2011 Report Share Posted April 5, 2011 My dears, It's been some time since I wrote to u last time, that's because I wanted to do something crazy, I wanted to stop my medication, as I felt much better and I hate what this meds do to me, it went fine in the beginning, i stopped almost for 6 month, I got married and started new life, in all sudden the adult onset stills came back, much worse than the first time, I had it first in 2008, with all the known symptoms like the fever, rash, and the hard pain, i took methotrexate first than stopped and went to the azethoprine, all went well tell 2010, here I decided to take my chance, to go or no go with the treatment, today I have it all and even worth, nothing is working now with me and it cant be stopped, I am 29 a quality engineer, and waiting to see what will happen to me, Here is my advise, never take the risk, never stop ur meds even u feel u r good. And keep watching ur health! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 5, 2011 Report Share Posted April 5, 2011 I'm sorry to hear that has happened to you!!!My daughter has Still's. She is 27 years old and d autistic and can't communicate . I never know how her meds make her feel or if in fact they are working! I can only go by blood tests and hope the numbers go in the right direction. She takes MTX, Pred, Oxycontin and various anti-inflams and drugs for other disorders that she also has, sadly!I I worry about side effects of being on such drugs for so long and have played with the idea of just stopping! You're advice has come just at the right time. I really hope that you get back on top of it. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.. Love and Light, Maree, 's mum.

Guest guest Posted April 5, 2011 Report Share Posted April 5, 2011 Shereen  sorry this did not work out for you but your experience is also valuable knowledge not only for your self but because you were willing to share it here it also for all of us and many new people that come and read long before they join. I was forced to do as you did and had kind of the same out look. all went great for a time and then I was hit again and from that day to now its never let up but thankfully its never gotten harder or as hard as the first round when I was finally DX. It is also I would add never a good deal to do this on your own and I do mean never ever but it should only be done with your doctor(s) agreeing and helping you on the path as some of our meds can make real trouble if we stop them out right with out the right tapers and even some time kicking it back up for a time then back down again path.  so thanks for sharing hugs      The  Redneck  Marty G      I watch the sands of time run threw the hour glass of my life knowing I can not change what has passed. All I can do is live for today and hope for tomorrow and that it's a better day then the one I am leavening here today As I move into the one filled with hope that’s called tomorrow.

Guest guest Posted April 6, 2011 Report Share Posted April 6, 2011 Thanks for your emails, I am slightly better today, my last test results are as follow: Feritten: 1004 TLC: 22,000  This was the worst, of course all results are bad, I told the doctor I cant go back to the methotrexate because I wish to get pregnant, so currently the doctor described for me:  plaquenil: twice a day azathioprine: 3 per day solupred: 60 mg per day with Calcium and bon-one  I am not sure if I got pregnant how will this meds affect, but I really wish to have a baby...

Guest guest Posted April 7, 2011 Report Share Posted April 7, 2011 My Dear Maree, your mail touched my heart, and I am happy my msg came on time too, never stop the meds dear, the I took the MTX for almost a year and all other meds you mentioned, I cant for sure tell you how ur daughter feel, because this meds have different effect on each person, but the thing I can assure you after my long experience that we get used to every thing: the pain, the meds and even the side effects, what happen with time is usually one of two things: you get bored with all of it, and this can be avoided with many things, like trying to do smth new, going out, try new food or activity. The second thing is that when have a big event in ur life, like a new job or marriage, and then you feel these meds are taking you away from many achievements, but what happened to me is that I found stopping the meds will make me lose it all! So keep strong, and keep supporting your daughter, and God bless you Shereen El Morsy ________________________________ To: Stillsdisease Sent: Wed, April 6, 2011 4:15:13 AM Subject: RE: The beast is back I'm sorry to hear that has happened to you!!!My daughter has Still's.
