Guest guest Posted February 22, 2005 Report Share Posted February 22, 2005 Hi Marina, After 22 yrs with RA I believe I have tried just about everything offered except Mustard gas! yes believe, that was a treatment offer in Phoenix by a well known Rheumatologist...and Thalidamide recently offered to me last month but declined......unbelievable As far as the Prosorba treatments...I would ask a lot of questions...why not other options first that have a greater success rate than 50%..How many patients has he or she on the Prosorba Column? How many failed out of the total? I asked all of those questions and more and knew my chances but felt I needed to do it anyway or I would never know...now I do I took MTX both orally and injection and found that I had less side effects like nausea, etc if done by injection...but I have very serious issues with MTX anyway and will no longer take it... Well if I can be of any further help let me know. God Bless Joanne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
