Guest guest Posted December 6, 2005 Report Share Posted December 6, 2005 Hi Suzy- I am in Nashville too. I see Dr Lagrone and was wondering who you go to? I was on Arava for a bit but it made me sick to my stomach, gave me horrible diarreh and bad stomach pains so I went off that. I am on mtx, Remicade, prednisone and Lortab for pain. I have been flaring really bad for about 8 weeks. I normally do the Remicade every 6-8 weeks but this time am only waiting 4 weeks between infusions because my wrist/hand/ankles are so bad.

Guest guest Posted December 8, 2005 Report Share Posted December 8, 2005 Jill and Suzy, I'm just outside of Nashville but go to Dr. in the St. area. I've been on MTX and minocin, naproxex and folic acid and decadron as needed. I've been diagnosed with RA for a little over three years. linda Jill Watkins <jill.watkins@...> wrote: Hi Suzy- I am in Nashville too. I see Dr Lagrone and was wondering who you go to?
