Guest guest Posted November 27, 2007 Report Share Posted November 27, 2007 My name is Mattie and I am in my mid 50's. I was diagnosed with RA 3 yrs ago and unfortunately after nodules had already developed on my right hand. I am now on Methotrexate (6 tabs weekly), Sulfasalizine (1 tab twice a day) and Humera once every two weeks. Prednisone shot all my blood levels through the roof and for months the doctor thought I had both kidney and liver disease because of the high readings so I dont know if I had an allergic reation to it or not. My current problem is that either I am having one very long and painful flareup or my medicine is nolonger working for me. I am in pain esp in my mid back and hips (which will rotate to the groin area). But my hands, ankles, feet hurt too. I've heard there are medicines that enhance your pain meds or make them work more efficently. I take 7.5mg Oxycodone at bedtime and it barely helps at this point. I see my RA specialist in about a week so does anyone have any suggestions for me that I can discuss with him? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
