I guess I won't be picking it up anytime soon! I figure the pain isn't bad enough to forgo other neccesities. It makes me so mad that medication cost so much when you're uninsured. >> Dear Rhonda, I'll bet there are some answers somewhere to your insurance issues - at least I hope so in this day and age! Does your state have a program? The U of Wash clinic has a social worker to help with some of these issues. I know you don't have much energy but maybe someone can help you research it or someone here has some ideas. It's too bad to have to worry about getting proper treatment when you are sick and least able to deal with it. It has sure made me aware of the situation of so many retirees, too. Take care and I hope that you get some relief soon. Thinking of you, Amy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Be careful with sun. I've had a bad reaction through my light cotton shirt in a 10 minute time frame and even faster on my face if I forget my suncreen and hat!

Guest guest Posted November 21, 2003 Report Share Posted November 21, 2003 Lee-Anne, I have RA, OA and Fibro. I started on Arava and Bextra with some prednisone as needed. It worked well for me for about 9 months and then just stopped working. In that time frame I also changed Rheummy docs and my new doc is far more aggressive. He started Methotrexate pills at first....I had terrible nausea and dizziness. He then changed me to MTX injections and put me on 5mg prednisone maintainance dosage. After 6 months I was not getting enough relief and 5 weeks ago he added Embrel and I am up to taking 17.5mg of Methotrexate weekly. I personally prefer injections over pills. Far less GI effects and I have a very sensitive stomach. Good luck Toni In a message dated 11/21/03 2:57:19 PM Central Standard Time, rheumatic writes: > Message: 6 > Date: Thu, 20 Nov 2003 21:39:31 -0500 > From: Lee-Anne Assaad <fadya@...> > Subject: A question > > I would appreciate hearing privately from any one with experience > combining Arava and or Enbrel and the protocol.

We were told that there were a couple on the market with children doing the signing and then the viewer mimiced them. Of course, the people that said they were great could not remember anything to identify the videos so we're shooting in the dark! Any guidance would be appreciated! I have a blues clues video that has some signing in it. However, I purchased it at a flea market..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
