I always freeze whole bottles of water and it is never defrosted when I want to drink it. By doing what you do is wonderful and I feel like a jerk for never thinking of it myself.

Guest guest Posted October 17, 2004 Report Share Posted October 17, 2004 Dear Janet, Well when you move to Florida you have to figure these things out or you die from the heat. I do it every time I leave the house and it has worked every time. It is such a simple thing, but makes a big difference to me. How have you been feeling Janet? I thought I read where you don't think Humira is working very well? I have to say that the last MRI I had sort of set me off again. Just lying down on that table for 30 minutes was so miserable on my lower back. I've found out now they can do your back MRI sitting up in a chair and that will be a big difference to me. I think I'm actually in the middle of a flair or it's just the recent cut in the prednisone that has brought back most of my symptoms. I'm finally down to 10mg and I'd give anything to take it back to 12.5mg, just to feel better for a few days. I've just worked so hard to get to this point, I don't want to mess it up anymore. I want off this drug really bad now and I just pray I can stay there. So far I'm on Bextra now instead of Vioxx and I think it's bothering my stomach, but that might all be in my mind. I know I had problems with Celebrex. I'm still having numbness in my hand and wrist which is driving me nuts, but take away all of those problems and I'm doing just great...lol. Well like goes on and things can always get worse, so I'm happy with the energy I have on Arava at least. Let me know how you are and I don't think you are a jerk at all. Love, Fran Re: [ ] Re: gadgets? Fran In a message dated 10/17/2004 7:29:23 AM Eastern Standard Time, fran@... writes: Soooooo.

Guest guest Posted October 19, 2004 Report Share Posted October 19, 2004 Hi Fran, I haven't been on for a few weeks since I was away and was wondering what you decided to do after your last experience. Have you decided to go to anymore clinics? I was given Bextra after the Vioxx experience but now I am hearing that the problem is with all -2 inhibitors and not just Vioxx. That would be Bextra and Celebrex as well. I heard that there is just not as long a time amount on research as Vioxx and these too will be discouraged. I am presently taking Naprosyn and it seems to help somewhat. My rheumy took me off double Humira since it did nothing and tomorrow I will be receiving double Enbrel in the mail. I hope that is going to be my magic potion. Janet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
