Methprednisone

[Guest guest]

Oh yea i spelled that right, I am taking 4 mgs. Methprednisone + 3 other

drugs, NSAIDS, pain and placquinel and no doctors do not want you take

these drugs for long. I am taking this now going on 5 months. It is the

only thing that is working for me. I have taken all the NSAIDS i build up

resistance to them.

I took MTX, shots that i can no longer get, not selling them in Tn . (WHY)

25 mg. did not work, i still got very sick with the shots but better then

the pills. Lost about 30 lbs. in 6 mons.

My doctor wants me to take Enbrel, but the truth is i am scared, side

affects, sick and tired of taking drugs that does little or make me feel bad.

I am not doing well tonight, it is raining and cold, going to mix again on

Sat. ice. in the mountains. No Light, can not get to see people due to

weather and feeling bad. Boo Hiss,

Oh well i have B---h and carried on now maybe i will feel better, you got

to keep you since of humor.

Hello to the new people, i am fairly new myself, but it is good to have

people who understand and do not think you are crazy.

Peace and Love

Are you sure it isn't methylprenisolone? My husband has Wegener's

Granulomatosis (another autoimmune disorder) and has taken it for

years. He changed to it after our rheumy said he shouldn't take

anymore prednisone.

Been on Enbrel. I took it for several years. I felt much better.

Got both the psoriasis and arthritis under control. The only

problems I had were if I was around people who were sick. I had to

be very careful of germs, but overall I did well. My insurance

decided I no longer qualified for it since I do not have plaque

psoriasis. Have they looked at my hands and feet lately, I wonder?

I am now working on a more natural approach. Serapeptase and Omega3

Oils are helping some. They are both natural anti inflammatory. My

biggest problem right now is the Erythema Nodosum. I keep active,

type a lot a work to keep my fingers limber, and play the recorder.

I find when I keep moving, I feel better, even though sometimes it

hurts and is hard to get started.

MTX is also available in pill form. Ask your doctor. I took them

before I started the Enbrel.

Hope things get better for you soon. I know how miserable and

depressing it can be to be in pain all the time.
