Guest guest Posted May 26, 2006 Report Share Posted May 26, 2006 I have a question on meds. I was recently put on 10mg of prednisone (up from 5mg) and started Humira, I get my second shot Saturday. My dr. said that once I got on the Humira to start to taper back off the pred, which I'm now back down to 5mg a day right now. My question is I will now be on Mobic and Humira, and she was hoping to get me off the pred all together within the next two months. Do you think this will be enough, without a dmard? I've read that most times Humira is used in conjunction with a dmard? I was on plaquenil about 18mo which worked wonderfully for me but suffered from terrible rashes on my face, along with itching. We then tried mtx, only took two doses and again had a rash reaction. So I had stopped my meds all together for a variety of reasons and this is our first attempt at getting me back into control. What do you think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 14, 2007 Report Share Posted March 14, 2007 , Mobic is an anti-inflammatory. It does take a while to feel a difference. Usually people don't think its working until they quit taking it. I'm a nurse at a pain clinic. Most PCP's don't want to prescribe pain meds except for a very short time because of the new DEA regulations. So they send patients to a pain clinic like ours. Maybe you could get her to refer you to a pain clinic or a pain specialist. Joyce T, RN Atlanta Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
