Guest guest Posted March 29, 2006 Report Share Posted March 29, 2006 Hi all, I mostly lurk and read, but have a question. I am in the TEAR study with my Rheumy. I am on 20 mg of MTX and 5 mg of Prednisone.... possibly placebo or Enbrel and possibly placebo or Plaquenil (sp) I will not know until February 07 exactly what drugs I have been on. My RA is somewhat under control, with the exception of swelling in my hands, feet-which gets much worse when my Pred is ever lowered. I had a total knee done on 1/18, but that was due to my osteo, not my RA. My Rheumy says that I may never be able to get off the Pred, regardless of what drugs I am on. Is this generally the norm? Thanks for any help, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
