The Road Back?

[Guest guest]

Hello,

I saw my rheumy today and she suggested I try Imuran for my RA. (anyone

have comments on that?) I asked about Minocycline (antibiotic) and she

said it would be fine to try it.

I picked up the RX today and will gvie it wa whirl. I feel mildly

excited. I also got my first cortisone shot and am proud to report that

I took it like a woman! Not a whimper. I also got the X-rays I wanted.

It felt like a fruitful visit. My husband accompanied me, and I think I

got slightly better care just because there was an " observer " present.

(My rheumy's nurse held back on her personal talk, which was nice. I

really don't want to hear any more about her dream of becoming a

professional bowler...)

I'll let you know how things go. I hear that it can be a bit rough in

the beginning--RA patients on the antibiotic protocol feel worse before

they feel better.
