I appreciate you responding to me. It is nice to know someone is on the same drug, especially when it is new on the market. I go again for another infusion on June 27th. I am anxious to see how it will turn out. I am also going to talk with my rheumy about my concerns. Will post again when I know more. PretzeladyView Thread




The problem is, this last bout I had with pain was really bad. My CRP was over 400 and it should have been 4. Now he tells me the methrotrexate isn't going to help me as my hands are starting to turn some. He runs a study group and he wants me to try out a drug they are testing. I think it is a biologic drug. This is not an approved drug and I am afraid to try it. It would all be free and they claim it is safe. I am on the fence as to what to do. I am a very young 76 year old. Have any of you tried a test drug? I would love to hear from you. I would love to have your opinion on if I should try it or not. Thank You. PretzeladyView Thread



Wondering if there's an easier way to manage my pain. I am currently taking Metx (meth-ro-tex-ate), not sure of spelling...
Look forward to hearing your feedback!View Thread
