HEALTH INTERESTS:

RA,  Raynauds,  Sjorgen,  OA of Facet Joint Lower lumbar

DRUGS I AM TAKING:

Remicade,  methotrexate,  folic acid,  lidoderm patch,  hydromorphone, klonopin, gabapentin, Restasis drops,  Cymbalta, doxepin,  prednisone for extreme flare-ups

ABOUT ME:

I have had RA for 12 years. I had a great five year period of remission while on Enbrel until it just stopped working. I have been on remicade every four weeks for about a year. Unlike bi-weekly injections of Enbrel which kept the beast at bay, the remicade cuts out 3 to 5 days before the next infusion. It's like hitting a wall. Otherwise I'm just swell.
