Hi All,
Well I am officially off my prednisone after 8 months & 48 lbs of body weight added.....WOW... now hopefully I will get an opportunity to take some of this weight off. My hands have been flaring up this past month but I've been working alot with my hands between Sub-teaching, photography work & some gardening planting. Still on the methotrexate.....can anyone give me an idea of what to add to my meth regimen to help with the flare-up.....I can't use anti-inflamatories because of contraindication to my blood thinner...any advice would be helpful....Thank You!
Take Care All, God Blesss,
Connie
Hi Connie, it's good to hear that you were able to get off that pesky prednisone! Are you currently on Plaquenil? It's not technically an antiflammatory, its a disease modifying antirheumatic drug and it's not bad. Now if you want to go the natural route, fish oil is wonderful. It's a purely natural way to combat inflammation in your body. I would check with the good ol'e rheumatologist first though. Good luck and best wishes!
