The end of an affair and nasty side effects

Ahh the love affair is starting to fizzle. I have been stepping down the last few weeks from prednisone and have finally reached the maintance dose that I will hold steady at for the next few weeks until my methotrexate and Humira kick in.

I'm in love with a drug

I'm in love with a drug! I have been taking prednisone for 8 days and I love it - despite all its flaws.

Remicade is going.........

OK, so I started the infusions about 1 and 1/2 months ago and all seems to be going. That's it , just going. I have no side effects, no allergic reactions and it really feels almost like a spa day at the infusion center. But......I feel worse than I did when they started. more joint pain, more fatigue, more stiffness. I understand that right now... Read more Chevron
