acupuncture or massage therapy

Hello all- Well, the last 2 weeks have been interesting ones for me. First, my shoulder flared up. It was very painful and I couldn't sleep. Went to the doc and to my rheumy. The doc gave me "Michael Jackson" drugs for the pain and my rheumy put me on Lyrica. As if I am not taking enough stuff already!!! I decided to try a... Read more Chevron

Enbrel and Alchohol

Ok my peeps, talk to me! I'm off the arava and mtx, my hairloss was clogging the vacuum. (Wish I was joking....!?!) I'm now on my second week of Enbrel. Can't claim I've experienced a miracle yet.

I've got an Dx, but it's not what I expected: Sjogren's

I want to start by thanking everyone for the great advice. I did get my Celebrex approved and I'm starting on Prednisone.
