Now are you sure it was a dcotor you saw and not a vet seeing as its the same tabs as poor tigger had lol. Hope all the blood tests help them to put you on the right meds.

Sorry but I had to laugh I hope ZB saw it that way!

Good Luck with the new meds x

Hi ZB, I couldn't help notice this post and that you suffer from Rheumatoid Arthritis . . . . . I can totally sympathise with you on what you are going through as I myself suffer from Psoriatic Arthritis which has exactly the same symptoms , the only difference being they know the cause . . !!
I used to take Sulphasalazine but now I'm on methotrexate as well as that I have to attend hospital every month where I am infused with a drug called Infliximab (remicade) , this stuff has done wonders for me . .

If there is anything I can help you with, please don't hesitate to PM me.

Big Hugs to you babe x x x

Thank's Shane, Started the med's yesterday feel crap already, so we decided to leave them til easter sunday rather than me being ill and spoiling it for the kids, aside I've already have a sore tongue and throat after 2 weeks off antibiotic's for a chest infection.
So I figured out if I get rid of the sore tongue then il know were the side effect's are coming from.

You are more than welcome babes, I think I felt pretty crap when I first started taking them but the body soon gets used to them, if not go back to your Rheumatologist he might have something else that would be better. If there is anything I can do that you think might help just PM me , I have the email address of a fantastic Rheumatology Nurse Specialist who I met doing some Radio Interviews about the drug I'm on.

Anyway you know where I am if you need any support.
