Do You Know If Treatment Plans For Patients Prove Effective When Taking Plaquenil Daily And Methotrexate (60 Mgs) 1 Day A Week?
I was diagnosed with RA 7 months ago. My Rheumatologist is great and because I am on many other meds, both he & I have agreed to be somewhat conservative. I still experience joint pain and some swelling of specific joints. Just wondering if it is a normal situation for RA or do I need to be open to a more aggressive treatment regimen.
Hi Donna! I've added you on my team.
Just saying you are lucky with no weight gain. My nurse said it was from the prednisone but I've been off of it for over a year. Maybe I need to work harder at exercising but that's a lot of work!😅 Have a great day !🌺
I have had no weight with any. Ed’s. Sometimes I even ce cream for lunch and I am still a scrawny chicken. Hope to gain a few pounds soon.
Oops! I made a mistake. I was on prednisone & it made me gain the weight. Sorry for the mistake.
@A myRAteam Member which medicine caused weight gain for you?
I was on Methotrexate 1 Mil shot weekly & plaquenil & I did well but didn't like the weight gain & bloating feeling. I got off the plaquenil after healing from my surgery & back on Enbrel. I was also taking sulfasalazine & hydrochloroquine. Now I'm on Enbrel & methotrexate & it's not working so I started taking my hydrochloroquine too but still in pain, so it's time to go back & see my doctor.
I Have Had RA For Years And My Dr. NEVER Been Treated With Anything Other Than Methotrexate And That Didn't Even Make A Dent. I Also Have
Does Anyone Take Just Plaquenil Alone For Their RA?
