    Wish me luck!

    :) Good luck, I'm sure he'll be fine! My dog was on a course of pred for a really bad ear infection - granted, she is a lot bigger than a JR, but the entire treatment was maybe 7-10 days, with doses every day for the first few days, then every second day. How much pred is the little guy going...

    Today boredom is cutting through my heart like a knife

    Awww, 'bloop, I know how you feel, I've been there - even if you could go out, it's too cold to do anything! ;) Just focus on resting and healing; be good to yourself. You will feel better one day... I hope it's sooner than later... but until then, lie back, lounge, read some books, watch...

    420 anyone?

    I think I'll be joining you... I'm snowed in, sore from shovelling, and bored as F*@#$. It will technically be 3:20 here, but hey - it will be 4:20 over there, so that counts, right??? :)

    About to start taking Imuran... Would like some imput!

    Hi Megan, definitely split the dose to help reduce nausea. For the first few weeks, you might feel nauseous regardless, but it should go away. Hope it works out for you!

    Just Someone to Talk to

    Hey JohnO, I know how you're feeling - I was on Humira for 3 months before I could tell it was doing anything for me... Like someone else mentioned, weekly injections are an option. Hang in there, things will get better eventually - I wish it could be sooner than later... :S We're always here.

    Pen vs Syringe

    I use the syringe. I have never used the pen, but the cost of both is the same. It just comes down to personal preference, I guess. I have heard that the syringe needle is thinner, and I also like the fact that I can control the speed of the injection.

    Cimzia

    There is a Cimzia club on the forum, you should check it out. I don't know much about it, other than it is similar to Humira, taken by injection. When I am on pred, I take extra Calcium and Vit D... you should probably do the same. It couldn't hurt to take a multivitamin, too. Hope you...

    My Humira Syringe Disposal Service

    Hmmm, I've been on Humira for almost a year and have never heard of that service. Could be because I am in Canada, though. I bring my sharps container to my local pharmacy, and they dispose of it.

    Do I have to start at 40mg of prednisone?

    Why did your doc prescribe it - How bad are your symptoms? If you start at any lower than 40mg, you might not get any relief... You could hold off if you don't think it's necessary, but if you wait too long, you might end up needing 50 or 60mg to get your flare under control. Two weeks is a...

    Memory Lane

    Ahhh, yes, I remember those days! Super Mario 2 was my favorite game to rent, loved it! Ha, as I'm sure you would guess, I would get so excited about getting to play the Princess! When Super Mario 3 came out, my parents actually bought it - I was VERY popular with the boys that year... ;)

    Yup, snowy but not too cold - it's going to get real cold later this week! Are you in the 'Peg, too?!

    All things Cannabis

    I generally prefer sativas, because I feel like I can still physically get up and do things, rather than indica-heavy strains, where I feel like I don't want to move. However, too much of a strong sativa will make me paranoid... I've had Jack Herer a few times from a reputable source in BC...
