Hi Amy, I was on weekly Methotrexate for about 10 months, and I did notice I felt really tired and nauseous for 2 days afterwards (I took pills not injections). It didn't seem to improve for me, so I stopped taking it once I was established on Humira. I hope it gets better for you if you stick...

Aw, Kelly, I hope you feel better soon! I suggest drinking hot tea and chicken broth, and tylenol... And keep up with as much rest as you can get!

Ha, Jenn, that's exactly what I'm doing! :) I don't have anyone here to go with so I am going to see it by myself tomorrow! I'd go with you - only, I'm in Winnipeg. :P The last day is on Sunday, and I want to see it before it's gone! Hope you get to see it soon!

You're welcome, Nytefyre! The course was offered free-of-charge through my local health authority, and it was suggested to me by my therapist. It was called "Getting Better Together", in case it is offered in other communities. I found it to be pretty interesting, and I saw how having...

I took an 8-week course dealing with chronic illness, and this was the book we used: Living a Healthy Life with Chronic Conditions, 3rd Edition Kate Lorig, R.N., Dr.P.H., Halsted Holman, M.D., David Sobel, M.D., Diana Laurent, M.P.H., Virginia Gonzalez, M.P.H., Marian Minor, R.P.T., Ph.D. ISBN...

How often do you take the Humira? If you take it every two weeks, maybe your doc could put you on weekly injections to see if that helps? Good luck with your tests, and hope you feel better soon!!

Hi Jamie! Hope we can be of some help. What do you mean, it feels 'weird' around the injection site? Is it swollen/bruised/itching/numb/hot? I have been on Humira for 11 months, and I can't say that I ever noticed that it made me feel bloated. When I started Humira, it took 3 months for...

I hope it's just a bug - there's been all kinds of germs going around... Could anything in the last 3 weeks have triggered a flare? Something you ate/stress/etc? Keep hydrated and get lots of rest and hopefully it clears up in a few days!!

Hi Rob, good to see ya! How are you doing?

Really, I like all dogs but I'm partial to Akitas, because my last dog, Lola was an Akita and my current dog is an Akita mix. They are very loyal and intelligent dogs. And so cute! I like big, huggable dogs, but maybe that's because I grew up with a Black Lab... :)

Hi, guys... I've noticed some numbness and tingling in my left leg for the past couple of months. It goes from my hip down to my foot. It doesn't bother me all the time, and seems to be only when I am standing or walking. It's not really painful - just annoying. Has anyone else experienced...

My advice is, ask your doc for a different prep! The last prep I used was Dulcolax along with Pico Salax. It involves swallowing a few pills, and drinking just a cup of the the Pico Salax each time (there are 2 packets)... It is SOOOOO much better than the Peglyte/GoLytely yucky stuff. I...

Oh yeah, also; take your pred very early in the AM.... or else, you'll be up all night.

-Take 30 mg of pred when I get home from work, about 2hrs before injection time. -Take syringe out of fridge about 30 mins before injection time. -Set up the area with disposal container, paper towels, syringe. -Call my favorite person for support. -Wash my hands. -Ice the area. -Swab area on...
