:depressed: My flare started with low bowel issues-ulceration, pain, low grade fevers, night sweats. I've been on prednisone. cortifoam, and Rowasa, in addition to Methotrexate 20mg and Pentasa.
Then the joint pain in my hips/hands/feet/knees started and it is terrible, even painkillers aren't working. I am miserable and so sad because I'm in constant pain and exhausted.
My Rheumatologist put me on Arava and has suggested a large dose of Remicade to break the flare, then tapering off of it and staying on Arava.
Has anyone done this? Thoughts please.
