Of course it did not work but was found to be a good treatment for some kinds of RA. I was on that for 7 years but then developed antibodies so it did not work, then went to a tier 6, then tier 7 drug. Eventually you just have to take stronger or newer drugs. All are T-cell modifiers involving immune suppression. They work with side affects. You have to be willing to live with side affects. :) like toilet day? Anyway I have had this orally, shots in the stomach once a week. Drip in, once a month in the hospital, now it is oral 2 times a day. Fun with Kim I try not to dwell.

I am monitored very carefully.

Hated it, in fact.<br />Feel better, and take it easy on yourself.Meg B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09871105973774159424noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6809809639444040308.post-88124863107151482812017-05-07T08:20:33.462-07:002017-05-07T08:20:33.462-07:00Yes, I didn't know about the chemo either??

The ex-governor's wife walked her child to school in her nightgown and bathrobe. Sometimes, she even went in to talk to teachers dressed that way. So, I suppose it is not too scandalous for you to meet dance mothers in PJs. If you are like me, you may have to pay someone to fix that button.Practical Parsimonyhttp://www.practical-parsimony.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.com
