Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Arthritis / March 2006Update on Firechief
He said him and Mary are dancing 2 - 4 nights a week. He has had 6 doses of Enbrel and no effect yet. They were off to Palm Springs I believe last weekend. He says that Mary is thinking of retiring but not sure yet. He said to say hi to everyone on ASA and thank them for the cards at Christmas. Any responses I will print out and send to him.  SignatureHugs, prayers, good thoughts, Warm fuzzies, TLC, and Love Squirrely Jo Hi SJ,,,, Just tell him that we miss him and that we wish he and his wife well.

Harv, Janice, Nann, I am passing your posts on to firechief. Nann, that was funny sharing the ad campaigns that firechiefs jokes brought to mind for you. Those were cute and I am sending a copy of your post to firechief, I am sure he will get a laugh out of it. Janice, I am still suffering as usual. Nothing odd about that. I am flaring and asthma, allergies stuff. I have trouble getting my drs in the past to give me pred and I am an asthmatic. So I think they all do that at times. I know some on ASA are getting treated with small doses of it. I need small doses of it to treat the addisons also but they don't seem to want to treat it either. I am so glad to see the ones that are being treated that their drs are not afraid to give it to them. Hope you are doing better and that once spring gets here, hopefully that will be the end of flaring for us all.

RB Please remove "Ima" to reply. >Someone have any information? I put out a bunch of information on it. It was originally approved for lymphoma so it is probably one of the best studied new arthritis drugs because of the number of RA/Lymphoma patients. Do a search on the newsgroup and a bunch of articles should come up. -- mz >Someone have any information?

It might be something good for Lupus and RA. I think you post this the first time Mary. sorry Harv I am pretty sure that when I saw my RD earlier this he said he was treating one of his patients with rituxan - (in the UK) Peter. Hi everyone, I was diagnosed with Non Hodgkin's Lymphoma in May 2005 and my Chemo protocol was R-Chop, the R was Rituxan. My new Rd intended to start me on Rituxan as soon as it was approved, but my Cancer Doc beat him to it. I start Rituxan in April, an infusion every week of the month which takes anywhere from 4 to 6 hours each time. I will do it again the same way in October. I am currently in remission and will test that again with a CT scan at the end of March. If not still in remission then I would restart R-Chop most likely. People with RA have a 30% chance of getting Lymphoma, so Rituxan is a great help in that respect. I do not feel as well now as I did when I was receiving the Rituxan as part of my chemo. Don Whitely > Good news, > Thumper miss him wish he was back on the puter. send him my regards janice How are you squirrelly? I have had several painful weeks. having a flare and a bout with sciatica. ortho gave me a through of prednisone and my pain is much less. they wont let me take it often. its a miracle drug but they sure wont give it to me often. do any of you have problem getting your doc to prescribe pred? take care | He said him and Mary are dancing 2 - 4 nights a week. | [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] | | Any responses I will print out and send to him. see below, I sent this a day or two ago, and didn't see it post. So trying again. SignatureHugs, prayers, good thoughts, Warm fuzzies, TLC, and Love Squirrely Jo > Harv, Janice, Nann, > [quoted text clipped - 18 lines] >> wife well. >> Harv |
