Hello and Happy Spring to ya'all!

I am greatly enjoying the spring wildflowers, hiking the trails and enjoying
my national park; however, the OA is really bad and I'm currently doing a
4mg medrol pak and not a lot of relief there.

I was recently advised by you all, that I should start a DMARD - well, I
have trouble with all of the pills - side affects, sore mouth, chest
pressure, etc., etc.,  I'm suffering with the medrol right n ow, diarhhea
and sick stomach, but soon finished with it.

I need suggestions as to what you all have tried -when sensitive - and what
works for you.  The doctor has never encouraged me to use them due to
infections, etc.  Scares me off of them!

I'm having as much trouble just getting in to see the doctor - nothing but
phone tag!  So frustrating there.

As always, I appreciate your input -

Be well, be happy,
Hiker
