Just talked with her tonight. Hey Gigglz, thanks for calling I was napping,
and thanks for posting this.

I told Rosie I would post here and on AMF for her.

Rosie, can not type so it will be hard for her to answer any emails at all.

Fri, she was taken to the hospital with dizziness and voimitting and
slurring speech. She could not use her right hand or arm.She lost control of
her right arm. She was in and out of counsciousness and the bottom part of
her bp was 40. They were thinking stroke.

They did brain scan and other tests and said no stroke.
They said Brain scan normal
She got out of hospital Sun afternoon. She still has veritigo and still
can't do much with her arm right now. She can use it if she uses her other
hand/arm to move it.
She was also having trouble getting words out.

They are going to be sending her to the neurologist.

They are sending the results and tests over to her dr tomorrow.

They are thinking it might be neuroligical.

She is thinking it might be from one of the two meds she is on. One of those
being MTX and the other one started with A but now I can't remember it and
didn't get it wrote down.

So that is where she is at and she and her family could use your prayers
right now.

Thanks a bunch.

Thanks SJ, for letting us know. I wonder if it was Arava that she was
on. I am really worried about her. Please update when you hear more.

Thanks everybody for the news about Rosie.  I had some similar symptoms that
turned out to be seizures.  But I didn't have any loss of muscle control.
It sure does sound like medication reactions.  I'm glad they are on top of
it.  Prayers and hugs coming her way.

I wondered if it was abatacept she was on - I seem to recall seeing a post
saying her doctor was suggesting it (that would be orencia as another name).
Give her my best if anyone is talking to her - she is in my thoughts.
