I had an interesting appt. with my rhuemy today and thought I would share what happened. As you all know I have been on the NSD for 8 months, sulfasalazine for 10 months and recently started mthx. 2 months ago.
Now the sulfa has helped, the diet has helped but I seem to be stuck and not making any progress. My rhuemy thinks that I do not have active inflammation at this point and the pain I am experiencing is nerve and soft tissue damage. So she wants me to make an extra effort to excercise every day, take amytriphtoline at night to sleep and nuerontin for the nerve pain and see if that helps. She said to stop the mthx. as it has not made any difference to date.
I am not sure if I totally agree with her but I really have no choice but to try. I do excercise most days but propably not every day and have joined yoga and it doesn't make things worse. So possibly this is why the diet does not appear to work for me?
Does this make sense to anyone? What do you think?
There is no drug stronger than a good attitude.
