Hi friends,

I went to the Rhumy today. He gave an injection. He increased Methotrexate dose to 5 tablets, added Arava and Decaquinon. Every alternative day he gave Thyrosit.

My Rhumy said not to take bio magnesium. He said I'll have heart problem if I take them.

My question is ,when I browsed on the internet it says about treating RA and that it also cures heart attacks. Now I'm confused,do any one have suggestion on this. It'll be appreciated and will be kind of you friends.

    Arava works wonders for me, I noticed a big diffrence within a week with the amount of swelling and pressure in my joints.

    Only issue I had with Arava I was on 20mg dose, is I developed a feeling of being not well and having a headache, blood pressure dangerously high, I had to come off the Arava urgently,apparenly only about 2% have blood pressure issues with it.

    Other side effect of Arava is loose bowels, I take mine at night, so when I wake up in the morning go to the toilet and OK for the rest of the day, my family know not to be using my toilet at any time during the morning, not recommended, when you need to go, YOU NEED TO GO NOW!!!!!.

    Am back on Arava 10mg dose, it seems I can tolerate that amount and it dose work although not as well as 20mg dose.

    Best wishes hope it works for you.
