Ok, I take the sublingual, but am still tired and worn out.  I thought it was just the rheumatoid arthritis, but do most of you take the shots, too?  I need to look into that.   


I know several of you are also nurses.  Is the problem with NSAIDs that they have to be taken orally and therefore, stay in the pouch which causes ulcers.   And if the NSAIDs were injections,  could one take the NSAIDs for the arthritis and not risk ulcers?  


Two NSAIDs for arthritis are now injectionable, Embrel and humira are two that seem to be popular.  Does anyone know or have tried these?

Karla, John takes the Embrel shots.  They help him.   He takes one shot a week and it seems to do great for him.  They had offered the humira, but he chose the Embrel because evidently, he would have to be hooked up to an I.V. for the humira.  (I think that is what he told me, anyway.) 

I take sublingual B-12 too, but I also take a shot once a month.

Don't like the idea of being hooked up to an IV?   I want something that I can just "shoot up" myself and not have to go to the dr's. office.   Sounds like Embrel is the best choice.  I may need to talk to my PCP about B-12 shots.

Karla when I worked for the Rhematolgist we prescribed a lot of the Embrel for our patients. Insurance was good about paying. If I can help you anyway with the Embrel let me know. I did at one time work as a licensed nurse and did go to nursing school.

Did I miss the inhaler display today?

There was a display there and I talked to the lady for a minute about the inhaler, but I just wanted some suggestions from some who have actually used it.  It was great seeing you and that beautiful daughter of yours yesterday, Angie.  Love you!!!
