Topic: RE: 4 days post op rny and taking rheumatoid meds HELP
Oh and I told my Rheumy that I wanted nothing else to do with Prednisone, because I gained so much weight with it and I wanted every opportunity available to lose all the weight I could. That's when he changed me to Humira post op.

Yes, definitely do what works best for you. I would also put the crushed meds into a small amount of water that i could get down, with a small gulp. Put some in your protein and peanut butter too for variety if your tired of the applesauce.

thank you for considering a help. I am doing fine with the applesauce BUT I have so much medicine to crush seems like I am havinig a lot of applesauce. sometimes have to pause for awhile to get it all in.....the sound of different type of meds sounds attractive but none of us wants to mess with success and this is the formula that has been working for me.....just glad to have a remedy for getting the meds in each day.....thanks again..

That's exactly what I was going to suggest. I have RA, but I take Humira injections and Methotrexate, but in the beginning I crushed everything. I just recently started swallowing whole vitamins.

Thanks, I have been taking Celebrex and it is helping but I am almost out and the price is a little too much so I'm going to have to find something other than that. Any suggestions ? So far Celebrex is good for me.
Thanks again

Hello There.. although I did not have RNY, I had the lapband, but I have RA and I take the prednisone like you  mentioned.

I do believe that the prednisone hindered my weightloss... but the pain from the RA was so intense, that weightloss was not on my mind.

As far as taking all the meds at once, try it out and see what happens...

I hope you feel better!! :)

I have rhumatoid arthritis and psoriatic arthritis and that is the way my hands felt in the mornings before I started treatment. Sometimes they feel like that all day or off and on through the day. Get it checked soon...if it is RA the sooner you start treatment the better.
