RA for me, with associaterd bronchiectasis, also have asthma and a range of allergies. Too many meds!!!!Including sulfasalazine, hydroxychloroquine, calcium with Vit D, Azithromycin antibiotic daily, carbocystine, antihistamine, montelukast(for asthma), ventolin, seratide, (inhalers), nasonex nasal spray, co-codamol dullers. The pharmacist now knows me by name and gives me a calender at christmas!!!!! Thank heavens for my prepayment prescription certificate.

But where would we all be without the meds? And aren't we glad that we live in Britain where we have a national health service.

Hope you're all having an okay kind of day-glad to say my steroid injection has clicked in and I'm feeling better!

Starburst

I have Rheumatoid Arthritis (both hands, wrists, feet and ankles) with a little bit of Osteoarthritis (left ankle and both knees) thrown in to join the party.

Meds: methotrexate (20mg injection) weekly, folic acid (6 times a week), celebrex (400mg) daily, co-codamol (30mg/500mg) as needed.

I'm very sensitive to medication and get a lot of side effects. My RA is not very well controlled but for me, trying different medications left me feeling worse.

valval

just reading this made me realise how many different treatments there are thanks guys for sharing so will not have to keep bugging you all val

Good idea for a thread, it's hard to remember what everyone has, especially if you can't come on as often as you'd like to.
I have PA, OA, Fibromyalgia.
I have Methotrexate 25mg inj. weekly
Folic acid 5mg 2 days after the MTX>
Celebrex 100mg twice a day if I need it but I don't normally stay on it more than a week at a time.
Temgesic 0.4mcg when I need them every 8 hours or so.
Paracetamol 1gram 6 hourly or so but I would not normally take more than twice a day.
Pregabalin, 75mg in the morning and 100mg at night.
Amitriptyline 25mg at night.
I do take other meds for other things as well, not relevant to the Arthritis.
Yes I rattle when I walk lol.
