*Tuberculosis

Those were only a few of the side effects I just heard on a commercial for this medicine.

Gee Whiz, I am so sorry for you guys that have this. Nowhere in my question did I imply that I have this or any other disease. I'm sorry if I led anyone to believe I did, but for gosh sakes, I hope somebody gets something out of all that cut-n-pasted stuff!

If you ever have rheumatoid arthritis you will understand that these are the most minor of inconveniences when compared to the pain. They will not make better medicine or find a cure because those options do NOT maximize profit. They will come out with "An All New" use for the old medicine to keep the "patent" and the profit. They are in it only for the money and you will suffer as you age. They are lying in wait for you right now testing the waters just to see how much you will put up with.

Imagine for a moment your arthritis completely vanishing right now.
If, in a moment, your pain and stiffness melted away. And your joints all of a sudden functioned like a well-oiled machine.
Like a magic wand was waived, you'd be able to jump up from your chair and run around the room like a kid.
And imagine that you'd never have to suffer as much as a pinch of arthritis stiffness or pain ever again.
I know this sounds impossible right now, but bear with me, because sometimes miracles happen.
It was a gift from a woman on the other side of the world. From the kindness of her heart, she took pity on my suffering and taught me how to completely reverse my arthritis.
Today, I want to do the same for you!

I am 18 yrs old and I've had rheumatoid arthritis since I was 14. Right now I am taking mannatech which is totally natural and it is definitely getting better but won't be cured for a couple years because it has to get my body to reproduce cartalidge.... I am on Methotrexate which can cause cancer and other problems but my goal is to get off of them by the time I'm 21. I sugegst you check out mannatech, otherwise... do what you have to do cause trust me I understand the pain. good luck... we're all here for you.

POTENTIAL side effects. If a drug causes any side effects in a test group, it is listed. Common side effects in almost all medications include nausea, vomitting, and severe allergic reactions as side effects. If the medicine would relieve the pain associated with rheumatoid arthritis, I would take it. You should see some of the side effects for cancer meds. I suppose if I wanted the chance to live a little longer, I would take those too.

Only as a last resort. I'd use natural remedies and dietary methods first. I've looked this up on the internet for clients before and there are a lot of foods to either avoid or eat regularly...plus stress reduction/relaxation tecniques.
Most of those drug commercials list a lot of side effects that are far worse than the actual condition.

No I wouldn't take those medications. There are other alternative ways to control rheumatoid arthritis.

So many ads are like that. It's legal disclaimers. Unfortunately sometimes the list of side effects are longer than the benefits. Many times I think the side effects listed are very rare, but have to be mentioned anyway.
I took a strawberry last night. It's possible that I may get diarhea, a high glucose reading, or even a red tongue. Call me careless, I just ate it anyway!!!

I have used two of the drugs that have these side effect warnings, Enbrel and Humira. I have been using these since 2000 and fortunately have had no side effects. The doctor will tell you that if one person has a side effect, they have to list it on the precautionary statements. Before you can start the injections, you have to have a TB test to make sure you are not carrying the disease. It is worth the risk if you have any relief and the doctors usually monitor you closely when ever you are on any of these drugs.

This is a really hard question for me to answer and lemme explain.
Yesterday, I ran a race and sat and talked to a man who ran it too who has R.A. It is mostly in his hands, but starting to affect one hip. He dearly loves to run and is a beloved member of our club. because of the disease, he has slowed considerably, understandably so. If I were him, I think I would take the drugs if it could prolong my weekend passion because to him, it is more than exercise, it is his social group too, all his friends.
Happy ending, yesterday, not many people competed in his age group, so he got a third place plaque. When he heard his name announced, he stood up and hollered YOU HAVE GOTTA BE SHI**IN' ME!!
