I have been on three different medications for RA and the only one that has made any difference is mtx. Enbrel made me worse in combination with the mtx. Now I'm supposed to be taking plaquenil and mtx but the plaquenil caused severe stomach issues. Have any of you had so much problem with your meds that nothing worked? How many more medications will it take to figure out what I need to be on? It is really disheartening and I'm tired of switching back and forth. I know something should help me. I hated the enbrel it was painful to inject and I felt like it made my RA worse. The mtx still helps but only to some degree, the plaquenil, it was bothering my stomach so much I was practically on a liquid diet! Everything I ate made me sick. I was that way for over a month. All I could eat was veggies and smoothies. Anything soft was ok too but couldn't be greasy at all! What can I try now? Any suggestions to talk to my rheumy about
Thanks
