I had infusions in May. Best thing ever.

Sorry you had bad experience. My first took 6 hours, and second a week later took about 5 hours.

I'm really happy with treatment so far. My next ones are in November...best nurses EVER

Great to hear it is working for you. Are you still on MTX ?

Having a nurse and doctors you trust is essential. The anxiety from nurse ratchet sent my BP into the stratosphere.

My Rheumy probably cancelled the second one because I was so wigged out. Now not until Dec. yippee. So I will follow through with promise to combine the two until then. If I still see no change then I am done. It or MTX just makes me feel gross.

I went out and booked a whale watching excursion for Saturday. If I am going to be in pain I may as well have some fun first.

I am not in methotrexate. I take Arabs

Whale watching calming and exciting. Enjoy
