That was the first time I had slept for 5 days and nights and the first time I have slept through the pain barrier.matt

Hi Matt, sorry to hear that things are still so bad for you. I found out the name of the drug that someone we knew was put on when she suddenly developed severe RA. The drug is Methotrexate which is a drug used in chemotherapy but also in severe cases of psoriasis, RA and other illnesses. It's very effective in treating RA ( along with steroids) but the side effects are severe. I'm not sure that anyone with lung problems would be allowed to use it but I suppose it's worth mentioning to your rheumy doc. Good luck !

I was only allowed two RA meds because of my Lungs Hydroxy, Sulphasalazize, the only other options is Biological Agents again not without serious complications if I get a chest infection. matt

Hi Matt. I have Lupus and also all sorts of respiratory problems. Along with Hydroxychloroquine, I take Mycophenolate now as I didn't like Methotrexate and, like many on this drug, have noticed no side effects, no adverse effect on my already low WBC and no increase in infections. It is more expensive than many of the DMARDS.

Chronic pain sucks - as does not being able to breathe and I feel for you. The long sleep must have been gorgeous but I know the payback in morning stiffness. Keep warm and best wishes. Clare x
