    Hi everyone,

    As you know I for a variety of reasons in Jan/Feb tested for 2 wks mtx (which is 2 tablets) & then for 2 wks arava (1 a day) and was severely allergic to both. Rheumy told me to go back onto AP as it had worked for me for some 7 or so years.

    Well long story short — I have been having flares off and on for the last 5 mths (probably herx’s) – not unbearable but still bad, and in the middle of that the tendons at the back of my knees (not the joints) were playing up for some reason — everyone put it down to my PRA/RA/Fibro — however I have never had any issues with my legs/knees/ankles so, at my insistence, I had an ultrasound yesterday and they found a ruptured bakers cyst — & my blood tests came back today and levels are way down — seems everyone was barking up the wrong tree…lol

    My arthritis is actually back under control & rest will fix the rupture and the herxing has stopped so I am virtually pain free again.

    Jumping for joy at my end.

    Can’t believe that messing with my immune system for such a short period of time took so long to get things back to my normal.

    Dec07: Diagnosed PRA, (CTD; Fibromyalgia; suspected Lyme):

    Good to hear. About as bad as being treated for ra and not having it.
