I don't want to take anything that needs tapering to get off and that has the side-effects most people report.

Well, I'm 52 in age and 25 in my brain.

I asked during the blood test and they said they were testing the B12.

I thought D was one of those vitamins that can be toxic in large amounts.

Also, another symptom from the Jan flare came up last night - when I let out my breath (like when you relax), the bottom of my lungs feels 'weird' (can't really explain the sensation-maybe tingling/burning/scratchy/irritating?) and I start dry coughing.

My various arthritis/costochondritis and related have been helped different meds. I guess I should have posted my med list:

Once a week:

• Enbrel injection (I administer for arthritis, costochondritis and related)
• Methotrexate 2.5 mg – eight tabs once a week (arthritis, costochondritis and related)
• Actonel 35mg once-a-week if I remember (osteoporosis)

Daily:

• Synthroid .175mcg – once a day (I have no thyroid)
• Lisinopril/HCTZ Tabs - one half tab daily (slightly high blood pressure)
• Hydroxychloroquine 200 mg –two daily (arthritis and related)
• Calcium with D 600 mg – two tabs once a day when I remember (osteoporosis)
