Severe Stiffness. On Glucasomine And Tylenol. History Of Acute RA With Ear Infection, Cough, Bleeding In Colon. Suggested Simponi Instead Of Enbrel. Guide

YES thank you. I've been on enbrel and then my Dr. switched me on to Simponi. I've got acute RA and then i started geting very sick - so sick i went into emerg. ear infection, bad cough,cold fever - chills and then frequent movements of the colon and bleeding too - i was also taking celebrex daily and my vitamins.
my Dr. then stopped all medications including simponi (i am not going back to that) and asked me to stay with tylenol arthritis for a while.
I now wake up with severe stiffness - i take 2 pills of glucasomine and tylenol 1 pill - any suggestions

Hi, the stiff ness you are facing might not be due to the RA only, it may be due to convalascence from the viral infection. Any how now what you want is the relief.
i to my patient with such pains prescribe injection of vitamin Bcomplex 1, 6, and 12. for 10 consecutive days, and then one injection every week, along with the pain killers. Thank you.
