Subject: Starting Infliximab & DLA Advice
Hi All My consultant has managed to push my case through quicker I start Infliximab on Thursday after reacting to other anti-tnf. I am so glad as after two weeks of not having other one (Enbrel Pen ?sp?) I have been in so much pain again despite all my other drugs. Does anyone know what I should expect never had an infusion??? Also I am thinking of re-applying to disability allowance as a I was declined before but its not getting any better and now i'm on second anti-tnf treatment. When I last applied I was just about to start methotrexate but now I have been on that, and tried one lot of anti-tnf. Has anyone got any advice about applying - as obviously some days are worse than others but no matter what I am limited due to pain, stiffness and fatigue on top of the sife-affects of methotrexate and prednisolone! I hate filling in forms and I hate thinking about what I can't do and always try to grin and bear it for sake of my 3 year old who I am on my own with, despite the pain and limitations ! Thanks in advance for advice x x
