What Other Medications Do You Take For What Symptoms?

I also take Plaquenil 400 mg

Other medications:
Tramadol 200 mg extended release 1x a day
Tramadol 50 mg instant release 2x a day
Vicodin PRN for pain as well 2x a day, if needed.

I also take supplements:

Vitamin D 2,000 IU's per day
B-Complex
Iron

I was taking Neurontin but I had no benefit, so we stopped that.

Not sure what is on the agenda for meds in the future but I am glad my doctors are working together and are on board for helping me.... what a relief!

I can't speak to the medications - my rheumatologist doesn't want to prescribe anything until absolutely necessary, so just supplements, healthy diet, yoga and a few OTC meds for me - but I want to comment about gluten intolerance. I have read quite a bit about people with autoimmune disease being gluten intolerant, though not usually to the point of Celiac. At my last rheumatologist appt., my doctor suggested I try to avoid gluten - actually before I remembered to ask her. But if your sister is full- fledged Celiac, it is reasonable to assume you may also be intolerant. It is certainly worth trying. You may even be able to reduce the meds you are currently taking.
