Berichtje van Nicola op facebook (N=5 nu)
Week 2 appointment today having started the next phase of clinical trials for Fligotinib. All went well and no problems noted, a smooth transition from the 6mth study to the 3 year.
Attending todays app was my Rheumy, the clinical trial nurse and my GP. I've not seen my GP in 7mths when I went to see her desperate for steroids and pain medications (which she duly provided) and on crutches being unable to walk unaided. To say my GP was impressed is an understatement.
So today we discussed reducing my steriod from 2.5mg to 1.5mg and eventually taking me off them completely and then reducing MTX :-)
I also found out that out of the 5 patients at my hospital on this trial 3 of them have responded as well as myself and one has improved but not as much, so it is suspected that they are on the lower dose. So this is looking like a very responsive medication. :-)
Hang in there folks a med is on its' way.......nx
