“For about a year, I was feeling run down and experiencing increased stiffness and joint pain. It was April 2010 when I was formally diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis. I felt that I needed a second opinion and that’s when I came to see Dr. Wei, whose office is more than 85 miles away from my home. As a pilot I am very concerned about the potential side effects of the drugs taken for my disease. Dr. Wei began an aggressive treatment plan of Methotrexate and Enbrel. He and his staff were very helpful in making sure I understood what I was taking, the importance of monitoring my blood levels frequently, and keeping regular appointments. It’s been about two months, and it’s the best I’ve felt in more than a year. I am able to enjoy gardening, and I look forward to returning to golf.” Anonymous |
