I am going to get back into diving after a long absence because it will provide physical challenges for me since I am limited by Rheumatoid Arthritis.
My question is about the meds I am taking for it and other things.
I take Arava (20mg daily), Methotrexate (15mg weekly), Relafen (1250mg daily) and occasionally Prednisone (up to 10mg daily and tapering back down for a few days, then no Pred for a few months) for the RA. Diovan for moderate hypertension and Claritin for hay fever and cat allergies.
I have not spoken to my doctor about diving yet, but am curious if there are any specific problems with the meds or the disease itself that will preclude me from getting back into diving.
Thanks.
