I was treated by Dr. James O'Dell at the Univ. of Nebraska with doxycyline, methotrexate, and prednisone. I had a large swelling on the back of the left hand and some swelling on the right wrist and ankle. It was pretty bad, I couldn't hold a golf club. Now I have regained full use of my left hand and have little sign of the disease. The amounts of doxycycline and steroids were gradually reduced and now I do not take any of these. The FAA was worried about the steroids, but granted a waiver.
