As far as my own journey is concerned..I took my fourth dose of mtx yesterday..n despite it being a bit tricky in the initial stages..I'm now feeling over the worst (for now)!! Had a flare (as expected) but I'm now really pleased with how it's going!! I've had no stomach issues so I can take them orally..n I'm having bloods done every two weeks which is a bit of a pain but hey..all in all..all is well in my world right now!! So I just wanted to share my news with u all because you're all fabulous!! π€ππ€ππ€ππ€
Pic is of my left hand during recent flare..when this happens I am pretty useless..with me it seems to be more on left side although right side often joins the party!! πBut hey right now..today..in this moment π₯ things r good!!

Happy New Year to u Coco..we spent last summer struggling through the shingles experience n your information n support kept us going..cyber handholding all the way π€π€π€
Thank u Sue_petal for your concern π€π€ Happy New Year to u!!
In answer to your question..yes I see a dermy n my GP is great!! I have all the lotions n potions because my skin is most affected by lupus!! I have betnovate n dermovate ointment which as u know r two different strengths..n I have fludroxycortide surgical tape to wrap around my fingers when they're probing difficult to heal..or cracking n splitting!! I use Dermol 500 lotion all the time n I have to keep dressing my feet coz the soles r pretty much the same as my palms!! When I flare I'm pretty much crippled!! ππ
However I'm very relieved n happy to be posting here again..I miss u all when I can't participate!!
OMG that looks soooo sore!!! You have been so brave and strong. So delighted meds working and that you can face this new year and decade with optimism. Great to hear your news as always. Happy and healthier new year, with my very best best wishes and large hugs, Lily
Last year I was fortunate enough to invest in a lupus handbook..u may of heard of it..it's called How To Stay Sane In Pain?!?! Believe me that book has been priceless to me!! So u especially r with me during the tough times..right here in my living room!! ππ
