Hello,

I am the same as you. I have tried 3 different DMARDS. I have had reactions from all of those. I am hopefully going onto Biologics soon. I am going on Monday to see the BIologics nurse.

I am in agony today and I am very swollen and stiff. I hope you get the go ahead for them too.

Yes yesterday I was feeling a bit better and thought I'm might contemplate going back to work in glad I didn't today I can hardly walk and have no energy at all but I suppose this is why this disease is so hard to cope with

Great step forward! We are so lucky that these drugs have been developed in the last twenty years and I hope this one sorts you out X

All the best to you!
