Hi everyone, so im in my 3rd week of steroid infusions, my methotrexate has been upped to 25mg a week now, i had some scans last week and there was still active inflammation my consultant has now decided to intensify my teatments after seeing damage in my shoulders, im not getting any relief yet and today im suffering a very big flare up but im hopeful things will improve soon, i hope you are all feeling as well as possible and try to enjoy this lovely sunshine.

Hi AJhowell16,

Hope you get some relief soon. Unfortunately it can take a while for the meds to kick in. Fingers crossed for you that it happens soon,

Regards

Hi Beverley,

Thanks for the message, my consultant seems much more proactive since my scan results came back, hopefully things will settle down soon.

Regards

AJ
