Granuloma annulare and RA

[Juniperdh]

Hello everyone. I was diagnosed with RA 18 months ago, but have had Granuloma Annulare for probably 15 years. A very fortunate effect of Methotrexate is that it has almost completely cleared my granuloma, which covered every limb.

Just wondered how many of you also have granuloma annulare?

Hi

I hadn’t heard of that condition before, just had a google!

How interesting that your methotrexate Has cleared it up after all that time!

All the best to you and hope your meds are also helping calm your RA symptoms xx

Hi Ssmart. Thank you, the methotrexate is definitely working well

It’s not something that I’d heard of before, but looks very unpleasant for you. Glad to hear the mtx is helping - wish it would do the same for my psoriasis as had been hoped! 😞

Inflammation in this condition is mediated by tumour necrosis factor alpha (TNFα). It's really good to hear that the methotrexate is controlling it. I hope it's controlling the Rheumatoid Disease as well?
