Excellent! I’ve been looking at this but not sure I could get it. Just had my first steroid injection as it was getting I couldn’t use my hands, especially my right hand (I’m right handed). Before the injection I couldn’t peel veg, pick up a kettle, open jars etc. I can still feel the osteoarthritis in my big joints but at the moment the jab has sorted my small joints.I’ve been seropositive for a while now with no small joint probs but that changed overnight 2 months ago. So last Monday I was told I now have RA. I think they are going to put me on methotrexate but have me a steroid jab in my bum muscle to speed things along.

I must say after reading the booklet about methotrexate I’m scared stupid of taking it when they give it to me!

It works amazingly for some people it didn’t for me unfortunately as I got terrible migraine with it I’ve tried loads only one that helps

Me now is golimumab I have monthly injections please apply I just never know good luck x
