Had visit and saw practice nurse and then the consultant. They agreed my hand was a big flare up and put me on a six week prednisone treatment with a return visit in six weeks. They were so kind and understanding I could not believe it! Bought them a box of biscuits to say thanks. Will keep you posted. 🤩

Glad you got a result. The Preds should work pretty quick. Xx
Good to hear you had a good appointment and hope it's not long before Pred works for you and you get some relief. Take care x
Thanks for the update Green, hope the prednisone starts to work quickly for you.
I think the Pred will do the trick. 🙏🏻💗
Ooh that looks uncomfortable. Hope the Prednisolone helps the swelling go down soon for you.
Ouch - that looks painful! I’m in a flare atm too - probably because I’m in the process of moving from mtx to leflunomide and neither are working yet.
I had the same problem a few years ago , Prednisone sorted it out , Im sure that will go down x
