My consultant told me upto 3 months, sounds like you need someting else, I did read your blog also and hopefully you'll get it sorted soon.

It didn't work for me either but I am now on one that does, I feel 90% better, I know this is hard for you but you will get there.

I was given 3 different medications all at once so after 6 months with not much improvement I was given and anti-tnf/biologic, within 2 months I was better.

Have you been offered a steroid injection? seems like most of us on this site, newly diagnosed get this and for most of us, gives a huge relief until your medications start to work.
