Hi I do amongst other things, how can I help? X
I just got diagnosed with overlap rheumatoid arthritis.
This is a very common autoimmune disease that often accompanies PBC - also Sjogrens and osteoarthritis. What treatment are you receiving for it?
tried Plaquenil, which is common for Sjogren’s as well. Too many bad side effects. Low dose prednisone now. We’re restricted on some drugs (methodexrate) due to liver damage.

I am not familiar with this. I'm posting some information about it for everyone to help understand what it is. mayoclinic.org/diseases-con...
I started this thread awhile ago here for users that have overlap, all self reported
Yes, I have both. PMR was diagnosed first and was probably what led to the PBC, which was up until recently diagnosed as inflammatory hepatitis.
I have both. PBC first, diagnosed 15yrs agoand managed extremely well on Ursofalk its a breeze compared to my journey with. PMR diagnosed 5yrs ago !! Lots of side effects from the medications.
