Amgevita
I was diagnosed 18 months ago with Rheumatoid Arthritis. I am on 400 Hydroxychloroquine (daily) & 25 methotrexate injection (weekly) Due to my DAS score I have now been asked if I wish to go on Amgevita. Anyone like to add comments to help me decide? 😊

Conflicts with dermatologist vs rheumatologist. PsA and methotrexate
Just went for my annual dermatologist check up. Although my psoriasis is a mild case and responding to treatment, she stated that Methotrexate that I am on for my PsA is not recommended. The doctor went into depressing details about what it is doing to my body and freaking me out! She even advised that

Pain killers
Do any of you get a guilty feeling when you are on long term pain killers? Practically everywhere you read "do not take for more than 10 days". How does that fit in with aggressive arthritis over many years?

Natural Fatigue Remedies
Hi all, I have MCAS and an autoinflammatory disease. I am on quite a few meds and I have to use stimulants (think Ritalin) to get through the day. Sigh. As I am also trying to get off prednisone its getting even worse now. Does anyone have any recommendations?

Finding out
When my Dr got an x-ray on my knees she got her receptionist to call and leave me a message on the phone that I had osteoarthritis in both knees. There was no message for me to come in to see her to discuss the matter. I was pissed off that she wouldn't call herself and ask me to come in to see her
