Olumiant and raised Lipids
I have been on the above medication for 3 years now and it works well. My Cholesterol levels are rising, now 6 and also raised Triglycerides. The GP has written to a senior Pathologist to seek advice. They have suggested Atorvastatin 20mg. My husband cannot take statins as upsets his stomach and my stomach

what would you do?
I’m now medication free as I have been waiting many weeks for the next treatment to arrive, now it has (
olumiant
). I feel pretty well and not like I have been for many years, I don’t feel drained due to any medication and very confused 🫤 I guess my question is, should I hang on to see?

Jak Inhibitors for Eczema
The derm I saw last week was one of the better ones I have seen and he has suggested a Jak Inhibitor called
Olumiant
. I have done some research and it doesn't come without potential risks, just wondering if anyone with skin issues has tried a Jak inhibitor and how they found them for the skin?

Olumiant/Baritinib users
I have started the above drug about two months ago and am having back, leg and arm aches and pains. Really can’t decide if I should stop the drug and see if it goes away or keep taking it in case it is RA related. These aches and pains would be new RA problems to me if they are RA related, so I am suspicious
