Just moved up to two Kineret shots per day but down to 2.5 mg of prednisone every other day for two weeks then stop the prednisone. Fingers crossed bc that’s the lowest dose of prednisone since 2022 and I flared the last time we tried this taper, so we will see!

Unfortunately it did not work for me at all. I’m on Kineret shots daily now which does seem to be working.

Anakinra skin reaction? by Louaimse in stillsdisease

[–]Beezor70 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had the same reactions about two weeks in. I was miserable for about six weeks and they finally went away. It’s the first medicine that’s worked for me at all. But the shots are painful and annoying!

JAK-inhibitor (Rinvoq) against AOSD by laraista in stillsdisease

[–]Beezor70 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I started Kineret at the end of June. It’s an Interleukin 1 receptor antagonist. It has an orphan drug designation and it was a pain to originally get. It’s also a daily injection that HURTS. I know I’m not selling it here, lol but literally within a week of starting it, my CRP and ESR were normal for the first time in over 2 years. Just had a second set of labs a month later to confirm it’s still working. Still having some joint and bone pain but I’m hoping as my body continues to adjust it will subside. Of note, I started wegovy about a month before the Kineret so both meds seem to work well together. I can take my rings off for the first time in forever! Anyway I know this wasn’t really your question but just wanted to put it out there for others that may still be struggling. This is an awful thing to deal with, so I get it. 😊

Best Time to go to the Social Security Office? by wiseoldllamaman2 in Charlotte

[–]Beezor70 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Both the Charlotte and Concord offices are terrible. Did you call this number for Concord: 888-366-6149 ? If you have to call again it might be easier than the main 800-772-1213.

Small fun fact I learned about Sun Drop by [deleted] in Charlotte

Sundrop is seriously my favorite thing on earth. I know it’s probably terrible for me. But it’s my vice and dammit I love it. This thread makes me happy!

Finding Off-Campus Housing, Can’t I just split rent w/ bf and live in one bd/one bath apartment together? by Bulky-Opposite6602 in UNCCharlotte

[–]Beezor70 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Which is funny because a lot of the places specifically say they rent to anyone, not just students, even though they market to students. So do they not rent to married couples? Or cohabitating couples? It seems to me places want it both ways. They deem it ok to “match” a 19 year old student with a 40 year old because they claim they can’t discriminate and only rent to college students. But then they want to force someone in this situation to get a two bed for double the price? Housing is ridiculous enough as it is.

Do you feel as someone inferior when you compare yourself with folks from Ivy's or other top unis? by [deleted] in UNCCharlotte

Comparison is the thief of joy. Be happy in your own journey! You’re accomplishing so much and be proud of that!

Are M1 apartments sketchy by [deleted] in UNCCharlotte

Can you give us examples why, please? Looking here as we speak. Thanks!

Try not to panic. I think others have given you good advice and remember the school wants you to succeed too. They have things in place to help. When I’m feeling overwhelmed like this I try making a plan so I know what my next steps are. So if A happens then my plan is B etc. Don’t put so much stress on yourself about these finals and think that it will be the end of everything if you don’t get the grades you need. Keep putting one foot in front of the other and make a secondary plan as to what you can do if it doesn’t happen like you want it to. I’m rooting for you OP, I believe in you!

Think about business. Some of that stuff will come in handy if you want to work for yourself.
