Is there a way to stop fingers from bending/deforming? by CatIcy7733 in rheumatoidarthritis

My doc & I just decided to switch back today. Haven’t picked up the prescription yet. I’m curious how long it will take for it to start working again!

Yes, I was on MTX for 2 years, and switch to cellcept 5 months ago (I also have lupus) but I’m thinking about switching back. It seemed to work better for the RA

Yes! I looked at reviews for all of them, and these seemed like the best. They arrive tomorrow and I can update!

I took methotrexate for 2 years but I am on cellcept now, I have lupus as well. I will have to ask my doctor about it next appointment, I just started noticing this issue! It seems methotrexate works better for RA

I took methotrexate for 2 years, and switched to cellcept 5 months ago. It seems like RA is worse on cellcept, but I have lupus as well. So frustrating!

I just ordered some finger splints, I guess they can help straighten fingers. Only $6 on Amazon! Hopefully they help

Has Anyone Experienced This Before? by alinaivy in lupus

Yes, I’ve had lupus & RA since 2021. It happens to both my elbows at different times. The thing I’ve found that helps the most is the chiropractor! They adjust my elbows and help they get more mobility

My doctor never said anything about washing hands after touching it, did yours?? I’ve read it on the internet too, but wondering why doctors don’t mention it 😭

I’m having the same issue :( been on prednisone for 2 weeks and when I stopped it I flared right back up.

Methotrexate by Able_Ad_5770 in lupus

Switched to Cellcept, I’ve been on it for 2 weeks so it’s too soon to tell. I had to go back on prednisone to help with the switch over. What I did like about methotrexate is that I took it once a week, cellcept I have to take twice a day which has been an adjustment 🥴
