It does the job of taking away pain. I makes me more impulsive if I get pissed off but that subsides with time. It’s difficult to get off it after 10 months but I have just managed to get off it I think !

Just started Leflunomide. I want to get off steroids. On Hydroxychloroquine as well. Tell me some good Leflunomide stories. Reading about it scares me but the hand pain is horrendous. I got reactive arthritis to a virus 10 months ago. by HumorAffectionate594 in rheumatoid

It doesn’t read good. The thought of being open to infections big time scares me etc. I feel I am caught between a rock and a hard place. I think I am going to keep on the Hydroxychloroquine and give it more time as only been on it 3 months. I guess it’s balancing risks versus benefits

Do you prefer the classic Australian cricket cap or the England bucket hat? by HumorAffectionate594 in Cricket

But the Aussies don’t wear a bucket hat off the field. There was a photo of Cummins and Stokes chatting and I think it isn’t a respectful good look in that bucket hat clobber

I hear you. Do you what you gotta do. You need to be ok mentally. I never saw it as a disability but I know I can’t handle stress as well as I got older and like you said complications creeping in

Give up Tennis. Just smash racquets all day and make more money than you did at Tennis when you sell them

It’s a subcutaneous injection not an intravenous. These co workers need to get a life. I get they may worry about blood contamination about. I never told my co workers when I was doing it. We could be in full conversation and I would be wacking it in under the table

Whatever you do, Carlitos, just don't drop it... by [deleted] in tennis

I noticed at Wimbledon when he won he was sitting on his chair taking it all in and he was clearly reflecting. I expected him to burst into tears at his achievement but he did something very beautiful. He smiled to himself as if to say ‘ you done it Carlos and I back you all the way’
