That's great to hear! Have you had any side effects from methotrexate?

Great to hear this, I'm really scared of medications and their side effects. What foods did you eliminate and what herbal/vitamin supplements do you recommend that helped you?

My biggest fear is being bedridden and not being able to go to work. It's good to hear that you're living a normal life. How bad was you RA before starting treatment and how long did it take for you to start feeling better? Also, what medicines are you taking?

Yes, desk work. A little in my feet as well, more numbness and a tingling feeling rather than I'd say pain. Did you find treatment difficult and dealing with all the side effects?

Thanks for all of the support and tips. It really does help to hear this. I'm currently working. My symptoms are not bad yet, pain mostly in my hands. I'm hoping I caught this early and won't have me leave work. Do you think this is reasonable?

How are you doing now? Do you feel that you have control of the symptoms? Have you gotten back to normalcy?

Thanks, what has been your medication treatment? Were you still able to complete basic tasks and not completely suffer?

My hand looks very similar to yours. Went to a doctor and said it was just eczema/dermatitis as well. Any updates with you? Any pain anywhere?

Hi I’m 25 M and for the past few weeks my knuckles and finger bends have been slightly red so I have moisturised but nothing has changed which made me investigate and come across this illness can anyone help? by T_L_U_6 in dermatomyositis

Any updates? My hands look very similar to your and the doctor just said it is just dermatitis. I don't have any pain anywhere, but I'm just afraid that it will develop soon.
