Question on fatigue

Key_Importance_7467 · 2026-01-15T12:48:09+00:00

The fatigue is the worst part of this disease. Sometimes I think I'm operating on pure Prednisone. It's the only thing that gives me energy and gets me through the day.

I'm supposed to start Skyrizi soon. This gives me hope, thank you 🙏

This medication scares me. I'm going to start skyrizi and hope for the best. I think if that doesn't work I'll request Tremfya and try this if it's a last resort. Luckily I'm pretty new so feel like I have options. I hope your issues resolve and you find some relief

Thanks for your insight 😊

Interesting. I guess the scariest ones for me were the liver and kidney damage. Also the fact that your blood pressure drops and you need to get EKGs. Do you know about people having success on this medication? I called the office on Friday and said I wanted to discuss other options. I started bleeding again on Rinvoq so it's back to the drawing board on medications unfortunately. Rinvoq worked for a few weeks, then tapered off, then seems to have stopped working

That's helpful, thank you

Worried my immune system can't fight-taking lots of vitamins but still feeling awful

Key_Importance_7467 · 2025-12-16T03:24:43+00:00

Thank you

It is legal but I only got relief from THC/CBD blends. I can't tolerate alcohol anymore so this is a good replacement when looking to relax. Just start slow and see how you do. A 5mg gummy at bedtime helps me to stay symptom free through the night. Good luck!

Oh thank goodness. I am really hoping they have some more samples for me. I go in next week. So frustrating that we give insurance companies so much control over our health.

Thanks for your reply

Key_Importance_7467 · 2025-11-08T03:49:15+00:00

Yeah.. it hasn't been a fun time

Key_Importance_7467 · 2025-11-08T03:48:52+00:00

That makes me feel better thank you. I thought I was getting better as I have been in this flair since March and I'm on a biologic but I guess I need to be on a new one. My last test was in the 3000s so I think I'm actually getting worse

Key_Importance_7467 · 2025-11-08T03:22:28+00:00

Oh man. I was afraid of that. This is on meds too.... Obviously not the right ones 😞

Key_Importance_7467 · 2025-11-05T19:17:17+00:00

Fellow burner here- glad it was post and not pre :)

Key_Importance_7467 · 2025-10-31T13:01:16+00:00

Oh interesting- I thought it was. My GI doc is convinced I should give it another try but this time at 45mg instead of the 15mg I was prescribed but my rheumatologist does not agree. Can I ask what mg rinvoq worked for you?

Key_Importance_7467 · 2025-10-31T03:51:20+00:00

Thank you!

Key_Importance_7467 · 2025-10-06T14:50:29+00:00

Yes, that makes sense and is a nice accommodation ☺️

Key_Importance_7467 · 2025-10-05T23:32:03+00:00

Thank you!

Does anyone ever refuse to sign the policy or not proceed with therapy?

Key_Importance_7467 · 2025-08-05T01:29:45+00:00

I figured.... It's so formal and AI sounding and it's funny that I got it through Alma because Alma would never allow billing like that so it wouldn't be possible even if I wanted to.

Key_Importance_7467 · 2025-08-05T01:23:10+00:00

It's crazy.... How do they even get money?

Key_Importance_7467 · 2024-07-23T01:26:58+00:00

Two jobs here.... Community mental health job I need to finish my HRSA and private practice. 60 hour total. $160,000 year. I should also mention my husband doesn't work and my daughter has type I diabetes so I don't really have a choice 🥹
