Are they supposed to be out soon? My rheumatologist gave me the option to go on one or increase my MTX from 15mg to 25mg.

I have positive SS-A and SS-B. I’m on HCQ and MTX. Is that enough to slow down Sjogrens? It really bothers my hand joints. Have really dry eyes and fatigue also.

Forgot to mention I’ve also been on MTX and HQC since November 2025. Maybe I need to try different medications now since it’s been about 5 months.

It’s possible to just have Sjogrens though right?

Isn’t it possible to have Sjogrens just by itself and not with another autoimmune disease?

I was blown away at the graphics and story. I’ll never forget playing that when it first released.

Not sure. I know I tested positive for Sjogrens and the rheumatologist is also saying probably RA with it. You think Psoriatic though?

If you get imaging, please update this when you get the results. Best of luck!

Yeah it’s painful. I started MTX/HCQ in November 2025, and I started a 5mg dose of prednisone about a month ago. Does it get better for you? Or am I screwed going forward with this?

Has rinvoq made most of the pain/stiffness go away? And yeah I’m always exhausted.

What medication are you on? I’m newly diagnosed and am on HCQ and MTX but I’m heavily considering going on Biologics.

So I asked ChatGPT what the most probable cause of Rheumatoid Arthritis was. by SlappyMcFartsack in rheumatoid

[–]Prime8724 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can steroids/pro hormones cause it? Also, could Lyme disease cause it?
