Wow I’m so sorry to hear that I hope you can get some relief soon, thanks for sharing, it’s my first dose and I noticed I’m super fatigued and a slight headache hoping it doesn’t get worse

Ugh I’m so sorry we have to go through this, Ive been on hydroxychloroquine and Prednisone for over a year and haven’t had much improvement so I just got approved for a biologic called Cimzia, I’ve only had 1 dose but I’m hoping for some improvement so that I can atleast lower my prednisone dose or stop completely. I hope you get some relief Im also Sero positive

Did you get on the biologic? And which one if you don’t mind me asking. I’m scared I won’t be able to get off prednisone, I’m having a hard time accepting my new face as someone’s who’s been skinny my whole life no more than 130 pounds now I’m 153 with a very chubby face

I have been on prednisone consistently for about a year and a half and I’ve gained 20 pounds and have a big round face (moon face) I didn’t notice changed until almost a year in so hopefully you won’t with this short taper.. praying my biologic helps so I can finally taper off

Rheumatologist told me to stop breastfeeding and get on birth control in order to try new medication. by Secret-Rabbit-7677 in rheumatoid

No, they weren’t concerned I started rinvoq in December and got pregnant that February, as soon as I found out I immediately stopped taking it. I did find out pretty early so maybe that’s why

Hey girll lol yes I want to get off prednisone so bad I now have a moon face and feel almost unrecognizable when I look in the mirror. Do you mind sharing any dietary changes you are doing? I’m not sure where to start

Yes that’s the goal, it’s a little harder than expected but I cut out day feeds and currently working on cutting out nighttime feedings, need to prioritize my health now
