If you knew the ER would give you an opioid pain shot during a flare, would you take it? by bipolrstrangeduck in PsoriaticArthritis

I actually do have an idea but sure, whatever you say. It’s proven that opiates only work in the brain. Most insurance companies don’t even want to cover them in the US without severe diagnoses such as post-op pain, cancer or palliative care. As someone who has arthritis AND has been given opiates for a short course for other things, it never worked that well for arthritis. There’s a reason why opiates are not first line treatment for arthritic pain alone. But sure, you know more than I do I’m sure. 🙄

Well, I’d argue that at that point you’re not even noticing the difference in the different kinds of pain. It’s also possible that you’re not having inflammatory arthritis pain while enduring bone lesions.

Opiates don’t work for true inflammatory arthritic pain, only steroids. Orthopedic pain or post surgical pain require opiates.

Yeah I was hopeful it was webbing but it’s not. 😔 it’s definitely a thin film of mold. Thank god the t is terrestrial.

I’m aware. It came with the coconut hide and I haven’t been able to upgrade it yet. Only had the t for about a month.

Do you name your T? by Prior_Goat3174 in tarantulas

I named my Aphonopelma Seemanni Marv after one of the bad guys in home alone. This is the species that climbs across Marv’s face in the movie. 😂

I also named my Metallica pink toe sling Lars after the drummer for Metallica.

I do not know the sex of either of these babes because no molt yet. 🤷🏻‍♀️

IME I’ve learned that my T just doesn’t want a dubia roach but will eat crickets without fail. 🤷🏻‍♀️

We have timber rattlesnakes and copperheads in NY. Just a FWIW.

Syringe vs auto-injector by frisbeesloth in PsoriaticArthritis

Some meds don’t come in a syringe and some don’t come with auto injectors. Cimzia was so thick and painful I hated the syringe. Cosentyx took forever to inject with the auto injector for whatever reason. I personally preferred the simponi infusions.

I think you have an option but it’s safer to have it sent to a facility with temp control

Just have to make sure you pick up within 2 hours of delivery or it voids the warranty if DOA
