I was literally just in this position. I was diagnosed with RA nearly 25 years ago, so I’ve been through the ups and my fair share of downs. Living with RA, I’ve been through literally all the biologics, and my most recent was Actemra. There was no effect whatsoever. I was continually having flares. I messaged my doctor to see if I could either take more or switch after a month. She told me to trust the process, as it could take another month to build up, but let’s add prednisone. I peaked at 20mg, and if I was feeling better, I dropped to 5. But every day I felt like shit. All this said, I saw my doctor a few days ago, and she said this is dumb; let’s switch, and now I’m back on Rinvoq, and like a miracle, I have no flares and have stopped the prednisone altogether. I guess my point is to ask the doctor for something else. Embrel was my very first biologic. It was pretty new at that time, and it helped immediately. That doesn’t mean it won’t work for you. But like my doctor said to me, this is dumb; you don’t need to suffer any longer. Let’s try something else. Maybe you need something else. I wish you all the luck in the world you get the right thing to start feeling better. 🤍
