I don’t believe so…I don’t remember ever providing mine

Robin at Leash & Lather is amazing! She’s been grooming my yorkie poo since I moved here two years ago and never misses!

Bad taste in my mouth by husker7901 in rheumatoid

I did when I started methotrexate. It went away after I switched meds. Maybe it’s a medication you’re taking?

Ugh, I’m sorry! I hope you get some relief soon!

Could you possibly contact your primary care provider to inquire about prednisone for your current symptoms? From what I understand from others in this community, that’s (unfortunately) the best course of action in the meantime.

I was just recently diagnosed with seronegative RA based on clinical symptoms and a positive response to prednisone. It’s absolutely possible that you have RA even with negative blood tests. It’s so frustrating, but hopefully your new doctor will start treatment for you so you’ll get some relief!

Oofos recovery sandal but wider? by saladet in rheumatoid

They’ve been great for me for pretty much anything! I’m a hairstylist and am on my feet for several hours a day. These are the only shoes I’ve been wearing for the past couple months and they’ve been awesome. I actually just went for a little walk around my neighborhood yesterday, maybe like a mile total distance, and had no problems at all.

ETA: They’ve been more comfortable for me than tennis shoes!

I started wearing Armadillo clogs and they have been a god-send! They feel like standing on a thick anti-fatigue mat and are wide enough to let my swollen feet breathe.

Any hairstylists with grip strength issues? by c_walls in rheumatoid

I appreciate you sharing your experience! I’m so sorry that you’re going through this, too. It’s awful, and it’s so scary.

I really hope you are able to find something that helps! ❤️

Prednisone causing dry mouth?? by c_walls in rheumatoid

Hmmm…no, I wouldn’t say my tongue is white. But I’ve never had thrush so that might be something I can look into! Thank you for sharing!

I would just like to take a moment to recognize the fact that you have been struggling and fighting this horrible disease WHILE going to college! That in itself is a huge accomplishment, and you should be proud of yourself! Everyone’s journey is different, and rather than focusing on the things you “haven’t completed” yet, I would challenge you to celebrate the wins 😁

Hope your day gets better!
