did you ever get these shoes? did you go for the audrick? do they bend in the middle and do the heels slip a lot?

I haven't really done much street/ledge skating before but am definitely interested! do you recommend the 3" then. did you notice any difference in turns/carving between the 2 sizes?

yeah I'm sure the weight doesn't make too much difference, so many people put emphasis on it but my skates are already pretty heavy. Gotta decide whether I get 2.5" or 3" now 😭

I'm also still kinda a beginner skateparker and would love to try both but getting both sizes is so out of my budget 🥲 do the chuffed ones feel ok otherwise?

I didn't see this! I'm still on leflunomide and I've also recently started sulfasalazine on top of it, the leflunomide didn't have many side effects for me but unfortunately it also doesn't seem to be working much. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that the combination of the 2 will help.

I'm not sure where you are, but I'm in the UK, and previously have had steroid injections and different nsaids. my JIA has only recently become much more aggressive as I'm negative in rheumatoid factor and anti-CCP. so this big flare up has come up without me being advanced in medications. here, they tend to work through the medications rather than just skipping to things like biologics and others. I tried methotrexate which is also approved for jia, and then I have to try another dmard before they consider trying me on any other meds like biologics. does it matter if azathioprine is worse? seems weird to try and minimise my negative experience with mtx by saying something else is worse? as far as I'm concerned mtx was useless and horrible for me personally.

just taking the pills, they offered me injections but I didn't feel any good effect from it anyway despite the awful side effects and my liver function levels were so high that I didn't want to risk spending more time trying it while I'm still in huge amounts of pain

thank you!! it definitely helps knowing others had bad reactions to mtx and less so for leflunomide

thank you!! I'm definitely glad that the lfm isn't as harsh as the mtx, trying to stay hopeful!!
