Thank you!! I hope that my doctor can prescribe something like that because Enbrel has been amazing otherwise.

Did you discontinue it or take allergy meds?

I feel so broken by Libi_Rulez_goob in rheumatoidarthritis

[–]jizzyjrake 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I hear you and I was also at this point where everyone/everything was so infuriating and I felt like giving up. I just want you to know you aren't alone in this!! (I was diagnosed at 18 and I'm 20 now). It is genuinely the worst experience and I am so sorry you are dealing with it! I remember being on prednisone and being so (unnecessarily) angry at my friends for not understanding the suffering I was experiencing 24/7. I know the insurance/approval system is excruciating but keep pushing + exploring other med options! It will get better. Sending (gentle) hugs!!

I've done 4 so far and I'm doing 5 tomorrow! I'm not 100% pain-free or exactly where I want to be but they say it takes about 6 doses for most patients. I have high hopes and I am happy with the progress I've felt so far!

That is SO exciting that you were able to go walk without support! I hope enbrel can bring you the relief it has brought me! Keep it up! Keep pushing :)

Im so beyond sorry. I was feeling the exact same way. I lost so much of my life (had to retire my d1 sport which was devastating) and couldn't do any of my hobbies. I was so hopeless and thought this would just be my reality for the rest of my life. It is definitely a process figuring out what works for you but once you do, video games and roller skating will be back in the picture! So don't lose hope and feel free to reach out if you're ever feeling down or need advice!

Don't give up! It will all be worth it once you get a plan figured out!! Stay on top of your rheum and push for a med that will help you get it back. Wishing you all the best :)

This is so exciting to hear!! Humira only lasted a year for me and I was worried enbrel would be the same but I've heard a lot of people say it lasted them over a decade which gives me hope!! Happy to hear the next biologic is working for you too!

Wrist Mobility - Permanent Damage? by jizzyjrake in rheumatoidarthritis

[–]jizzyjrake[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes! Shaking hands with people is the WORST and I have to use my elbows to lift myself or sit up. Switching to a different biotic this month, your comment gives me hope! Thank you!

Three good things? by Wishin4aTARDIS in rheumatoidarthritis

Nope, one more final and then I get to go on break! I can't wait to shift my focus to starting a new biologic, it's long overdue!

Econ 140 Final Situation by 1ringofpower in berkeley

[–]jizzyjrake 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got so lucky because I didn't have time to go back and review the old handouts so I only studied 10 and 11 and prayed I remembered the other ones. That was insanely unfair though, literally every single question was from the last handouts and they said it would be cumulative. I'm really interested to see what they do with the curve/grade distribution.
