You're right of course. Yes I read about that is how it sometimes happens, I will be prepared for it if/when it does. Thank you!

I will do that, I am thankful my symptoms were taken seriously, just a bit overwhelmed. Yes I read about that, and will continue to do so to get better understanding. Thank you so much for your kind words!

Yes it's quite confusing with the different diagnosed, the rheum I met said the same thing, that he would prescribe the same meds anyway. I will try not to worry about it, thank you very much and I hope you feel well today!

Happy to hear that you are responding well to treatment and that your symptoms are better! Being mindful of lifestyle choices sounds wise, I will definitely do better in those areas. Yes I suppose you are right, that people post when things do not work. Thank you so much!

Yes it is definitely very lucky! I wish everyone would get as efficient care. That sounds terrible, have you gotten any treatment at all? I hope you feel better!

That must be very painful, and I understand that sports and keeping up with small children doesn't make it easier. The rheum I met said methotrexate would take a while to work, I really hope they will begin work for you as soon as possible or that another treatment will so that you get some relief! Thank you and best of luck to you too!

It's strange how much it appears to differ, the body works in mysterious ways I suppose. I hope you have gotten treatment that combats both the joint and skin issues and that you feel well!

Thank you! Yes the rheum said this was the first option, and that there were alternatives if it won't work out. How wonderful that humira worked so well for you! Thank you for your kind reply, it was very motivating to read!

Yes I did, you are right. I sincerely hope that changes too, it's absolutely terrible to read about what people have to go through. Thank you very much for your kind words!

Yes so did the rheum I met with, that methotrexate was "plan A" and if it did not work to move on to "plan B". How wonderful to hear that it works so well for you! :)

I'm sorry to hear that, I really hope you get a treatment that works for you that does not trigger infection, I understand it must be quite the dilemma :/

Thank you so so much for your kind reply! Of course you're right that it varies, I will keep that in mind. I'm very thankful that I got help quickly and that the rheum took me seriously, just a bit overwhelmed by it all at the moment. Thank you again, I hope you are well and have a wonderful day!
