I didn't see you mention TNF inhibitors. Have you tried Humira, Simponi, Enbrel, etc? Those took me from bed-ridden with a cane to currently training for a half marathon (over the past 8 years of treatment).
(Since you didn't mention it) Have you discussed the treatment with your rheumatologist?
- rorykoehler 8y agoNo way I'm risking my health with those class of drugs. All or nothing for me. I do have a rheumatologist but he is not very helpful unfortunately
- lsh 8y agoBiologics are amazing, without them I'm almost immobile and in constant pain. Being able to work with your doctors is important, I suggest you look for another. You're not getting better, you won't ever get better, but you can slow the disease down with medication, exercise and diet, in that order.
