I was diagnosed with RA, I ignored it forever until I was having issues functioning normally. I was prescribed prednisone for a week and then methotrexate/folic acid. The methotrexate helped me feel fine despite decimating my hairline.
After about a year into the pandemic I just stopped taking the methotrexate/folic acid after a couple of years of using it regularly, and I haven't had an RA issue since. I had tried this way in the past, but I would get flair ups, but this time around no symptoms.
- 300bps 3y agoI’ve had mild psoriasis since I was a young teenager. One day it disappeared. Then about 15 years later it came back. In one particularly stressful time of my life it progressed to psoriatic arthritis. Then that went away when the stressful situation was resolved. I’m now trying to retrace my steps to try to make it go away again. Low inflammation diet, lots of sleep, low stress.
