Anyone had any luck taking this new medicine? I have been on Humira, Orencia, Enbrel, Cymcia and Kezvara. Nothing has really worked as my joints are chronic. I am kind of thinking about going the organic route. Especially with this COVID19! Thanks
Thanks for the feedback. Perhaps not a lot of scripts yet as it is new. Is there anything from mother nature that helps? I would rather ask the group that read something that is trying to be sold. Thanks in advance for any help or suggestions. I have a hard time trying to understand why a computer can't just read your blood and give you an answer on what medicine would be the best bet. :)
I just got diagnosed with RA last month. I have had joint pain and such for 25 years but RA test always came back negative. Rheumatologist finally did 14-3-3 ETA test that showed I have RA. I have been on a variety of meds-latest being Imuran and plaquenil for autoimmune Hepatitis. I was currently having a severe flare of joint pain all over. With new diagnosis I was prescribed RINVOQ. I Started feeling better in a week and have never been happier. Currently I have very little joint pain. I am shocked how bad my joint pain was, when it slowly builds, you don’t realize how bad it is. I’m considering this a miracle drug right now. I hope it continues to keep my pain away.
I am also just getting started on the Rinvoq. Then ended up with a huge flare and in so much pain. Back to some short term steroids to relieve the pain. Still massively exhausted, but I am an RN and work nights, so go figure :( I cannot say it has made a huge difference yet, but RA doc wants me off of the MTX for atleast 4 months to give the Rinvoq a good trial.
I stared on Rinvoq about a week ago, my RA has not been lately I started on a diet, I found out that I am allergic to alot of the food that I was eating that was causing a lot of inflammation I have been doing for around 3 months now and i can tell a big difference, as i said i started the Rinvoq about a week ago i have a doctor's apt in April if my blood work looks good I am planning on getting off Rinvoq and just stay on the methotrexate, but I have to wait and see
How long have you been on it and have you had any side effect?
