I see mine every 3 months with blood work every 3 months. It's very important to do as the rheumatologist says. He/She knows best. I really trust my rheumatologist and do whatever he says. He knows this disease backward and forward. The blood work is very necessary also. Hope this helps.
I see mine every 3 months, same with blood work
Every 3 months and sometimes blood work every 3 months. I can't get plaquenil unless I do
Every 3 months for me same with bloodwork. Once a year is probably when they are in remission or very low disease activity best guess💁♀️
I see my rheumy every 3 or 4 months and have labs every 8 weeks. When first diagnosed, it was every 3 months and labs every 4 weeks. It is precautionary due to medication possible side effects. I am going on my 3rd rheumy due to them leaving the state or going into research. I see this beginning in December. Good luck on getting everything established.
