Pamela Finding the right medicine can really help- often you will feel like your old self. Don't give up! (I have had RA for 35 years- most of that time I was able to function very close to normal.) Good luck.

I don't know alot about Rinvoq as I am not a candidate for it, but RA itself comes with a hefty dose of fatigue & brain fog. My experience so far (2 years) I find the medicines (on my 6th one) just add to the tiredness & brain fog. Even without the medicines you should expected low energy & fogginess.

I am not familiar with Rinvoq, but over the years, I have had many meds, and they all had negative effects on me, while also lowering the intensity of pain. So right now, I am on Lyrica for my neuropathy and OTC Tylenol. I have more fatigue and brain fog the older I get. I know doesn't offer much comfort, but I take it one day at a time and don't push myself.

No but I take daily prednisone, & folic, and weekly methotrexate. How is yours working?
