"Hi everyone. I’ve been battling RA for 8 years and I’m at a crossroads. My life used to be incredibly active (gym daily, running 15-30 miles a week), but now chronic pain from bone erosions and nodules makes a light walk feel like a marathon
I've been on Methotrexate and Plaquenil for years, and while I eat a 'super clean' organic diet and take supplements, I’m still not in remission. My rheumatologist says biologics are the next step, but I am terrified of the immune suppression and the risk… read more

Valid concern. I’ve been on various RA meds for about 5 years now. I’ve been very fortunate that I haven’t gotten sick more often than I did prior to having RA and being on meds. It’s a scary thing to start, but sometimes it’s the best option. Hoping great things for you!
I have had RA for about 25 years now, and it seems like I have tried everything. I have had years where meds seem to work, then all of a sudden, I am in the hospital because of horrible side effects. What has recently worked for me has been Hyrimoze; it is a poor man's Humira. I was on Methotrexate injection, and then pills; they helped for a little bit, but then went horribly wrong. Then my doctor put me on a combination of Leflunomide, Hyrimoz, Prednisone, and Folic Acid, and that combination has had me in remission for the last 5 years.
I have not experienced any infections, but when I get sick, I can get pretty bad, and the illness can last much longer than normal.
