I'm taking a pill

Thank you. I will discuss it with rheumatlogist. Are you taking pill or infusions?

Currently I'm on Rinvoq (upadacitnib) which thankfully has given me minimal side effects (mostly acne related). It's the medication that has worked the best for me thus far but I still get flare ups when I'm overwhelmed and stressed so I'm not in remission.

That's horrible. So what medications are you taking now?

Hi Avis,
While everyone has a different reaction I personally did not do well on Cimzia. For me, it initially brought down my inflammation but I had severe adverse reactions to it: malfunctioning pupil reflex, going blind, difficulty breathing, and chest pain. I wouldn't necessarily let that deter you from taking it since I've seen online multiple people that didn't have an extreme reaction to it but that is just my personal experience.
