RA x 20 years for me, went thru the normal course of drugs.... Prednisone, methotrexate, Areva, Embrel, and currently Humira (and Mtx 7.5mg). I believe the most important things we can do, in addition to meds, is exercise, a healthy diet (almost all folks with RA benefit from gluten free) supplements, and good lab testing. I keep my D level about 55 and I also use NattoKinase for risks of cardiac events.

Humira is an absolute god send. I take it every week and it really has helped me live a relatively normal life.

That's amazing to hear! It's great when medication can make such a positive impact on someone's life.

Very informative for us just getting started on this journey. If you can share more details on Lupus, flares, and treatments would be great! Anything about cognitive deterioration would be amazing too. I will review more of your previous content. Thank you doctor Girnita

I was diagnosed with Fybromyaligia was hospitalised with poly Arthtitis now say I have R.A and undifferentiated aggressive inglamatory Arthritis. Be 3 years in june. Started on predisanone and Amatryptalene methotrexate tablets then replaced with injections and hydrichloxychloraquine. Then add benepalli injections. But that was stopped do to inefficency. Then started infliximab imfusions that gave me heart palpitations so stopped now started toxzilimab infusions only had 2 and had to stop for 2 weeks because of concerningly low white blood count. Now restarted all.. fingers crossed its not the infusions I've never had a skin cancer screen even though after a sunburn on my ear it's never healed be 2 year in July. I was told to keep out the sun yet never put on vitamin D....I feel like all tweeds are going to finish me off...

Thank you for the very informative video, I suffer from Ankylosing Spondylitis and Psoriatic Arthritis and my Rheumatologist prescribed me with Hymiroz which I believe is a biosimilar of Adalimumab, so far I have seen an improvement I was suffering from extreme fatigue, which has improved. Although I’m still feeling lightly stiff I’ve been taking biologics for around 6 months, although I had missed a months dose, due to forgetting to do blood test and without this they couldn’t send me a new prescription. so I feel that has slightly delayed my progress. I’m wondering whether I could go on a stronger biologic, but I guess I will have to wait and see.

[@rheumatologistoncall]

I'm so glad to hear that you found the video informative and that you're seeing some improvement with Hymiroz! It's important to stay consistent with your medication and follow your Rheumatologist's guidance. Keep up the good work!

Thank you for your informative video. Greatly appreciated and I am glad I came across these video. I am on a biological was on humera now changing as it’s no longer covered. I take methotrexate and blood pressure medication. The two problems I am faced with which are not going away, psoriasis (on ankle very itchy red) and protein in urine as the kidney isn’t working . Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

[@rheumatologistoncall]

I'm glad you found the video helpful! It sounds like you're dealing with some challenging health issues. Have you consulted with your healthcare provider about potential solutions for your psoriasis and kidney concerns?
