Hi all,
I have RA arthritis and possible psoriatic too??? I will have ask Rheumy next time I see her in about 3 weeks. I just do not have the scaley bumpy fingernails!?
Just wanted to put a note in: I take Methotrexate (6 pills, 1 x wk) and my Rheumatologist told mer to take Folic Acid every day (1 per). Does not hurt anything and does not cost much. I was told that it can take frp, 6 - 12, mo. for the metho to work. It has been about 6 mo. and I can tell that it is helping some. But still take relafen and skelaxin and a tiny bit of prednisone. I am being weaned off of the pred. - pill per day. Anyway, I can tell that my puffs and stiffness in my hands (between my knuckles on my hands are coming back!
Seems like there is just no coming back?@
Good luck to yall.
