Thanks Jen and Rachael. Jen thanks for the info. I wondered about Mtx. Arava and sulfasilazine have both failed for me but I see from the form I might have to give Mtx a go. I actually only lasted one month on sulf. because of liver problems. I have prepared myself to start Mtx but have wondered whether in Aust we can inject as my gut has suffered from the other two DMARDs. Hey if it works I will be one happy chook.
Like you my bloods are seronegative mostly so thanks for the tips for other possibilities. Swelling is so difficult, I can feel and see the swelling but docs sometimes can and sometimes cannot.
I have started taking photos Rachael, if I ever lose my phone someone is going to be really challenged by my photo gallery.....wonder what they will make of that????? Near fringe group? Narcissism with a twist ha ha.
Lol, if they found our phones together they would really question us. I know I have some pretty creepy, oddball ones of some hives and then there are the those sausage toes. I never really thought about how weird it would all look to a stranger until you said that, ha-ha!
Too true! I've got some awesome pics of my foot after bunion surgery which to my mind are really interesting. I've never understood why people almost prefer to see photos of my cat.
