Glad to hear you're responding well to Humira without side effects! I'm on my 3rd week of MTX and like you, have not side effects so far. My knees are beginning to feel less stiff with each day. This is a real journey, and it takes time to get results. My symptoms are really minor compared with what you had, but I didn't want to wait until there was joint damage occurring, so I jumped on the MTX right away (10mg). Your positive outlook is inspiring :) For years I was wondering if all of my different issues (bottom of foot pain, metatarsals, finger joint pain and stiffness, knee pain, eye irritation, etc. were all just different ailments from getting older (now 62). But I've had psoriasis for most of my life and I think getting COVID several years ago kicked my immune system into chaos, and resulted in PSA. I'm one of the lucky ones with milder symptoms, so I do feel for you. Thanks for sharing your trials and tribulations; it is extremely helpful to those just getting diagnosed or wanting more info. I will be watching your recovery and hopefully a complete remission!! Cheers from Seattle.
Thanks for the comment, it truly means a lot. It’s definitely takes time and as cliche as it is one just has to accept the process. I’m very pleased to hear you’re getting some relief from the MTX already and with no side effects! It’s interesting what you say about Covid. I’ve read some interesting literature about auto immune stuff and Covid and even though I was asymptotic I had Covid (once that I know about but probably more) and maybe that was the ignition as I recently found out a distant family member has PsA also. I’ve obviously had a genetic predisposition. I’m glad you’re getting some sort of help from my videos. That’s what my goals and aims are as I find it difficult to come across myself. Stay well
I can really relate to you saying when the pain went you were bursting with energy. I have had a bad flare up after getting over Covid last September, and agree the constant pain and stiffness in all my joints wears you down. I had a course of Prednisolone which had a similar effect of releasing me from pain and allowed me to get back to exercising with renewed energy, but unfortunately I couldn't stay on Prednisolone due to side effects and as I was weened off the pain and stiffness came back, even with the Methotrexate and Sulfasalazine. I'll look into Humira and see if that's a possibility for me. Keep well and thanks for sharing your positive journey, its very helpful.
I can relate to what you said about the energy boost, I’m been getting same sometimes since I start mtx it’s like took some drugs😮 It probably is what you said about the body compensating for the inflammation
So happy for you. I'll be asking rheaumatologist about it at my appointment next month as I'm still on steroids which are only for temporary time span.✌️🦘

Thank you for sharing.Iam starting MTX for PsA this week can you please suggest any diet which is helpful during taking MTX.
For me the only things that I’m sure make my PsA worse are alcohol and sugar in excessive amounts but that’s with it without the MTX. Good luck!
How many dose you have taken?i hope you are feeling well
I've taken about 8 now I believe. I feel amazing!
How much do you pay for humira ?
Nothing. I’m very grateful I get it
In the NHS
So happy for you. I'll be asking rheaumatologist about it at my appointment next month as I'm still on steroids which are only for temporary time span.✌️🦘
