Hi! I've put up a poll on my 'community' tab because I'd love to hear what kind of content you'd find most interesting from this channel -www.youtube.com/@aslightlyatypicalpresentation/community Please do let me know, I will be taking all responses on board when planning future videos ♡
I’m glad to hear the adilimumab is working well for you! I recently took my third dose, and it has proved helpful so far. Best of luck with your prednisolone taper!
Thanks for sharing! I’m 5 weeks into starting adalimumab but interestingly I’ve not been told to stop Sulfasalazine! Really nice to hear other people’s shared experience 💖 I feel like I’m having a bit of flare up but I think I’ve been doing too much and need to slow down a little!
Oh, it's so nice to have some company! Sorry to hear you're having a bit of a flare though, I felt like things might be going that way too for a few weeks. Hoping things might have turned a corner for now. How interesting that you've been given different information about sulfasalazine! I've seen other people prescribed the two together as well. Sometimes it honestly seems like every rheumatology team has their own rules! I really hope the symptom flare passes soon for you and you see some benefits, please let me know how you go, if you feel like it 💜
I haven't tried it, does it work well for you then? From a quick search it looks like it might not be prescribed for my specific condition (rheumatoid arthritis), so perhaps it's not one I'd be able to try
@@aslightlyatypicalpresentation I haven't tried it yet. I have psoriatic arthritis. I thought it was RA at first since that's what my dad and grandpa had, but they've determined it's PsA. The Taltz is apparently similar to Humira and other biologics. But it's like $5k to $8k per month apparently. I was approved for free samples, but I don't know what happens after those run out lol. Apparently, Methotrexate works and is cheap but my doc says it's dangerous for the organs.
Very interesting, thanks for sharing that. From the webpage I saw it looked like it's designed for treating spondyloarthropathies, which would make sense because PsA fits with that but RA doesn't. They can be hard to tell apart sometimes, I think. One of the registrars I saw soon after diagnosis thought I might have PsA for a while, but later it was confirmed as RA.

Have you ever used Taltz? I was given some free samples, but I almost want to just hold onto them and use them just in case I have a flare up.
