I’m existentially exhausted by how hard it is just to move my body around right now.

Some of these drugs take months to feel any effects, which also means it’s months before you know if it’s NOT working. Treating this disease means a whole lot of wasted time, even when things are moving along.

I’ve been off of the rinvoq for almost 3 months, which means my dumb immune system is beating the shit out of me. But hey, what’s another week while you guys get the shit together that you’ve had three weeks already to do, right?

He says “now that medicine you were on was working well before, right?” My friend, my brother in Christ, my guy, we had an entire goddamn office visit about this. Why did we bother to do that if you’re not going to read your notes?

Results from a scope. I *thought* he meant they’d figure that out while I was waiting on said scope, so that as long as it was clear, we could get moving on starting a new med because that process is forever taking. So I told them the scope was clear, let’s go.

Had my usual rheum appointment and told them that even though the rinvoq was amazing for my RA pain, I had some unsustainable side effects with it, and very sadly would likely have to try a new med. I see the PA, so he said he’d discuss with the main doctor, and they’d get back to me after I got…

They may have to do it at a pediatrician’s office. Our pharmacies don’t do vaccines for kids under, I think, 4 years.

Man walks down the street in a hat like that, you know he’s not afraid of nothin.

That sucks. I just had to stop taking a medicine that’s done the best yet for my RA pain, because it made it so that I could barely eat and I got sick on it constantly.

I imagine it works better if you don’t TELL everyone he’s a rental?
