[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Since RA is an autoimmune disorder, the meds are either steroids or immunosuppressants. Both have negative side effects and weird that DH wants you on them if you are doing ok managing it without. [/quote] Umm, he probably wants her to go on biologics because they help prevent progression of RA? Why wouldn't he want his spouse to try and stave off the RA symptoms for as long as possible? The benefits of biologics outweigh the side effects. OP - I don't have RA but I have ankylosing spondylitis and have taken biologics before and I feel spectacular when on them. Unfortunately they stopped working for me after awhile so now I'm not taking anything.[/quote] My relative has ankylosing spondylitis and has seen a huge improvement with biologics. I have a different autoimmune disorder and have been on steroids in the past and strongly urge you to try to avoid them and go right to biologics. [/quote]
