[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was diagnosed in 2019 with RA and two other autoimmune diseases. I had a massive flare. I highly recommend getting on a biologic if you can. RA is more than joint pain. It can cause cardiovascular problems, which is what reduces lifespan for people with RA. Now would also be the time to come up with an excellent workout routine and diet. I didn’t join a support group because I don’t know of any.[/quote] Want to add: I have been on two different biologics. I haven’t experienced any of the side effects on either. The first biologic I was on stopped working after I got Covid. Don’t let the side effects scare you off. Yes, many of the side effects sound terrible but RA is disfiguring and can cause heart problems. I will say that my current biologic seems to have done something for my migraines. I haven’t had one in a year since I started it. [/quote]
