Ilumetri for psoriatic arthritis Fred's journey

[Fred]

I meant the steroid injection - since it's done in real time for the most part. It should last you 8 weeks. I am making the assumption that is what you want. MTX requires lab monitoring and eventually a liver biopsy. So over the long haul it the it would be cheaper for steroid and if you get on a bio that works, then it may be a long time before you have the worry about it.

I have had good luck with steroid injections (hope I did not curse myself).

Sorry I misunderstood you. I'm trying to get the same thing they done with the fluid on my knee, they took 3 syringes of stuff out and injected one in and it was great. I'm hoping they will do the same with my ankle as it has been confirmed it is fluid but they are dragging their heels.

And there is the by now well known studie, at least with the psoriasisclub members, Methotrexate not working for Synovitis in psoriatic arthritis that shows that MTX makes no sense.
Only this study is apparently not known by most RA departments.

No they are not interested in facts, I've never had any luck with them and neither has Mrs Fred with osteoarthritis. Useless it too kind a word for them.
