@kimlockhartga@beige.party It’s awful. I failed so many of those drugs. The only one that helped was prednisone, which is why I now have osteoporosis …

@wendynather@infosec.exchange oh crap. Prednisone is so hard on your bones. I am sorry. My best friend is having similar problems due to high dose prednisone use for Lupus and MS. Oddly, prednisone makes me feel worse, and it took me a long time to convince them of that. I've been through a whole tour of the biologics: Humira, Enbrel, Orencia, all of which are somewhat effective at slowing down the damage. Methotrexate did nothing at all. I have osteopenia, which makes me think that the disease itself might be stealing from our bones and prednisone just accelerates an already existing process? Anyway, it sux that there's not been a breakthrough other than DMARDs. I suppose someone is doing research. I hope so, for the young people coming up.
