Hi all,
Well the good news is after getting a 2nd opinion from another Rheumy and him re diagnosing me with PsA and changing all my meds, I am starting to feel (dare I say it?) Quite Good!!
Its been 6 weeks or so now since he put me on Leflumonide 20mg a day and all my joint swellings have almost disappeared and Im much less stiff.
(my ESR has actually marginally increased to 55 which is interesting, but my CRP is down )
I think if this continues I might just kiss him the next time I see him in clinic !!
