Hypersensitivity to dmards
I'm nervous to start Arava. I've tried more than 10 different biologics/dmards over the last 11 years and had several severe infections or reactions. Reactivated Epstein Barr virus, bacterial colitis and mastitis are a few examples.
Any advice or information would be appreciated!

I’m don’t know what dmards are.
i have a hypersensitivity to retards, especially when they’re moaning about me being in the way in a shop when I’m in my powerchair.

Dmards= Disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs.
But i agree that people can be very impolite!

I actually thought twice about posting that not wanting to cause offence, but in the end I thought it was funny.
and I learnt something new as well.

Crikey! That's a lot of meds to have problems with. I'm lucky that methotrexate and hydroxychloroquine work for me.
I was, briefly, on Arava once. I got on OK with it. I have a friend who has been on it for years. It really does seem to be a matter of 'suck it and see' with DMARDS. I do hope this works for you, without problems. Certainly, without such big ones. Good luck!
If at first you don't succeed, then skydiving definitely isn't for you.

I will keep y'all updated once I start taking it. Lol
I figured I'd take it after the new year. So maybe January 2nd. Lol
