Palindromic rheumatism treatment

amelia030

Hello, I’ve recently heard about biological treatments for RA and I’ve been wondering if such treatment could be used to treat Palindromic rheumatism? I can’t seem to find anything about it on the internet, well not surprised since PA is not a common topic. Has anyone heard anything about biologics being used to treat PA?

Hi,

I don 't know but the person to ask would be your rheumatologist. I know, with RA, PsÀ etc, we usually have to fail on three DMARDS before getting the much more expensive biologics. However, I've done well for years on a couple of DMARDS.
