Hello!

kellywinter

hello,

my name is Kelly and I’m 23 and I was diagnosed the start of this year with RA. I was on methotrexate pills until recently because it was the most horrendous taste and always made me feel sick. I’ve found the injections more helpful in the last 4 weeks of using them! I wanted to know if anyone else uses compression gloves and how they found it as my hands and fingers are always inflamed and no longer look the same :(

Hi, @kellywinter Welcome to the online community; we're glad to have you here!
I'm sorry to hear you're having a difficult time with your hands. Everyone is different, and what works for one person may not work for another, but I have found compression gloves extremely helpful! I get mine from Amazon. They're not the highest quality, but for me, they do the job just the same.

I hope you see an improvement by using the gloves if you do decide to get them!

I'm very pleased to hear you are doing better on the injected methotrexate (MTX)
