Hi Jane,

I think I'm still classed as a newbie (diagnosed in February). I have regular appointments with my specialist team and this has now included my doctor. My dosage of Methotrexate has now been up'd to 8 tablets once a week, steroids 7.5, folic acid once a week and now 2 Hydroxychloroquine tables have been introduced daily. I still have active arthritis and some pain so am being monitored. Apparently there is another drug or sets of drugs which you have to meet a criteria for and I would if the tablets I'm on do not do the job... but this is still very new to me so I do not fully understand yet!

I'm doing ok and still have a forward plan to get back cycling to work once I'm stabilised or even a fun family cycle

Louise.

Whow done Lisa glad you doing ok.

and

Louise you seem to be coping well with all your tablets.

Enjoy the Summer . The warm weather really helps the RA much better
than when it is cold
