I'm glad you're getting some help from Mind @anthy
I see. Although you're sort of starting again from the beginning, do you feel as though you have a plan in place? -
Hi Tori Scope
Thank you for your reply I don't have a plan I'm going along with my Rheumatology consultant I have been on Cimzia injections they've just stopped working I've tried Humira I can't remember the other ones I've been on Steroids inflectra injections which is done at the Hospital these injections wipe out the immune system to try and slow the AS down but on the down side I keep getting infections.
I know I keep moaning normally I'm upbeat but like everyone else Covid and being locked down has affected us all I just need to get my head above water. I'm so sorry for moaning I have know one else to talk and discuss this with since losing my mum in 2019. -
You're not moaning, don't worry @anthy. You're going through a tough time, and we all need to get things off of our chest from time to time. You're welcome to post here any time
I'm sorry you keep getting infections, is there anything that can be done about those? I imagine it's part and parcel of the injections you're getting, but I hope they don't make you feel too unwell?
I'm also sorry to hear about the loss of your mum. Have you spoken to anyone about that? How have you been finding the grieving process?
