in Everyday life
I saw the rheumy today to discuss possible treatments. He does not want me to take Methotrexate - he is afraid that my general poor health would be in danger.

He said there is nothing more to help me. Send me to orthopedics so they can X Ray and see if anything can be done about the left shoulder. He just told me it will get worse., I am on the max dose of pain meds.

I am having trouble dressing, since I have only one hand to pull up pants or put on and take off shirts and socks. 

I am trying not to look at the future. The support here helps so much, thank everyone.

    sorry to hear you are in so much pain. Have you asked your consultant if they can recommend Humira, although I know I had to go through numerous treatments to finally find the one that works 
    Take care xxxx

    And back at you, @Ami2301. I have never heard of Humira but I will Google it tonight. None of my doctors has mentioned it.
