I was diagnosed with Psioratic Arthritis in 2019, tried Methotrexate pills then injection and now trying Leflunomide. Having a bit of a hard time with it all really.

             Hi Andy, I hope the leflunomide helps you, my rheumy consultant tried all the usual drugs but when all else failed I am now on MTX and a biological. It can take a lot of trial and error to find a drug to work but hang in there. Don't be scared to keep on at your rheumy team, and your GP for pain relief, things will get better eventually.

    Welcome to the community @Chupa1uk :) I just wanted to say that I'm also really sorry to hear you're having a hard time with it all. Are you able to reach out to your medical team to tell them that you're still finding things difficult?

    I've moved your post into our category for discussions relating to dealing with chronic pain, and tweaked the title slightly, so that other members can find your post and connect with your more easily. We have plenty of other members who are experiencing something similar, so I hope you can find some helpful advice and support here on the community.
