I Am Still Having A Difficult Time Adjusting To The Fact That I Have Inflammatory Arthritis And The Limitations It Seems To Have On Me.

A myRAteam Member asked a question 💭
New Baltimore, MI

I am currently now at 1000 mg sulfasalazine twice a day since last flair a month ago. However, now back on prednisone for 9 days due to knees swelling along with soreness in back/neck. I walked our dog this morning and now suffering from that. Any suggestions and/or input? My recent CRP is 30.

Idk if it’s helping or not. I wd think it’s not helping if I have these new symptoms, right? I was fine until two months ago when all this started up again.
