How do you travel internationally with the Biologic? Nice to see you doing well!

i have it too. i hate the swelling in my finger joints. painful and very red/white strange. and i hate the morning fatigue. seems awful to sleep and wake up tired. i hate it. the last time i felt "refreshed" waking up (and wanting to get out of bed) was when i was on sulfasalazine- actually felt "normal"- but then i developed an allergic reaction to the med so had to stop. now on methrotrexate, (second week) so haven't found much relief yet. my tendons keep "acting up"- out of the blue- i'll get pinpoint pain in a tendon (often in my right medial wrist or lately my left medial epicondyle of elbow) which demands an instant ICE application to relieve the discomfort. i hope my insurance will approve of biologics, after a 12 wk methotrexate trial.... i still can't believe i have an autoimmune disease. we never know what the future holds!

Hello sir... Finger swelling hand and feet is psoriatic arthritis...i have also psoyrasis

<3

Thank you so much for sharing, this was very helpful. I suspect I may have cyclothymia and am currently going through the process of being diagnosed.

So amazing! Humira has been a wonder drug for my PSA, couldn't imagine my life without it. Out of interest do you still take the methotrexate alongside it?

I'm so happy for you mate. We've been on the same treatment for the same amount of time, for me it's for Ankylosing Spondylitis. Humira absolutely gave me my life back when I was at the end of my rope with my condition. Constant pain 24/7, even with regular stretching, strength training and sessions with a PT, opiates, anti-inflammatories even self medication with non-prescription meds - nothing helped with the pain. With Humira, within hours I was feeling better. Every day progressively better since then. A miracle for sure. You forget what normal feels like. Doing your laces. Going to the loo. Sitting at a bench in a beer garden. Everything was accompanied by pain before Humira. Every day was like looking into a black hole. Now, as you said, I have my life back. As for side effects - meh. To me a year of feeling like this is worth 20 years of living with pain. I am living life to the fullest since Humira as you obviously are too mate. Stay well.

Congratulations Bub! The hair looks thick and healthy as well! You're a new man! You should be very proud. I'm proud of you.

Do you able to bend your finger? How long it takes to recover motion? I have PA and can't bend pinky finger on my left hand, it really sucks. Im 33 years old((

Iam suffering as

howmuch price humira

any enthesitis? i have it on my pelvic rim on back (superior iliac crest) and also along the anterior superior iliac crest- and also along my back- c7-t3 tender warm lumps- apparently a lot of joint/tendon/ligament junctions there so sometimes it is a visible place docs can actually see chest wall enthesitis. i've had lots of flares around my scapula and ribs. so glad you are getting better with humira! i'm about to start methotrexate. i tried sulfasalazine first- but despite starting to work on my tendon pains and feel a little more refreshed in the morning- i then got hit with a massive headache that lasted 5 days and ended with a rash and fever. so no more SSZ for me. i hope i can tolerate MTX. i can't get biologic until i "fail" mtx.... love your videos. thanks for all the info! i sure can relate to your swollen and stiff finger descriptions!

Hello they doctors want me to take this. I have morbus chron and spondylytis in back

One thing that scares me about Methotrexate is erectile dysfunction and loss of libido.

Made me psychotic

i find caffine raises the chance of entering hypomania, but it also has the risk of worsening the "low" episode as well. It also depends on the timing, and the situation you are in.

Thank you for sharing; quite interesting and educational.

The most powerful natural anti inflammatory known to man is Magnesium. Almost all of modern medication is trying to reduce inflation but it always comes with side effects. You need magnesium chloride spray applied to the skin 2-4 times a day. You also need 200mg of magnesium glycinate orally once at lunch once before bed. You should also get 20ish minutes of sun daily with the spray applied to your skin. My father had psoriatic arthritis and my mother had rheumatoid arthritis. I did massive amounts of research because of them. I could write a book about it but I only have so much time to comment on YT.

Started the same way for me in 2012 with same progressive sequence, and it took 3 years to definitively diagnose. Sulfazine/Metotrexate didn't work. TNF inhibitors did and within a month but I needed to up dose and/or change them after time and each one had bad side effects. After years I found the disciplined use of probiotics, daily exercise sweat, vitamin D,C,E, carnivore/Paleo diet, no alcohol, no processed foods, plenty of water, stress limitation and a bit of Win Hoff can hold in remission without drugs. Living like that is hard but when I ease up the problem always returns. Doctors say you can't come off these drugs and go back on later, that's old disproved thinking.

Sorry for you issues with PSA.I have had PSA for about 10 years.Myy first sign was psoriasis on my face.I had a great pain management doctor,he looked at my finger nails and noticed the vertical lines on my nails then he asked how long have I had PSA?He diagnosed me with PSA.I started out on Enbrele then switched to Humira My pain level is a 7 just about everyday.

Do you have pain just in the finger or somewhere else

Yes my brother! Love this!! Subscribed

yo thats exactly my thoughts when it comes to the carnivore diet. the exact same reason iam a bit scared to try it out cuz like you said you basically untrain your digestion for fiberous food and also sugar etc.. once you eat those again after a long streak of eating only carnivore i cant even imagine how bad of a reaction you must be getting.. so you either introduce those foods very slowly but steady or you be a carnivore for life i think..

Thanks for these mate. Starting mtx for my psoriatic arthritis tomorrow and your videos have helped alleviate some concerns I had.

the habits are a good tip in bad days that keep you up, but you must go with a psychiatrist cause that you talk is a syndrome when you quit, you can´t quit the medication just like that! and you have to get therapy to

Thanks for the videos, it’s great your putting these out there

Really helpful & informative. Have Psoriasis, which is severe, PASI 17 at my last consultation. Including scalp - which you mentioned, and I have nail involvement - which I believe is also fairly common in folks with Psoriatic Arthritis. Previously had swelling and a lot of pain in my Knee, my GP sent me for an x-ray and that showed damage to the joint. That has thankfully calmed down a lot. Currently have a painful and swollen knuckle, and heel pain. Noticed a couple of toes are starting to swell up. Dermatology referred me to rheumatology, but the wait time is very slow. I'll be starting Methotrexate in a few weeks, so hopefully that helps with my skin and perhaps my joints too.

cut down sugar no alcohol have a regular routine and a day structure

I have been on Methotrexate for only six weeks now, I was a very active person. Still have pain now that they have taken me off Steroids,but all ready have more mobility in hands and body. I have changed my diet to mostly veggies and can tell if something doesn’t work in my system, working on stomach health with probiotics. Look forward to see more from you, one question did you have a lot of weight loss like I have? I have always ate very good because I was a extreme athlete in my younger years. Anyway thank you for your time.

Stop drinking and smoking weed first. How can anyone relate to your side effects when your putting that other crap in your body. Have u ever thought that could b the problem

I’m really glad I found this channel. I’d like to meet you brother if you ever happen to come to Norwich haha. It’s nice to see another man of my ages dealing with this situation strongly. I felt like a little bitch tbh at times. But I can completely relate to this. I’ve suffered a lot with my mental health. Was an alchie for 15 years because of it. Now I feel a lot better and grateful for my situation, pain free just about. Everyday is a blessing

I got PSA. 2 years sober. All the best brother

Thanks for your story mate. I situation is basically exactly the same. Currently on 20mg mtx

i had a condition called topical steroid withdrawal . i then had psoriasis on scalp too. in the end I realised my skin has a weak barrier and mould in my bedroom on the walls was causing my psorisasis looking infections. after cleaning the walls and the roof being fixed for the past months touch wood the scalps been good . just a tiny few 2mm circles of the psoriasis abut they get smaller with time. I also use a binding agent pill activated charcoal to bind to internal mould in the digestive tract trapped

Sex with myself lmao 😂 how is that accomplished?

I am the same just curious have you had an operation before your symptoms

Thanks for the video. Sometimes I wonder if people who look happy really feel that way or hide better.

you're hot

Thanks for the update. my son has been in methotrexate for 4 months and whilst it’s helped about he is not right. We hope to get a Biologic soon. Do you still take methotrexate?

Thank you giving me hope. I’m a fellow psoriatic athritis sufferer. Diagnosed last August my condition has rapidly got worse and has not responded to high dosage of methotrexate. Due to go on biologics end of August. Hope get my life back too. Was an avid gym and yoga goer but had to reduce this massively due to pain and limited flexibility. ❤

I'm 74 started in my 60 s need a walker legs very weak alot of pain hands useless hard to live like this

Where can Humira be ordered? Kindly share link or hospital.

Thank you for your feedback 😊 Glad to hear you are going well! Really hope I can go on it soon too! ❤

Thank you for sharing your story mate. It does help alot hearing other peoples stories. I have been battling away on 20mg Methotrexate for a few years and steroids as well atm. Have also had plaquinel, Lefludamide, Salazopryn, Indocid and meloxicam added at different times. Hoping to go on biological Humira next appointment to see if this helps any. Feel like I am 100 still all stiff and tired but keeping moving. My lower back and and hips seem to be the worst but all over joint pain and I have a couple clicky fingers to! 😅 That's my story x

Dammnit it’s true for me as well.( diagnosed cyclothymic disorder ) I fall into the “whatever im feeling is the correct thing to do”. If I’m feeling like deleting all social media because I’m on a hypomanic high then I do it . If I feel quitting my job with no alternative is the best thing to do in the moment , then I do it. And the same goes for the depressive states and the negative thoughts that come with those times. I’m always a slave to my emotional state in the time I feeling emotions. And I’m full of regret and despair as a result about 24 hours later . It’s the cycle that I would love to escape but never will.

"taking pills arent the answer" Let me correct you by stating that this is YOUR opinion. You're not a doctor, but a yoga instructor. Speak for youself because this has been a god send for me any millions of folks around the world. With that being said, I'm happy to hear you're doing well so far. I dont know why you keep deleting my comments though ? Is it wise to take medical advice from a yoga instructor on youtube? Should you consult a qualified medical professional instead? So many questions.

[hanks for sharing brother

You still off Prozac ? How are you ?

I recommend you medical medium diet.
