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.

@cracker
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.
