Eurotrekker commented on the post, Why Do Autoimmune Conditions “Collect”? – Part 1 8 hours, 56 minutes ago

This is so me! I have ankylosing spondylitis, erythema nodosum, psoriasis, psoriatic arthritis, restless leg syndrome, rheumatoid arthritis, and Sjögrens syndrome, which are all autoimmune diseases. I also have lymphedema, GERD, asthma, have had part of my right lung removed because it died. They assumed it was a clot that lodged for long time…

“which”

Diane T posted an update 9 hours, 20 minutes ago

I am hanging in there. I have been on Raptiva, Amevive, Humira, Enbrel, Stelara and Methotrexate for psoriatic arthritis. This has been over a 15 year period. Most stop working after a couple of years. I have been on a couple of them twice. If you are taking a biologic, what one seems to work for you?

That’s scary. But we all have to handle our pains and troubles the best way possible. The pull of grandchildren is real.

I know there are times I don’t feel like going places and I no longer promise to be somewhere. I always say it depends on how I’m feeling then. I have learned to be very honest because if I go somewhere and I don’t feel well, I pay for it big time the next day or next few days. I have actually been bedridden because of it. If I miss an awards…

So my Rheumatologist just called to tell me the Ins. right off the bat denied the Humira until I try Methotrexate. So I am going to take their dang methotrexate & doctor is giving me sample pens of humira, they will work together for as angry as my skin & joints are. I am so tired of paying an arm & a leg for Ins. coverage to have to jump through…

SWELL, I mean, not well. Our new format doesn’t seem to allow for editing.

I’ve read that autoimmune disorders like RA and Lupus can cause lymph nodes to well. Is this also true for PsA?

I ask because I have lymph nodes on my neck that swell up for 1-3 days then go away. Then swell up again (usually in a different place) and then go away. Because they don’t STAY swollen my doctors have not been concerned but I still am…
