I have had my second infection, this time i had a chest infection, right lung and was told not to take my methotrexate injection and was given some kind of antibiotic tablets. I'm back on injection now and the other day my middle finger was bent and pain in all my knuckles, one's connected to my palm and all 4 above them, lasting 4 days, to which peeling patatoes or even buttering toast was very painful and both my shoulders have started to ache, keeping me awake also.
Then after having my second Dexa scan after 7 years, was told that my osteopenia had got worse and it's on the verge of crossing over to osteoporosis, i was told i have to be very careful now and my rheumatologist will want to see me and come up with a plan.
What did the woman mean by a plan ?
I'm only 5 ft, 7st
diagnosed with psoriatic arthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, bones on verge of osteoporosis and got brac1 mutation gene.
How much can my body cope with what ever medications they want to give me, next time i see rheumatologist.
