   <p>Hi 112dfiglinda, <br> <br> I am so sorry to hear that you’re having a difficult time and I am glad you reached out and shared your story. I want you to know that you are not alone and our community is always here to support and to listen. I know how frustrating and disheartening it can be being on different treatment plans and not knowing what the cause or side effects of each medication can do. Knowing if you should make the change to another treatment plan can be a difficult decision. Here is an article that may be helpful: <a href='https://rheumatoidarthritis.net/living/time-to-change-your-treatment/' target='_blank' rel='noopener noreferrer nofollow'>https://rheumatoidarthritis.net/living/time-to-change-your-treatment/</a> <br> <br> We also want to encourage you to reach out to any local support group or support person to get some additional support. Here is a link to the arthritis foundation which may give you some more information. <a href='http://www.arthritis.org/' target='_blank' rel='noopener noreferrer nofollow'>http://www.arthritis.org/</a> <br> <br> Additionally, try not to give up hope. Please do reach out to the suicide hotline if you have feelings of depression or life being over. They do have online chat and a 1800 number.
