so, because I have to wait to see the rheumatoid arthritis doctor, I'm without my humira for at least 3 doses...I'm having flare up in my toes. thinking of soaking in warm water, but due to being diabetic and having neuropathy, I have to be careful. plus have to be careful if I eat any edibles. I'm damned if I do and damned if I don't. I just want a new body.

      I hear you, the reframe I think is it’s similar to a wash out period if they were to change the medicines and affirming the medicines work. Not sure if you can try see another doctor in the mean time, try all the tricks like painkillers, meditation, even a family doctor can give differing pain killers (ibuprofen gel, movelet gel) more green vegetables and fish like salmon or cod. Less fatty oils in diet and refined sugar small management steps to help abit, some fresh air. It’s something may not give the same functional results but it’s something and the time will go by quick. If the doctor isn’t around try a nurse. Google up radical acceptance too, I think the fear of mortality is very human with chronic illness and leaning into some values helps if it’s spending quality time with family friends having cup or tea or coffee while listening to music

      Question about the post and comments stating needing to be careful with the edibles....is that due to the diabetes or neuropathy? I have neuropathy but not diabetic so just wondering...

      If you've got a meat one or I'd say, a regular digital one. At least a meat one goes higher.
