New to the App and Struggling with Autoimmune Diseases

The only thing I take is Tylenol. And use construction devices. Ace bandage. Knee braces etc. They help with the swelling, which brings the pain down.

I noticed that salt made my nausea better too. Mandarin oranges are the best for me at soothing my stomach. I have lost a lot of hair on methotrexate so I did a Mohawk and now I’m happy with my hair haha. The top looks like it has more hair and the sides aren’t noticeable. It’s easy to take care of. I’m 57.

I’m losing a LOT of hair due to methotrexate and a biologic. My rheumatologist suggested rogain but it’s sooo expensive and tbh, being sick is expensive enough already! I’m ALWAYS fatigued but that can also be due to my fibro. When I’m in a flare my appetite goes waaaay down. So yes, similar symptoms! You’re not alone friend 🤗

I found that eating fruit and drinking lots of water or flavored water helped with nausea when on methotrexate.. also salty things like popcorn made me feel better

I was on methotrexate for 10 years it was so amazing it took the pain away but I was very sick as well and couldn’t be a healthy weight. I am now on an infusion and I love it but it starts to ware off the last 3 weeks

I am on Methotrexate for my PSA and that causes me to be sick for about two days out of the week. It is helping with the pain though. I would be in a lot more pain without it.

I’m sorry to hear about the car accident!!

Psoriatic arthritis is so hard on me. I hurt all the time. I was in a car accident in October and my psoriatic arthritis has been in a flair ever since. It has taken over every aspect of my life it seems.
