Currently I am halfway through my first prescription for the medication I take for Psoriatic Arthritis. The common wisdom is that it can take up the three months to see results. I am six weeks into taking it and have seen improvement already. I realize each person’s experience differs and at times a lot.
When I first started it, I could barely walk across a room without having back spasms. Now I am walking four to six blocks a day which would be longer but that one knee ugh.
What really caught my attention was standing during worship as we sing at church. I had not done that for a long itme.
I still have cravings the day I take it and the day after. Chocolate ice cream with bananas is one. For some reason Fritos Corn Chips is the other. That one is surprising because I hadn’t eaten those in years.
My hope is to make so much progress that I resume my international travels next summer. 🙂 But I am also realistic knowing flares can come unexpectedly.
It seems longer ago than only seven weeks ago that the Chief of the Rheumatology Department at the University Medical Center I went to in June told me, “You present us with an interesting situation.” Words no one wants to hear from a doctor. lol
Whether more progress occurs or not, the main thing to me is to do as Paul wrote in Philippians 3:
Not that I have already obtained all this, or have already arrived at my goal, but I press on to take hold of that for which Christ Jesus took hold of me
Thank you for reading. God Bless.

I don’t know what’s up with WordPress, every time I try to comment on your site I have to login each time with my info. It’s a pain, so that why most of the time I select “like” without commenting.
Sorry I did know about the trouble commenting

Glad the meds are working! Is this the methotrexate?

I told my mom about your results. She’s been reluctant to take it due to the side effects.
So glad you’re making progress! That’s great!!
Good verse to reflect on.❤️

I’m okay, we’re in the middle of a floor remodel and that’s been a bit stressful…this too shall pass though.😉

And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death.
