Guest guest Posted April 15, 2010 Report Share Posted April 15, 2010 Hi Everybody..I am so glad to have found this forum. For the past 5 years I have suffered from severe joint pain, mainly in my hands, feet, ankles and wrists. My rheumy has diagnosed me preliminary with Sjögren's, Lupus, AS and so on. It all started when I woke up one morning and I was unable to bend my right thumb. After getting a cortisone shot and being told it was from an old injury (what??)I was sent on my way. Since then I have suffered from random " frozen " fingers and the most unbelievable pain in my toes,feet and uveitis. All of my blood work was great until last year when I finally showed a positive ANA titer. My mom is HLA-B27 positive (I am not) and my sister has mild psoriasis. About a week ago I got an infection on my leg that got really scary looking. After some serious IV antibiotic treatment I began to break out all over my body with plaques and red spots. I thought it was an allergic reaction to the antibiotics but it turns out, after a biopsy, it is psoriasis. I was on Humira for 2.5 years until it stopped working and I am now on Remicade, which hasn't really kicked in fully yet. I would be so interested in hearing what has and hasn't worked for everyone. I look forward to getting some great info from all of you who know what I am going through! Thanks!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
