I now get remicade infusions every 6 weeks. From the cancer clinic. Has changed my life for the best. Less pain. Able to sleep. Less stiffness. I love my rheumatologist.

In the fall and winter I must sleep with a heating pad on my neck and upper spine to stop the throbbing. I wake up every time it automatically shuts itself off. I use a microwaveable rice bag in the coldest parts of winter.

I think that I probably would have less pain if I had infusions too. However, I have had to interrupt my taking Rinvoq so many times for one reason or another, that it wouldn't work out for me. I have to hold back for 2 weeks after vaccines or for 2 weeks before surgery and for a while afterwards. For instance, tomorrow I have to go see a podiatrist for a painful toe. (I am a diabetic, besides having AS, RA and Fibromyalgia.) I don't know what he is going to do. I think it is an ingrown toenail. I had 2 toenails removed earlier this year, already, a very painful process. I had to be off of Rinvoq for 6 weeks. That was a very painful process too. I will get through this too, as God is my Strength! I am so happy to hear that infusions are working for you, Lemuel!

Does anybody feel like tgey are cold and minutes later wake up drenched.....dysregulation?
