I take Rinvoq and so far have had good luck at least on the Psoriasis side. I'm unfortunately beginning to accept there just isn't a help for the pain.
My Rheumatoligist has suggested that get in infusionssf Siponi Aria? I am going to get my booster next week then I have to wait 2 weeks before I start the infusions
