Bones, joints and muscles

Hello fellow sufferers... I hope your meds are working well for you !

I've had quite a 'Rollercoaster of a ride through many of the DMARDS and the consequences have  led to them being withdrawn from my treatment. Currently I'm 'managing' on Prednisolone alone...Needless to say it's  not working very well.

    The latest drug on offer is  Baricitinib...a JAK  inhibitor.... Has anyone  experienced this drug ... and how did you fare on it ?

Unfortunately I have Chest Problems which have slowed my treatment down while they're getting sorted so when Ii'll  actually get this drug is unclear.

   Any comments gratefully  received. ..... Thankyou
