SNRA at 22 years old
Hi, I have joined this group to hopefully hear from others who have been in my conditions. I had my 2nd son in February. Ever since I have dealt with never ending fatigue, joint pain, swelling and the constant feeling like I am always run down or have been hit my five trucks. After feeling so fed up with it I finally went to see my PCP who referred a rheumatologist. Who I saw and started me on Naproxen for the pain while I was pending xrays and labs. He started me on Plaquenill my following visit because it haden't gotten much better and the plaq had been approved by my opthalmology, as you know of its ocular toxcity. Recently about 4 weeks ago I have developed a constant recurrent red eye/episcleritis as its been dx. This eye has been recurrent whenever my optha tapers or takes me off of the steroid. So now with the RA symptoms, family hx and clinical picture it is up in talks as to whether I will be using a long term topical with my Plaq/naproxen or if I will need to add another DMARD to help control the eye with the SNRA. Any outlook/advice would be so wonderful! Thank you!!
