While medications that treat RA are a great tool for decreasing inflammation and allergic reactions, some patients may experience side effects. It is important to communicate with your doctor about any negative effects that you may experience. In this video, Vicky Ruffing, RN-BC, discusses the benefits, risks, and side effects of these medications.

  1. Dr what would you recommend for an 80yr old who also has PD? Shes in a lot of pain on her fingers especially two in her right hand she cant press them nor bend them.. Idk what to do😔

  2. It sounds like we’re all just a bunch of guinea pigs and they don’t wanna give out good medication’s like Xanax that help relax you and like it in which helps take your pain away and gives you a little boost. It always works for me.

  3. I was 60 yo & had no history of cardiac, respiratory or circulatory issues; had more of a problem with getting bleeding to stop. I landed in the hospital with 6 pulmonary embolisms + 1 DVT after taking a JAK inhibitor. I immediately stopped taking that med & began the recovery to no clots & no heart strain. No more JAK inhibitors for me!

  4. My mother was on a Biologic for 9 years 'tocilizumab' the past 4 years she had a massive foot infections which needed a skin graft, was it from the Biologic? She kept having infections and staphylococcus eating her skin away, I had enough and told the doctors to stop her infusion in April 2021, she passed away this year 1st of May.. May her soul Rest In Peace. I am not sure if it was because we stopped the infusion that she has passed, but this is playing on my mind all the time, I couldn't help to see her suffering and infection all the time, what was a son meant to do??
