Do the drugs work? All I find, it is getting harder to do anything without pain or tiredness. I take around 16 tablets daily? Plus blood press tables

Hi Ray..good question. I think the drugs do work in as much as I have better mobility since starting them 4 years ago. I'm on methotrexate and Sulphasalazine with several secondary medications,but boy do I have a problem with fatigue,which I feel is worse since I started the meds.I guess the only way to test it is too come off meds and see what happens,but it'll take a braver man than me,for the time-being anyway.

It took a long time to get my medication right, I'm on leflunomide, methotrexate and anti-tnf. If what you are taking is not working for you I would suggest talking to your rheumatologist or nurse and get them to re-assess your drugs.
