hi chrissy , I have never used diazapam , take Zomorph & pregabalin , had loads of biologics & on Xeljanz which is similar to your drug , the best one I found was rituximab but not allowed because the risk of infections.

there is no painkiller that will take away pain for those with severe RA , I need every joint in my legs opperated & been waiting 4 years but they wont do it , had sepsis & double pneumonia & not gone back of my biologic , there is a big forum on facebook which may help you more , you are not the only one suffering with sever RA & there can be advice out there

Hi Chrissy, Sorry to hear that things are not good for you just now. I don't know anything about diazapan but I had a wee look on the NHS website and it says not recommended for the over 65's and not to be taken for more than 4 weeks so that may be why your doctor doesn't want to give you them.

Is it the pain that is causing your depression? It is hard when you can't do the things you would like to do and suffering too. it's understandable you get anxious and depressed, I do at times too. Perhaps have another chat with your doctor and let take care xx
