My symptoms started last July and initially impacted my hands, feet, wrists and shoulders. I was initially on prednisone for a couple months which worked well. Once I saw a rheumatologist, he switched me to hydroxychloriquin and weened me off the prednisone. It took several months for the hydroxy to start working. My Rheumatologist added sulfasaline to relieve my residual pain. This did nothing for me except caused me to gain weight. I dropped the sulfasaline about a week ago and replaced it with Meloxicam. While it hasn’t done anything to increase mobility it has eliminated all my pain and I can do all my activities without problems
