If it’s not helping, go back to your rheumatologist ASAP and explain. Many of us find that the original 4 DMARDs (Hydrox. Being one of them), don’t help and we need a biologic- but it is a process. Here in US the insurance companies insist we try the cheaper meds first.

I’m on hydroxychloroquine, methotrexate and Humira, it works pretty well. Doesn’t touch undiagnosed neuropathy in both feet. Have Gabapenten which helps. Pain sucks, good luck.
