@sizwhatitiz2 what I believe is -some docs don’t quite relate to the many meds or very strong meds some people already have to take…there can be drug interactions…it pays to be cautious and advocate for oneself .

@sizwhatitiz2 I came across your reply here, and wanted to respond. I, too, am lactose intolerant, and always have lactaid on hand. I drink Lactaid milk, and Greek yogurt and cottage cheese don’t bother me at all. Everyone is different, of course, but I was heartened to see that we both take the exact same vitamin supplements.

I currently have both psoriatic arthritis and osteoporosis. I’m currently on SKYRIZI; I don’t care for it at all. I’m not getting all that much relief, and I’m getting small infections with fever every 4-8 weeks. It’s been difficult.

My rheumatologist wants to add Tymlos to the mix, and I am fighting it mightily. I did very well with Alendronate and one Prolia injection. My lumbar spine is the only thing showing osteoporosis (-3.2), every other indicator is osteopenia.

I don’t want it to get worse, of course, but taking two powerful drugs at the same time is taking a toll on me mentally, it really is, and my doc shrugs it off. I’m in the process of finding a new rheumatologist who can provide support and balance. Rheumatologists are hard to find where I live, so that makes it difficult.

I hear you, and I understand how you feel. I truly do. I’m sending you my most healing thoughts, that our fears may be assuaged somehow and we can live our very best lives. Be well. 🙏🏻
