Anyone have any ideas on what this might be or potential solutions?

Thank you for your honesty!
I certainly know more than my doctors. One rheumatologist told me nose bleeds aren't a symptom of cutaneous vasculitis when they certainly are.
Another I told I was taking MSM. Now, not only is MSM tried and tested and proven against RA, the mechanism by which it works in causing bad mitochondria to be got rid of is well documented. He said "what's MSM?"
I'm also taking pure curcumin, liquorice root and cats claw, all tried and clinical tested against RA.
I've had one 24 hour flare in one joint in 5 months and all my symptoms of cutaneous vasculitis have disappeared.
Yet I'm still feeling as if medics are trying to push me into suppressing my immune system with methotrexate "because that's our standard drug treatment for RA."

I’m all for researching different ways of finding better health and in some cases, a complete absence of symptoms. Keep on your path. The expression don’t throw the baby out with the bathwater comes to mind. I know too well the ravages of being on prednisone for a lengthy time and the side effects. Weighing it all out re: risk/benefit is a crucial part to consider. There is so much more we can avail ourselves of. If considering some alternatives, go on trust pilot. One can find unbiased reviews from “real” folks that have benefitted from many alternative therapies. Best wishes to you.
