@windyshores — I really like your ophthalmologist’s comment about not worrying about a specific disease but to get treatment that fits your symptoms. It seems as if many people do not fit into one nice neat bucket of a specific autoimmune disease. There is a lot of symptom overlap in the various diseases. I think it is best to focus on protecting our organs and making sure to take any medication which will keep symptoms manageable and maximize quality of life.

I am following the discussion - I am dealing with RA (rheumatoid arthritis) for a year now. I was fortunate to find a great rheumatologist practice in Naples, Fl - bit of a drive.
Currently I am having injections of Orencia once a month and have weined off of Methylprednisone 4mg tabs. I keep supply just in case. She stated that I am now in remission after 11 infusions. Pray that it stays that way. I have learned much while on this site. Pray for all of us with an auto immune pest in our life.

@amykcpa I was quoting @annewoodmayo whose ophthalmologist made that wise comment 🙂
