Set Point Medical device for Moderate to severe RA thus far

Posted by greysky @greysky, 2 days ago

I suffer with PMR since 12/24 25 mg prednisone down to 1 mg until 3 weeks ago could hardly move excruciating and I soon realized, I needed to go back up to 5mg 1 week later I’m 75% better !
hearing of the newly approved by FDA SetPoint Medical devise for people suffering with moderate to severe RA will be a game changer for those with inadequate response or intolerance to the medicines, prayers for it to be approved for other autoimmune diseases soon like PMR !
Best to all Bev

Yes! The research that led to the device was done by the Feinstein Institute in my neck of the woods on Long Island! My son’s girlfriend works at the same institute and reached out to that department to see if I’d be a candidate for them during the trials (but it looks like I may have something more neurological going on and am not a good fit). Hoping it becomes available for other conditions as well!
