My oldest son, now 56, was initially diagnosed with Rheumatoid arthritis when he was in his early 40's. He has taken Plaquenil twice a day for several years now. Also takes an anti-inflammatory, and gives himself an injection of Humira once a week. When he changed Rheumatologists, the new doctor told him that he probably doesn't have Rheumatoid, but psoriatic arthritis, but they are treated with the same meds. He's fortunate in that he can move freely without pain, and works on a computer all day for his job, then uses his computer at night creating Fallout game mods for people to use in their games, plus he live-streams several nights a week.
I also have trouble getting out of bed and being able to stand up straight and walk. Once I'm up and around, I'm okay. It's just that initial part of getting up that sucks. I bought myself a new mattress thinking that might help, but it didn't.
I have psoriasis and osteoarthritis. I tke 3k mgs a day of turmeric. It works well.
Also saving up for stem-cell therapy (my body’s own) as my med insurance doesn’t cover it.
