@chiarthritis: Biologic medications have real risks—but so does uncontrolled autoimmune disease. Patients deserve an honest, balanced conversation about the medication, the alternatives, and the potential consequences of allowing inflammation to progress. Fear should be addressed with education, patience, and respect—not judgment. #AutoimmuneDisease #Rheumatology #psoriasis #psoriaticarthritis #patienteducation

My rheumatologist has recommended a couple of biologicals to me. Both can cause heart failure! That scares me so much! Still looking for one that will suit me

I can only speak for myself I have systemic sine sclerosis ( scleroderma with organ involvement) this has been a life saver for me I have Rituximab infusions every six months been on them 2 years and it has helped me have a better quality of life it’s not 100 percent but it does reduce my symptoms by around 90 percent and for around 4.5 months I will take that my lung function is stable my heart is good joints better than without I do take hydrocloqochloroquine too and this helps too there is no cure for me but management is my best option

Agree, to an extent. I contracted c diff on actemra, my ID doc and rheumy met and decided that I cannot be on biologics because the risk of developing c diff again. I did a transplant to treat, but will likely always carry it… I now take 12 mg of methotrexate daily.
