Well here we are a week in to 2021 – we are still being affected by this pandemic which has been going on since March 2020.

Few weeks before Christmas I had started on Otezla but after being on this medication for just over a week my body decided it did not like it at all. The rejection was quite bad within my body, it resulted in not being able to walk for days. Knees went bright red, sore and very hot to the touch which is not good. Not only suffering with not being able to walk, it also was not nice to not be sleeping and then every morning being sick due to the medication. After all of this and speaking to my GP, it was without a doubt taken off the medication as an emergency due to the side effects.

Now Christmas and New Year is out of the way, going forward now along with Rheumatologist, will now be looking at going on to Adalimumab (Humira). Which will be injection form in a sort of epi pen. When was on Methotrexate in this form, it was good and less side effects. Only downside was my partner had to administer the medication, which I am grateful he is always willing to help.

As Wales is now in another full lockdown, means no seeing family as they live 100 miles away. Home working & jugging Home Schooling at the same time along with doing things when I can around the house 🙁 It is always all go!!!

Lets see how this month goes as I know I have something to look forward to towards the end which is our hot tub being installed. Cannot wait!!!!

Hope everyone has had a good Christmas and New Year even though we are in uncertain times
