How Does The DMARD Record Book Work?
Hi all. I've just been diagnosed with PSA, and found it to be a huge relief- I have been in pain for a long time, but never found an answer. Finally I have.
Anyway, I've been out on sulfasalazine and understand the need for regular bloods. I've been given this record book, but how does it work? Do they keep the record book until they have the results and then write in it?
I take Sulfasalazine and found it to be helpful for my neck and back, but it hasn’t done a thing for my feet. 🙃
I have to get blood work yearly. Although if you’re just getting started, it will likely be checked after your 1st 6 months on the med.
I take Sulfasalazine, hydroxychlorequin and duloxetine. I have never been given a record book.
Hang in there, I've been in sulfazalasine for the last 5 years and it helps, I take celebrex for pain when needed, it's important to take the celebrex as soon as you feel a pain flare coming to control it. I have a journal for my Dr. Appointments with my questions and answers it has proven to be very helpful. Blessings!
I have shared care when it comes to my PsA , my rheumy sorts my humira but my docs surgery do my bloods.. When I ring to order my script at the hospital they check my blood results first and if they're not right it goes straight to my rheumy for him to make a decision !
