Wow!  I hope I can get on Xeljanz, but public healthcare doesnt cover it

I hope they figure out what is going on. Maybe need a new doctor?

I had one Rheumie, whom seem to dismiss my every complaint, every joint pain and swell, none of my symptoms seemed to matter to her.  Next Rheumie doesnt even look at the xrays and only reads the report and took me off meds because she said she didn't see anything.  Regular doctor hasn't a clue and is relying on everybody else to tell him whats wrong with me.  My veins in both arms have scars from all the pocking and blood draws, so drawing blood from my arms is horror.  Since 8/2016 I've been sick and no one knows what the problem is.  I've been AU for almost 30 years, no doctor seems to care, and now with the added swollen joints and pain in the last 2 years, I feel terrible every single day.

My uveitis was controlled on the Xeljanz.

Methotrexate accelerates the effect of the corticosteroids. Low doses (10 - 20 mg weekly) of Methotrexate combinated with low doses of Prednisone (20 mg daily) showed results that these medicines would not give alone even at 10 times higher doses.

Tests have shown that combining Methotrexate with Tofacitinib, the effect of Methotrexate decreases by 10% but the effect of Tofacitinib is potentiated 1,5 times
