I’m about 3 months in to AP…today I did a yoga video, and for the first time since this arthritis hit me last summer, I was able to do a cat stretch and a downward dog pose! Neither are difficult poses, generally, but they require my wrists to be in a position that my wrists haven’t wanted to do. I can still see the puffy inflammation in my wrists, my fingers are still puffy, my ankles and knees are tight, my feet are somewhat puffy…I’m not better. But I’m getting better. So I thought I’d share my victory. 🙂
good to hear Jas – that’s a very good improvement just 3 months in. You must be very encouraged! 😀 😀 😀

Thanks for your update and keep bringing them when you can…we’re cheering you on and it will be so helpful for other newcomers.
As predicted, I’ve hit a few roadblocks along the way. Not bad, but just that some days are still better than others.
I went to see my rheumy today, and she was pleased and surprised at how well I’m doing on this protocol. She had been wanting to put me on MTX, but since I’m improving so much, she said I can stick with this instead.
YAY! I’m still on the sulfasalazine, and she said no going off of that until I’m all better. I’m OK with that.

Julie, that’s great to hear you’re improving and sounds like you’re well-informed and know what to expect…the ups and downs are common and continue until a sustained remission is reached.
How wonderful that your rheumy is on board, too! 🙂
