rheumatoid arthritis
"I started Xeljanz 1-1/2 years ago, after all the years from 2008, having pain and stiffness and some relief.  This Xeljanz so far has been a miracle to me.  I'm down to 2-1/2 mg. of Prednisone, which I hope to be able to completely be off it, except for flare-up times and needing a tapering of it.  I still have chronic pain every day, but don't we all?  There's so much less of it though, that life is of more quality.  I'm doing more.  My right wrist is deformed and so eroded, that I can't bend that much at all, so I just try to avoid moving it so much. It doesn't hurt any more with it being idle!!  My feet are the very worst though. I try to limit my walking, but it's hard.  I'm 57 and appreciate this drug very much!!"
