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&#039;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&#039;t we all?  There&#039;s so much less of it though, that life is of more quality.  I&#039;m doing more.  My right wrist is deformed and so eroded, that I can&#039;t bend that much at all, so I just try to avoid moving it so much. It doesn&#039;t hurt any more with it being idle!!  My feet are the very worst though. I try to limit my walking, but it&#039;s hard.  I&#039;m 57 and appreciate this drug very much!!"
