Another complication is that it can affect your sight. A condition of being on the drug is that you must have a specialised eye test yearly, that often needs a hospital appointment.
No-one would want to put themselves through that, unless absolutely necessary. His medical advisor should have discussed all this. I wonder if he is blustering and isn't actually taking it.
When mine was stopped in Coronary Care unit, after nearly twenty years of it, on increasingly higher doses, I asked my RA consultant, Why?
The cardiologists don't like it,, he said!
It shouldn't be taken lightly, just because it might help.
It has also discovered that one of the RA biologics drugs has been successful in helping seriously ill Covid patients.
At nearly £1000, a dose, I don't see the NHS rushing to prescribe it.
The irony is that my treatment, using biologics, was postponed due to Covid!
The thought that this madman is President of the most powerful country in the world, terrifies me.
