Mental and Emotional Health
This. Book. 🫶🏼 I bought this on a whim after the last “chronic illness” devotional I tried was so toxic positivity-based that I threw it across the room 😅 It’s Not Fair was exactly what I needed…the perfect balance of sarcasm and Scripture. I was crying one minute and laughing the next. 100000% recommend for any other Christians who need to read a book written by someone who just GETS IT without the toxic positivity. Even if you’re not a Christian, this can still be for you. She’s got some great tips for bad days and you will snort laugh at some of her stories.

Medication and Treatments
Has anyone had severe stomach pain from Leflunomide? I know it’s not a typical PsA drug (mostly used for RA?) but my rheumatologist recommended adding it to my regimen (Rinvoq, hydroxychloroquine, celebrex and duloxetine) because I can’t tolerate methotrexate. I took it for almost 6 weeks and started with bad GI symptoms; after a few weeks I noticed the stomach pain. When I messaged my rheumatologist she said to stop it. I’ve been off it for three days but my stomach is still painful, especially after I eat. How long will it take for my stomach to return to normal?
