Hi everyone,
I’ve been trying to understand my own situation better and I’d really appreciate hearing other people’s experiences.
For me, it feels like my symptoms progressed really quickly over the last few months. Before that, I didn’t really have many noticeable issues, and now it almost feels like things went from 0 to 100 pretty fast.
I’m wondering if anyone else has experienced something similar:
Did your symptoms come on suddenly or develop slowly over years?
Did anything seem to trigger a flare or rapid change (stress, illness, injury, medication changes, etc.)?
Once things started, did they stay consistent, fluctuate, or continue progressing?
I’m just trying to understand if a rapid shift like this is something others experience or if it usually builds more gradually over time. I’m not sure if something triggered it for it to go from 0 to 100 or if this is just normal.
Thanks in advance to anyone willing to share their experience.

I’ve recently been given a sample pack of sotyktu and I’m wondering how great it is with reducing joint pain? My biggest concern is joint pain as I can hardly get out of bed and doing normal activities is painful. I have been out of work for about a month now and I only have another month of short term disability and I’m scared my joint pain won’t go away in that time.
