Members shared their experiences managing both rheumatoid conditions and lymphoma, with many noting the challenging overlap between the two diseases and the difficult decisions around treatment options. Several members discussed their concerns about biologic medications like Enbrel, Cosentyx, and rituximab, weighing the benefits of inflammation control against serious risks including increased infection susceptibility, potential lymphoma development, and immune system compromise, with some choosing to discontinue preventative biologics altogether. A recurring theme was finding what works individually through trial and error, prioritizing movement and self-care, and relying on alternative approaches like CBD oil and frankincense oil when traditional treatments felt too risky or weren't effective.

So my knees have been hurting me and I have done some research and Frankenstein's oil has really really helped and as I've said before CBD oil took my leukemia out of my blood still not there Blessings 2 ALLLL

Can you tell me more about the biologics? The rhumatoidness affects your eyes?

Thanks Becky, short answer, similarly. Deal with inflammatory flares as they occur. Given up on the preventative biologics (enbrel, cosentyx etc.) Movement is good medicine but doesn't much help my eyes.
Happy New Year!
