Luckily getting off prednisone soon (got my second dose of Stelara recently), but in the meantime, these side effects really suck. Just curious if others experienced them what they did to help. Specifically, the limb swelling and gum sensitivity.
Just curious what you all did to help with that if you had it. Thanks in advance, friends.
I’m going to be tapering in 2 weeks, so I hope to see these issues go away with time, but in the meantime, I just need to manage this. It’s getting a bit worse. I knew there would be side effects, so I’m not surprised or anything, but I’ve tried exercising and elevation and warm soaks. They make it a bit better, but it still sucks. The gum sensitivity is brand new, and I haven’t found a solution for that at all. It hurts to floss even. I take very good care of my teeth and had no issues before this leading up to this.
