10. This is interesting to me

I had to switch medications a few months ago for my RA. As a part of that my rheumatologist also weaned me off of a second medication that I had also been taking.
I had to go see her this past week, because I was experiencing mild, but persistent, inflammation even with the new medication. Now, we're going to try and bring the second medication that I had stopped back into the picture. But this shouldn't be necessary. The newer meds are supposed to target specific immune response all alone.
I also wondered if I was finally just beginning to succumb to the slow progression of the disease, and this was the new "normal" for me.
Have you heard of anyone else with an underlying condition who had the vaccine and is experiencing new symptoms?

I'm still glad I got the vaccine, even if there are side effects specific to people like me. I'm just curious if I should let my doctor know that I heard another anecdote from someone who was also vaccinated.
