Upadacitinib "Rinvoq has been a miracle for me. Within weeks of starting it, my pain and swelling diminished. The benefits far outweigh the side effects. 11 months now and I'm literally pain-free."

Upadacitinib "I have been taking Rinvoq for over a year and a half. It really slowed down deformities. I had energy, but I had a bad reaction, causing embolism other than clotting. We were a good team."

Upadacitinib "It has almost eliminated my hand and feet pain but at a cost. I think I have had every side effect listed. Currently, folliculitis is bad and non-healing sores on my face."
