Listen "Achieving Remission in Inflammatory Arthritis"
Episode Synopsis
This week on the UnabridgedMD Podcast, we're highlighting an episode of Rheumatology 101, a livestream series by Dr. Amigues. Dr. Amigues addresses a question from a patient: "Why can't I achieve remission despite being on seven different biologics?" Dr. Amigues delves into the complexities of arthritis treatment, offering valuable insights into:- The importance of accurate diagnosis- Differentiating psoriatic arthritis from other conditions like osteoarthritis and fibromyalgia- The process and rationale behind cycling medications- The role of biologics and why some may not workDr. Amigues also shares a personal story highlighting the powerful connection between mind and body in addressing treatment resistant conditions: sometimes, when we're willing to look, we can see that chronic conditions bring something good to our lives along with the pain. Perhaps this is one of the keys to healing!EPISODE CONTENT_____________________________________________________________________00:00 - Introduction00:33 - A Patient's Question: Struggling with Remission01:00 - Rheumatologist's Approach to Medications01:56 - First-Line Treatments for Psoriatic Arthritis02:41 - Cycling Through Medications03:11 - Importance of Accurate Diagnosis05:01 - Considering Multiple Conditions05:59 - Evaluating Different Biologics07:20 - Taking a Break from Medications08:17 - Story of a Patient’s Journey10:07 - Positive Perspective on Chronic Conditions13:30 - The Power of the Mind in Healing15:27 - Summary and Closing Thoughts16:27 - About Dr. Amigues and Her Practice17:23 - Interaction with Instagram Live Audience17:52 - Closing Remarks and Next Live Session Info_______________________________________________________________________________________________Find UnabridgedMD on social media!
