My husband is so depressed

how's your hubby today? As someone else said you sound like a lovely supportive person and we who have this disease really need help. You mentioned biological meds; they are usually given when 2 of the DMARD's have failed. DMARD=disease mmodifying anti rheumatic drugs (I think, or similar ), such as methotrexate, sulphasalazine, leflunomide. The bios include Enbrel & Humira. The bios are frightened expensive, they are usually self-administered by a subcutaneous injection which is easier than it sounds. Depression is part of this disease not an additional problem, please stress that to your hubby. Men seem to regard depressionas a weakness (sorry, Robert and other guys on the forum, no offence meant!). Keep in touch, Paula and please look after yourself too, it's exhausting living with someone with a chronic disease plus your hubby will be grieving for his old life, as Lainey says. It has taken over 2 years for me to accept this.
