Your Appointment Pre-Check is complete.
Great job! It seems like you're generally satisfied with your current treatment and your condition isn't having a huge impact on your daily life. Remember, your doctor is there to support you, so don't be afraid to speak up about what you need and like.
Here are some questions you may want to ask your doctor at your next appointment. Not sure how to start the conversation? Try something like this.
Hi doctor, since I've last seen you, I've noticed my [insert your symptoms here] have improved and [insert your symptoms here] have remained manageable. I've been watching how I feel and it seems like my medication is working. What things should I keep doing to stay feeling good and keep my symptoms under control?
A few more questions to ask your doctor:
Can we discuss how to maintain the positive effects of my current treatment?
Are there any lifestyle changes or additional therapies I should consider?
What should I keep track of between our visits so we can have a productive next appointment?
In addition to medication, are there any additional resources or support services available to improve [insert your symptoms] that are still bothering me?
If financial or insurance barriers are preventing you from starting (or sticking with) your treatment, bring this up to your doctor at your next appointment.
It sounds like your treatment plan might need some changes. It's important to talk about any worries you may have with your doctor. Remember, your doctor is there to support you, so don’t be afraid to speak up about what you need and like.
Hi doctor, I've been thinking a lot about my symptoms and want to talk about them with you. I've been watching how I feel to see if my medication is working. Unfortunately, I still have some symptoms that get in the way of my day-to-day life. For example, I still get [insert your symptoms/frequency – eg, morning stiffness that lasts about 20 minutes per day]. Can we look at some other ways that might help improve my symptoms even more?
Can we review my current treatment plan to see if there are any adjustments or new medications that could better meet my needs? This can also be an opportunity to discuss your personal preferences (eg, pill, injection, infusion).
What can we do differently to help get me back to how I used to feel—doing the things I need and love?
How do I know it’s time to switch therapies? If we decide on a new medication, how long will it take to see if it is working or overcome any new side effects?
In addition to medication, are there any additional resources or support services available to help me feel better?
It seems like you're experiencing significant challenges with your current treatment plan. It's important to tell your doctor and ask about alternative treatment options. You deserve to feel your best! Remember, your doctor is there to support you, so don't be afraid to speak up about what you need and like.

Why do you think my symptoms aren’t getting better? Be specific. For example, you may say: “My pain is unmanageable—and I’m having trouble sleeping through the night.”
What are the risks and benefits of starting a new medication—how long will it take to see if it is working or overcome any new side effects?

Taking a TNF blocker?
If you’re still experiencing nr-axSpA symptoms after a TNF blocker like CIMZIA®, RINVOQ works differently and may help.
CIMZIA® (certolizumab pegol) is a registered trademark of UCB, Inc.
TNF blockers like HUMIRA® and ENBREL® work similarly, so if your rheumatoid arthritis (RA) symptoms haven’t improved in 3 months, switching to another one may not help.
ENBREL® (etanercept) is a registered trademark of Immunex Corporation in the US.
TNF blockers like HUMIRA® and ENBREL® work similarly, so if your psoriatic arthritis (PsA) symptoms haven’t improved in 3 months, switching to another one may not help.
TNF blockers like HUMIRA® and ENBREL® work similarly, so if your anklyosing spondylitis (AS) symptoms haven’t improved in 3 months, switching to another one may not help.
