#ACR20 Closing Session: really poignant words from Dr Diane Kamen:
"This meeting...allowed people to 'go to the microphones'...people who wouldn't normally get up and ask questions during the sessions...allowed for a lot more exchange of ideas."
Couldn't agree more!

Low-dose steroids in RA: what's the harm, right?
(You probably know where I'm going with this)
ESPOIR 10y data: total events, and severe infections worse with dose and time
(cumulative 8.4g ≡ 5mg/d)
No doubt some residual confounding, but real risk!

Inadequate response to MTX, what next?
“Are you forward thinking or are you stuck in the past? Conceptually it is just amazing that you can take a PO tablet as potent as a TNF or IL6 blocker... & the side effects are not so appalling.”—Dr. GreggSilverman. @RheumNow

Summary of #ACR20 part C:
- A must see talk was the avacopan story
- IVIG for myositis does work! More than just anecdotal evidence now
- DIET is key to helping improve autoimmune dz!
- low dz activity RA pts should taper off of MTX 1st when also on TNFi @jeffsparks @RheumNow

@RheumNow #ACR20 abs1923 prosp cohort study of angiographic lesions in Takayasu’ &GCA: although infrequent new angio lesions more likely in TAK. Improvement is possible in both conditions, more likely to occur in TAK. Change in the branch arteries more dynamic than in the aorta https://t.co/2KsZ6o3vtP
