I have no doubt many of our RA patients will take GLP-1 agonists in the future.
Here's some data @UCLA showing significant differences in not just body weight and HbA1c, but pain.

It's always so dispiriting to see PMR patients rack up steroid side effects in front of your eyes.

Dietary changes are intermittent fasting are common in axial spondylarthritis (axSpA) patients, possibly reducing inflammation. A study found 55% currently on a diet and 31% fasting. Many believe these practices improve disease activity. Abstr#1459 #diet #axSpA @RheumNow #ACR24
