The drawback is getting so hyped about resuming stalled jobs, that sometimes I miss out on sleep. :-/ Others might have comment, I think the shock of sudden loss in mobility at the onset is probably like a lot of traumatic events; it rocks the boat mentally.

I agree and can empathise somewhat including the drug dilemma. But from you post it seems you are getting into a few project now.
I also have a lot of project sitting on hold that are creating stress and loss of sleep. I have psoriatic arthritis and its now at the point where my fingers are painful just touching something and if knock them the slightest as you do when working on cars it's agony.
They have prescribes methotrexate (see
https://www.drugs.com/methotrexate.html) and while I filled script I have not yet been game to start the treatment regime. There is a lot of recent research indicating it greatly increases the risk of skin cancer e.g.
https://ecancer.org/en/news/22686-us...of-skin-cancer As a 69 year old close to 70 light skinned ranga that already has had a large carcinoma caused by the psoriasis sores, I am very concerned about this.But my GP an rheumatologist are convinced it will change my life. I also some other chronic health issues and past drug intolerances so I am concerned about how this drug will impact on them. Anyone else here been on methotrexate? If so, was it life changing as promised?
