What are the side effects of Golimumab when using with or after treatment of Methotrexate (injected) and Hydroxycholoroquine?
I have been having persistent flare-ups after 2 years of weekly self-injected 25mg of Methotrexate and daily Hydroxycholoroquine tablets. I used to take steroid tablets to assist me during these flare ups (usually left knee and wrists) but they have now lost their impact and in-joint steroidal injections

Everything Has Changed!!!!
Hi, I hope you are all well. Just an update really, I posted a while back as my gp had referred me to a rheumy Dr as he suspected Fibromyalgia. I hadn't heard particularly nice experiences from others about rheumatologists and was very nervous about my appointment. (its bad enough when your second guessing

Oh yeah and I'm chubby now
I used to be a size 8 and now I am a size 16I don't even know this happened. Yes I do steroids! I had been trying to avoid taking steroids but after a frightening incident where my arm and my right arm locked and was unable to get out of the bath I decided to give it a try. I have to say the first

Taken Off the MTX again
Hi everyone Went to Rheumy appointment yesterday and explained that the dreaded cough has been back for 3 weeks and I am in a bad flare. She went through all my notes from the last appointment and letter from the chest doctor and said that she cannot understand why the MTX is causing problems

Scared my lupus isn't manageable and about adding mycophenolate
I have SLE and Sjogren's Syndrome. Diagnosed with lupus when I was 12, fine most of my adult life and struggling more in the past 6 years since I stopped breastfeeding my daughter. I have been fortunate for much of my illness compared to many and have even managed for the past 6 years on 5mg prednisolone

Steroids, how long do they work.?
I'm having great relief from an IM steroid injection the rheumy nurse gave me 9 days ago, it's like a wee holiday from the usual pain and struggle. Not quite bounding along like a gazelle, but it feels like it to me in comparison to my 'normal'. Anyone have any idea how long this can last, or is it

My adventures with the beasts
My adventure with "The Beasts of PMR GCA and PREDISALONE" so far. For the last few years I have had problems with pain in my lower back and hips. This was a long story I was seen by a back specialist put on Amatrytaline and an MRI scan ordered. I was told to watch out for signs of urinary difficulties

Does Sulphasalazine cause foot cramps..?
I started Sulphasalazine on Thursday, after seeing the Rheumy nurse and having a blessed steroid injection (never thought I'd say that before as Ive always been dead anti drugs) which has helped me move around a lot better. I'm on 500mg Sulph. once a day on the evening. Yesterday was my 3rd dose and

Muscle Pains
I've recently been diagnosed with RA, and had two steroid injections, been taking hydroxychloroquine for 3 weeks, and Methotrexate for 1 week. This all started with shoulder joint pains, and then spread to all other joints, but as little as four weeks ago, I was able to walk quite long distances,

Humira not working
I started Humira February 2013 it worked for a while but I was also under the influence of a steroid injection. The pain came back late April and it has taken all this time for my rheumy nurse to admit I need another biologic. I can honestly say I have never been in so much pain for the first time

What a week
Just over a week ago, my left ankle started to swell and I couldn't move my foot up and down or right and left. By the late evening, the whole foot was so painful I could not bear any weight on it at all. My toes had completely seized and would not bend, dreadful pain down the left hand side of my foot

Hi guys For the last 5 days I've had a really itchy raised red rash (like hives or heat rash) on my hips/upper thighs and stomach. I don't think it's food related as usually that goes within 24 hours so I'm told. I'm on hydroxy at the moment and steroid injection is wearing off. Am also starting
