Hi. Does anybody suffer from a sore scalp while on these????

I take them plus mtx and get the odd sore on my scalp that I try not to pick. Usually go away after a week or so. I use a mild shampoo now.

Hi lyns,

Sorry to hear you are suffering a bit with this strange complaint.

Pop along to your GP and ask whether your inflammation is effecting your scalp.

A condition called Giant Cell Arteritis can cause the symptoms you describe.

Often linked with Polymyalgia Rheumatica.

Don’t leave it to chance, go and get checked out.

Good luck
