a..hugs. Jill, I feel bad for you. PA is bad enough. I have RA also.
Simponi is giving me excellent results. I have none of the look of RA at all.
I can get around pretty good. My B12 is fluctuating suddenly so I am back
on here again.. It was on the high end, now it's in the middle.
hi lupin 23
I am so glad to hear from you. I put my sudden deterioration in muscle tone down to the prolonged build up to my PA diagnosis or age. but it has not improved even with injections. Yes exactly the same symptoms as you , muscle waste and horrid skin folds. I exercise quite alot , so muscle tone was good and well established and I eat a good diet. I have also noticed a sudden change in suppleness . I was very supple due to exercise but that also has suddenly deteriorated. All my bloods are now within 'norm' range but I have never felt back to the old 'me' . Also have hypothyroidism. I have no idea if PA affects muscle tone but I am suspicious. Needs a specialist doctors opinion I guess. !!!! p.s. Im not that old , lol!
I had stomach problems before diagnosis, the smell of food had me running for the bathroom. This happened every time I tried to prepare a meal. Once I started treatment the problem went away.
