The painful opening of the eyes
Not mine - although the associated 'getting out of bed' is generally not a pain-free experience - but my boss'. I had a brief chat with her yesterday, as she was trying to arrange my final stage 2 sickness meeting (about time it was my final one, as I returned to work in February, and haven't had a

A BRIEF HISTORY OF RA AND ITS TREATMENT
I thought it would be interesting to delve into the history of RA. It goes back pretty far; farther than I thought it would. Some skeletal remains in what is now Tennessee (USA) date back to 4500 BC and have shown some signs of Rheumatoid Arthritis. So far, that’s been the earliest appearance of this

Diagnosed in December and learning to live with the ghost that hides in my body
So this is my first post. I am somewhat hesitant about opening a window on my life, but having spent some time reading the posts over a few weeks, and discovering the real sense of community on this blog, I thought I would share my story with you, having found comfort that I am far from alone in my diagnosis

The light at the end of the tunnel is sometimes an oncoming train ...
Well, I had my appointment with my 'second opinion' rheumy on Tuesday, and - after prodding me, listening to my chest front and back, and quizzing me on my pain, lifestyle, history, and bowel movements - decided that, pending some blood tests for vitamin D, antibodies, rheumatoid factor, and inflammatory

What does "negative for antibodies" mean?
Saw my consultant yesterday and he mentioned that my blood tests show negative for antibodies and that this means I have a less aggressive form of RA. I know I test positive for Rheumatoid Factor (and have since I first went to the doctor about joint pain) so what does the consultant mean. It

Anyone else have Low Factor VIII Levels???
I has occurred to me that I may be alone with this - so am asking, for it has made my APS quite difficult. Because my Factor VIII Levels are low (which is hemophilia) I was not a candidate for warfarin and heparin did not agree with me either. In other words, I have both the sticky blood of APS and

Do many of you have scleritis with your RA.
Mine started about 18 months before I was diagnosed with RA. 4 months before my RA diagnosis I was also diagnosed with type 2 diabetes and hypertension(2 1/2 year ago now).18 months ago I was having palpitations and tests showed I had SVT. A cardiologist told me I had a conduction disorder probably caused

Hello people, I'm new here so please forgive what's probably going to be lots of words to ask a silly question. (I seem to talk forever these days and make no sense!) I had B12 deficiency in Summer 2010 (169) and was told by GP to buy standard B12 supplements. I took Jarrow's sublinguals as I'd

How long should a first visit to a rheumatologist last?
My GP ran blood tests as I have been experiencing excruciating pain in my wrists, fingers and hands since July 2011. I have several swollen fingers on both hands, mostly the index and ring fingers. I also have occasional pain in my ankles, knees and hips, especially around menstruation. My blood tests

Why low B12 is associated with autoimmune thyroiditis
Many people with autoimmune thyroiditis also have antibodies against the parietal cells that make up part of their stomachs. The effects of having these antibodies can include a reduction in the ability to absorb vitamin B12 from food. (The parietal cells produce intrinsic factor which is crucial to
