Carbimazole & Antithyroid arthritis
Hello, I’m a 33 year old woman, I was diagnosed with an overactive thyroid around 2months ago, was put on 15mg carbimazole a day. Started with a painful mouth ulcer so stopped medication & waited to see my consultant for advice as I didn’t know how bad the mouth ulcer had to be, he advised me to go back

PMR or arthritis
Hi all, I have arthritis in my hip awaiting hip replacement however I’m taking 6.5 of Pred. I have really bad pains/stiffness in that leg from top to bottom of my shin which the Dr has put me on gabapentin which so fat (3+ weeks) has not made any difference. Could this be a PMR flare or is it the nerve

psoriasis: how did it start?
I have psoriatic arthritis and have suddenly, in one night, acquired a red rash on both ankles. My rash is bright red blotches. Does this sound like psoriasis?

Neck and shoulder pain
Further investigation of the neck and shoulder pain has resulted as a report stating “only shown moderately severe degenerative changes” in my cervical spine, and that it is unlikely to be related to my temporal
arteritis
. No mention of the PMR.

Arthritis: Does It Ever Settle?
Good morning all! Hope everyone is coping with the changeable weather. My Psoriatic Arthritis has, over the last 18months “settled” in my left shoulder and elbow. Picking things up/Holding onto things in my left hand has become increasingly painful. It continues to move around other joint groups

Totally desperate and abandoned (sorry- this is a long rant)
After several relapses, and a PET-CT scan revealing I additionally had severe large vessel
arteritis
, my Consultant managed to get me on self-injected Ro-Actemra. This worked miraculously for me- no side effects, no illnesses (apart from a slight cold last year).

Sorry if I sound silly asking this question as I only get standard rate for motability and I am struggling massively even getting in and out of the house at the moment. I am self employed with bad arthritis in my bk and have now found

Vitamin supplements: good or bad?
For 45 years I have taken mega doses of vitamins and other health supplements every day without fail. These include 2000mg vitamin C and 400iu of vitamin E and fish oil capsules. These are supposed to enhance the auto immune system. As rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is caused by an over active immune system

PIP review
Sent back my pip review form Tuesday. Since my initial claim I have been diagnosed with Fibromyalgia and rheumatoid arthritis. Let’s hope it all goes well, it’s a stressful wait.

Newswire Spring 2023 - my thoughts
I just finally got round to reading this and am left feeling more inspired and positive on the whole. There is still a long way to go and so much to learn about the baffling diseases of PMR and GCA but when I think back to when I was first diagnosed and struggling between 2012 and 2015, there are definite

So here's my question: After being on the high levels of PRED that I've been on since AUG, is there any kind of imaging that can be done to help evaluate the current state of my
arteritis
? If so, what options do I have?
