Methotrexate not working?
How long until you say methotrexate for rheumatoid arthritis is not working? I have been on 15mg since early December and my feet still hurt. Is there a chance it could finally kick in or is it just not working?

Feet pain
Hi everyone, new to this site. I had an operation to remove a bunion and straighten a hammer toe ( which I was told is caused arthritis) 18 months ago and I am still in a lot of pain when walking. Has anyone else got arthritis in their feet and what symptons do they have? How do you manage pain in feet

Study finds inflammatory mechanism responsible for bone erosion in rheumatoid arthritis
Only for those with a real love of dense medical language I fear https://medicalxpress.com/news/2021-03-inflammatory-mechanism-responsible-bone-erosion.html (and no, I don't understand it either ! )

Lack of communication
Hello , I have severe Ankylosing spondylitis for which I am on Adalimumab. I saw my Consultant two weeks ago we agree that I would stay on the Adalimumab and he would do a new prescription that day and send it to Healthcare at home. I only had one injection left which I took that day the 26th. As I

Update to ? Tocilizumab
I recently wrote for advice prior to starting on Tocilizumab as I was little nervous about side effects. I have now had 3 injections and my CRP is back to normal so have started to taper my prednisone down again. However I have been having sharp pains in my head, Rt temporal area, but also above and

Beginning of a flare or arthritis?
Seeking some input...have been very slowly tapering (0.5mg every 4-6 weeks), now on 6mg. Over the past 2 weeks I've had increasing stiffness and pain in my hands and loss of strength, and also in my left knee. I normally walk every day but I'm experiencing a lot of fatigue. Could this be arthritis

hands become stiffer with activity
Hello. I have some sort of inflammatory arthritis and I have hand stiffness but if I am active my hands get way stiffer. They don't get swollen they just feel super stiff when I close them. Is this common?

Odd breathlessness
I cycled 27 kilometres yesterday in hilly Sheffield without any breathing problems. But I get breathless after walking 50 yards. I am disabled by back problems and arthritis could this explain the the difference.

Do symptoms go if the dosage is right?
Hi, I am new on this very interesting forum. I am 78 and have been on levothyroxine for years. Just now it is hard to see doctors so I have turned more towards the internet to try and sort myself out. As well as hypothyroidism I have intermittent seronegative arthritis and GERD and it is hard to sort

4 years on. Still nobody in Arthritis Action group
I first asked about 4 years back why nobody is listed in the Arthritis Action group. The 'Find people near me' section only brings up people in 'All Communities'. So I'd like to ask again..... Does no one register in Arthritis Action because the search still finds nobody in this group. Thanks All.

Journey update: LVV/GCA, tocilizumab and exercise
I have been diagnosed with LVV/GCA beginning of February (though MRI/MRA and PET/CT were not fully conclusive). With the help of Tocilizumab I now arrived at 12.5 mg prednisolone per day. I know that this is a very fast taper but it worked well until now and from now on the steps will become much smaller

Fibromyalgia and Osteoarthritis now rheumatologist thinks something else as well
Hi everyone, I hope you are all as well as can be. I have fibromyalgia and osteoarthritis and finally got to see my rheumatologist face to face last week after many telephone consultations (He had requested full blood tests to be done by my GP before our face to face which had been done). During my appointment

Covid vaccine & PMR
Having had my vaccine today, I asked the nurse if my antibodies would produce equally as well as someone who didn’t have autoimmune issues. She said probably not but the only way to find out that would be to have an antibody test after the 2nd vaccine. I have thyroid issues, hashimotos, and PMR, has
