Worried
I read some posts on here regarding Polymyalgia and GC
Arteritis
. It’s got me worried. Is there a particular blood test that would show. Am I over worried. Though my gut instinct is telling me somethings going on. Thanks for any advice 😊

Secondary hypothyroidism
Has anyone had problems with central hypothyroidism and their tsh going to zero. Doctor refusing to raise levothyroxine because it will suppress tsh to much but my free t4 really needs a raise. Does a low tsh really cause afib and osteoarthritis or is this false.

PSORIATIC ARTHRITIS
I supposedly have psoriatic arthritis/tendinopathy however there is no evidence in my blood. My tendons attaching to elbows and feet become extremely painful. I was put on MTX 15ml injections for 8 months but stopped as my blood cells were slightly enlarged and the jury is out if it was even working

steroids and osteoarthritis
I have finally reduced my prednisolone to 2mg, from 25mg. It has taken a log time, but I am coping with the pmr. But now, I'm told the steroids have caused osteoarthritis, and I also keep forgetting everyday names of things. Do you think this is related? Also, I haven't even lost an ounce of the

Not PMR
I have been told that I don't have PMR from my rheumatologist but rheumatoid arthritis so must I leave this invaluable site and find one more suitable for my ailment? If so I will be sorry to miss my family of helpers.

Hip pain
I have taken prednisone for6years and am now on 4mg. Recently I have been getting a lot of pain in hips so wonder if it's worth increasing my dosage to 5mg for a while. I also have osteoarthritis so it could be that. In the past I have had good advice from the forum can you help now thank you.

Hello and happy new year everyone!! Aching legs when I walk more then 50 yards (in a nutshell)!!
Hello All, It's been ages since I wrote a post. I have been relatively OK for a while and then went down hill middle of December with my annual COPD freakout chest infection - heavy duty antibiotics sorted that out but of course, as I have discovered, "old age don't come alone". I am 70 now and although

If not Temporal Arteritis, what could it be?
For the past two days I have experienced flashes of pain in my left temple area and a tender scalp. It improves with paracetamol taken at regular intervals but at certain angles my head really hurts, albeit briefly. I’m pretty sure it’s not GCA because there are no vision or jaw involvement, but what

Cramps
I have been having a few problems with my hands lately, stiffness etc which my GP originally put down to old age and arthritis, but just lately I have been getting cramp in my left hand which can be painful, do you think this could be due to arthritis or possibly something else?
