Study finds associations between rheumatoid arthritis, other diseases before and after diagnosis.
A Mayo Clinic-led study involving 3,276 patients has found that people with inflammatory bowel disease, Type 1 diabetes or blood clots may be at increased risk of developing rheumatoid arthritis.

Hello everyone! I’m new here & really pleased to be here. My doctor’s surgery phoned today, as the doctor wanted to see me, I said I can’t make an appointment as I truly don’t know if I’m going to be well enough to keep that appointment due to the horrendous pain & sheer exhaustion. So they got

PMR & Fibromyalgia & diabetes & osteoarthritis & chest infections!
Hello! I was diagnosed with PMR two weeks ago...& then told one week ago that I have diabetes. I have been suffering with fibromyalgia for about 8 years, with osteoarthritis for five years, mainly in my hands and feet. As you can imagine I’m feeling fairly overwhelmed at the moment.

Joint pain.
The Dr thinks I may have RA I have had excrutiating pain for some months now but the pain seems to have gone away almost overnight although I still feel a bit stiff. Would this happen? I did have pain early this year and this also disappeared after a couple of weeks but this time has lasted 4 months

Afib and sam-e
I have afib and osteoarthritis in knee and hip. Heart doctor doesn't like celecoxib and other nsaids, says they have heart health risks. I recently read that sam-e works as well as celecoxib. But, it has a risk of afib. Would appreciate any insights anybody has regarding sam-e and afib?

Hello everyone, this is my first time. Does anyone know anything about "End Stage" RA ?
I have had Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) for almost 20 years. It has been a struggle. I was unresponsive to many treatment plans. Finally rituxin infusions eased the pain and progression. Now I am taking only meloxicame and leflunomide. I have entered "end stage" RA. Which is why I was searching online

Anyone any idea of the waiting times to see a Rheumatologist in Scotland (Lothian area)?
Hi, I have been put on the waiting list to see a rheumatologist, for suspected psoriatic arthritis, but it's been almost two months and still no word of an appointment time. Anyone any idea how long they are currently waiting here in Scotland? I'm in Edinburgh. I'm tired of being sore and breathless,

Wrist Arthritis
I am in my early 80s and have had a form of arthritis off and on in either wrist for about 20 years but just recently I have had a quite severe 'attack'. I also experienced for the first time ever an attack of gout in my left foot. I read an article suggesting that arthritis and gout may happen together

Stiff, painful swollen hands and feet
Has anyone experienced rheumatoid arthritis symptoms with Hashimotos? I’ve read that if you have one autoimmune condition, you’re more likely to get others. I’ve never had any hand issues previously, but recently experienced a sudden onset of symptoms after reintroducing some foods while on the AIP diet
