So many questions!
I keep questioning my RA diagnosis not because I don’t believe it, I just believe there’s more because my muscles are involved and instincts seem to be telling me there’s more. My bloodwork was not 100% conclusive for RA but the treatment has helped. Today, my upper arms seem so heavy and achy and I

Is a sudden onset of RA possible from cold viruses?
Hi all, I hope you can help. I was wondering if there is any connection with a sudden onset of RA following a cold virus? Had a couple of mild winter cold viruses this year & both times I am in agony with really tender joints & stiffness for weeks afterwards. My last bug was 2 weeks ago and I am completely

Aching Wrists and Ankles at Night
I am 21 and recently my wrists and ankles have been aching at night once I'm in bed. I've been to the doctor's about it and had tests for arthritis done but they came back negative. Does anyone have any ideas about what it could be before I have to go back to the doctor's about it. I'd prefer not to

Why is this necessary?
Diagnosed GCA, on Pred , however Consultant has recommended an Endoscopy and Colonoscopy. I do not have any symptoms and feel bad enough, so I declined?

Ignoring bad advice.....
Hi folks, I'm totally new to this forum although not to C25K. I'll be doing W6 R2 tomorrow. I just never realised there was a forum!! Oops. Just over 4 years ago, I was diagnosed with Psoriatic Arthritis. I was absolutely gutted! I was 37 at the time and felt all the expected emotions such as disbelief

Hot Flushes increasing
I reduced my prednisolone from 10mg to 9mg at the beginning of February and just about coping with the soreness but have noticed an increase in facial hot flushes and night sweats. Has anyone else felt these side effects have got worse as you reduce?

Well the urology consultant doesn't want to see me again which is a pity as he is quite dishy! 😉 Sadly the glaucoma and rheumatoid arthritis aren't going anywhere and both these consultants are female *sigh* 😩 I should say that my eye and rheumy consultants are both lovely, which is just as well as

I’m going too fast again!
Corticosteroid dose should be increased if symptoms are not well controlled within 1 week, and a diagnosis of giant cell
arteritis
may need to be pursued, especially if prednisone 20 mg/d does not control symptoms.

I started with PMR seven months ago just before I was due to have a knee replacement. I was on 15mg pred and my consultant refused to operate due to an increased risk of infection until my pred intake was 5mg or less. I am now on 5mg and doing OK and I have arranged an appointment with the consultant
