New diagnosis
Hi there, I got I'll from glandular fever in my late teens and have been given different diagnosis over the years and now I have been told I have rheumatoid arthritis. I'm hopefully going to start sulfasalazine and just wondered has this been successful for people? I've been so fatigued for so long,

Pericardial effusion
I had taken Prednisone for about three and a half years for PMR and stopped about four months ago. In December a follow up CT scan for something else showed fluid in the pericardial sac. One of the causes listed for this to occur is an auto immune condition. I have never seen anyone on this forum speak

Exercises and do they work
I have just started to get the leg pains especially when walking. I have posted before and had some lovely response. I just wanted to ask if exercises do actually help with pain. I have been doing the group of core, hip and pelvis exercises given to me by physio. Three weeks now and not missed one

Knee massager with red light
Has anyone with osteoarthritis in knees try a personal knee massager with red light instead of knee surgery? If so did it work?

PMR or PsA or both
My Rheumatologist left the practice and I meet with a new one last week. He says that he is not sure I have PsA but maybe only PMR. Wants me to stop methotrexate immediately and try reducing prednisone my 1 mg a month. Currently are 12.0 mg. Happy about this nut scared too. If he is wrong, when and

hot flushes
I’ve struggled with these for about twenty years and they have diminished over time. However, since going on preds, just over five weeks ago, they have got worse. Nothing like when they were at their worst when I was younger, but boy do they wake me up, when my sleep is pretty poor anyway, since the

PMR - update on doctor call
Hello lovely folks, thank you for your help yesterday. Spoke to the lady doctor this morning and I am happy with how it went. All my results came back normal and the conclusion was that if it wasn't for my PMR, I am in pretty good health for my age. That aside, she said not to change anything with

Charity request for help: GCA patients in England
Dear members with GCA, as you may be aware, NICE and NHS England don't currently allow repeat treatment with tocilizumab for GCA patients who relapse. This means that if you live in England and you've had a year's treatment with tocilizumab, you won't be prescribed it again. However, a recent study
