I posted for the first time a couple of weeks back with the results my blue horizon bloods.I got some really helpful links, and came out with an understanding that I have Hashimotos, Low folate, low ferritin, low vitD and b12 on the low side. I took the results to my G.P with My medical history hoping

A giant cell

Severe Degenerative Arthritis and Osteoporosis
I have had osteoarthritis for many years, both knees and hips have been replaced and I have degeneration in other joints. Nearly four years ago I had a spinal collapse with the vertabrae in most of my back tumbling like dominoes, caused by osteoporosis. A recent xray has now confirmed severe degenerative

Does this sound like osteoarthritis - or something else?
Hi everyone, I wonder if I can please get some help. I’ve been experiencing widespread body pain for c.3 years. I initially put this down to the menopause and earlier this year I started to focus on my under active thyroid - I’m not yet optimally medicated for that (takes a while). In May I decided

Psoriatic arthritis
Hi everyone. So, after a year and a half of worsening joint pain and numerous tests, a rheumatologist has diagnosed me with early psoriatic arthritis and prescribed methotrexate. My concern is that nothing whatsoever has ever shown up on any tests. ESR and CRP are low (lower than normal actually).

There’s no point to this post
Hi everyone, hope you’re all as well as can be. I’m approximately 3 1/2 years into this PMR. Sometimes it gets me down. I’ve been trying to start Humira for Ankylosing Spondylitis again, but the delivery company have been an absolute NIGHTMARE! It’s been so long since I last took it that I’m wondering

AF and Arthritis
Hi everyone long time no post! Pleased to say the AF has been quite stable over the last 6 months or so, a few blips here and there but usually down to lack of sleep, bugs and dehydration! However over the last 2-3 months my osteoarthritis has been getting steadily worse to the point I've had trouble

Prednisolene
Good Morning . I was diagnosed with Rheumatoid Arthritis nearly three years ago . My private consultant started me on 15 mg of steroids for a month followed by a slow taper along with 15 mg methotrexate . I had a really good 18 months playing tennis and generally feeling really well with CRP around

Amalgam fillings
Hi I’m just putting this question out there out of curiosity. I’ve not posted for a while so here goes… My cousin came to stay with me from Canada. He’s been concerned about my diagnosis for what I was originally told was rheumatoid arthritis. However they’re now calling it Undifferentiated inflammatory

Advice please
I am a healthy 65 year old with arthritis in my left hip. It is manageable but very painful and I have pains down my leg plus it disturbs my sleep. I have been told it has to be very severe to get any form of treatment. That is ridiculous- that I have to wait another 5 years or so - I can’t even get

Rheumatologist Appointment
Well back from the hospital after seeing the rheumatologist after waiting all year to see him and he's said my PMR has gone into remission but unfortunately, I have now developed rheumatoid arthritis in both hands/wrists, hips and shoulders. ☹️
