Reducing Joint inflammation: anything you have tried that actually helps?
Hi all,(Asking for my husband who has terrible knee pain and the start of arthritis. He is looking for something other than naproxine/iboprofane, and preferably something natural. Grateful for any personal recomendations. Thanks.

Life insurance ??
Good afternoon, lovely sunny Sunday here in Norfolk? 🌞So my partner and I have finally moved, but I'm struggling with getting anyone to accept me for life insurance to cover my mortgage as I have RA and have had lung surgery?.... Has anyone else had this happen, or know of any companies that would provide

RF, RA, Rayos & Pain

She is also pretty confident I have RA (tons of tests ordered and I go back in a couple of weeks). Two things: (1) my original labs that got me referred to a rheumatologist showed a rheumatoid

Severe Spinal Stenosis Surgery and RA/PsA
Hi everyone, haven’t posted or respond to people for a while as I’ve been in quite a lot of discomfort. As I’ve previously posted about I was initially diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis and then psoriatic arthritis . I have a history of 30+ years.

Pain below buttocks both sides. Rheumatologist says could be from PMR but who knows.
PMR diagnosed 2017. My CRP — which always aligned with my PMR pain— has been normal for over a year now. I’m on 2mg prednisone. — To see whether I may be in actual PMR remission, I started a slow 7-week reduction to 1.5 mg pred (from 2mg) three weeks ago. I see my endocrinologist soon and will ask

Very low iron at same time as previously controlled rheumatoid arthritis is now very much out of control.
I've been diagnosed with RA and Lupus for over 35 years. I went through most of the known drugs over many years before being accepted on Enbrel which was amazing and gave me back a quality of life I never thought I regain. However I was switched to Benopali under the assumption it was the same generic

Toe pain
I am currently down to almost 2.5mg daily. I take 3.75 about 3 days a week (cutting a 2.5 in half). For a few weeks I have had a bit of pain in my right big toe joint and now all the toes on my left foot are tingly/achy too! Do you think this is PMR related or the start of arthritis?

Lupus/Rheumatoid arthritis & subcutaneous nodules.
Hello. I hope you’re all doing well. 5 years ago, whilst living in the midlands, I was diagnosed with negative ana lupus and rheumatoid arthritis. I was looked after by a wonderful team and felt very grateful. Unfortunately, 3 years ago we had to relocate due to my partner’s career and the rheumatology
