How to persuade GP?
I have an appointment with my GP soon and I'm planning to ask for a referral to a rheumatologist - how to I get her to refer me? I saw her previously and focused on my most problematic area, my spine. The x-ray apparently indicates wear and tear arthritis but symptomatically I don't fit that diagnosis

Rheumatoid pain
I was diagnosed 2 years ago with seropositive rheumatoid arthritis. I am currently taking weekly tocilizumab which seems to be controlling things, however every week I have pain in different areas. In my hands, then wrists, then hip, then knee. Is this normal to experience pain all over the place, it's

Adalimumab effect only lasting 10 days
I am on fortnightly injections and find day 1 to 11 I am quite pain free and not fatigued, but then it wears off. Does anyone else experience this?

What happens when you end tocilizumab
I have GCA and PMR , plus a few other conditions.. I am on Prednisolone, Azothioprine and tocilizumab . I am getting towards the end of the tocilizumab injections as the aim is to get to 7 mg Pred and I am about to reduce to 9 mgs. The tocilizumab has done wonders with unreadably low CRP and ESR of 3

Don’t underestimate your strength and ability to cope
I was diagnosed with PMR about 7 years ago and most of us who have PMR and are on prednisone have “full plates” and feel overwhelmed. This last year has been particularly challenging for me yet, surprisingly, I find myself still standing and wanted to relay a message. History: Recently I hit a pothole

I’m rare apparently!
Just had a f2f with my rheumatologist upshot is I have both RA and PSA usually have one or the other not both . I don’t have psoriasis but it’s in the family. So a game of messing with meds . First off upping MTX. I’ve had problems with the higher doses before so going to try again. He doesn’t want to

Arthritis in pinky finger
I just met with a hand orthopedic dr. The top joint of my little finger has osteo arthritis. He told me that really the only thing to stop the pain is to fuse the joint. Has anyone done this and felt better or does it cause secondary problems?

I'm female, mid 50s and have osteoarthritis. I hope someone can answer a few queries. Is it normal to get severe flare ups with osteoarthritis or does that point to rheumatoid arthritis?

Osteoarthritis and lupus
I was wondering if anyone here has been diagnosed with both? I have lower back pain, but never had any X-ray that shows any degenerative changes. My rheumatologist mentioned last Thursday (over a phone appointment) that he thinks it is osteoarthritis in my lower back. I have significant morning stiffness

Should I start on adalimumab
Hi all, I've had RA for about 25years and after a few poorly years have been relatively stable on ( mostly)25mg Mxt, with a knee replacement and wrist surgery along the way. Since December I have been having fairly regular flare ups, one of which put me in A & E with a high CRP level & severe pain.
