Is Marine Collagen a good idea? Is it helpful?
Hi, having MCTD with Lupus and RA, now quite bad arthritis too. My MCTD etc is well managed on the Mtx and Hydroxichloroquin. I have thought of taking Marine Collagen, perhaps it with help with the arthritic joint pain ? Has anyone any advice on this ?

Pain
Hi everyone, Hope you can help, I’ve been struggling with pain in my shoulders, my neck, my hip and now my wrist. I did have this type of pain last year and my doc put my pred up to 20mg for five days, it really helped. My problem now is that the last time I spoke to my rheumatologist I was not having

Naproxen and kidney insufficiency
I have kidney insufficiency (51%), aged 70. I also have rheumatoid arthritis in my feet and is very painful. Before I ask my doctor, is it advisable for me to take Naproxen and PPI's?

Pip difficulties
Hi all, I was just wondering whether anyone has had difficulties claiming pip for fibromyalgia and osteoarthritis. I have been refused and I am going through a mandatory reconsideration because I feel like I am being disregarded. Any help or advice would be much appreciated.

Too young for arthritis?
Hi, I’m a 21 year old who is suffering from knee pain and cracking/grinding joints. I am overweight and have always put the knee grinding down to my weight but recently in the past 6 months my knee has started to hurt and I can no longer squat and it hurts to climb stairs. The Dr told me I was too young

At the end of my tether.....
I am just exhausted here with pain and need some advice. I have psoriatic arthritis and what I now know as bouts of fibromyalgia. My feet have been in agony for years and now my knees and shoulders. I am on consentyx which has helped my skin but my joints are still in a lot of pain, constantly. During

Coming off Duloxetine
I've been on Duloxetine for several years and would be interested to see if my arthritis pain would change if I stop taking it. Does anyone know what the long term side effects are? I understand that I would have to come off it gradually.

Fibro diagnosis - and a prescription to do karate!
After having my NHS rheumatology appointment cancelled twice in three months, then unsuccessfully trying to get a private consultation (turned out the hospital I wanted to go to don't actually do private consultations), I finally got seen by a visiting rheumatologist at my local hospital this weekend

Pain in the jaw
Is it usual to have rheumatoid arthritis in the jaw? How can the pain be eased, does it last for very long? Y dentist has confirmed that the severe pain I have in my left jaw and the shooting pain is due tonRA,

Is anyone still taking Co-proxamol pain killer?
Hi there I've just given some quotes to a journalist from the Mail on Sunday about my experience of having to stop taking co-proxamol when it was taken off the market as a regular pain killer used by many for managing different types of pain. At that time I was getting it as a named patient from my GP

How to tell if pain is PMR or arthritis
My GP SAYS ARTHRITIS pain is bone and heat at the pain location AND. PMR is muscle pain. Is this correct. I have osteoporosis. After I am up and about pain is just about gone. My Neurologist thinks my pred is way too high 17.5 and due to possible bad side effects I need to reduce weekly. I know what

Is it arthritis? What to do....
I am in my 5th year of PMR and am down to 1.5 mg prednisone. My last bloodwork looked good, so I felt confident in going from 2.5 to the current 1.5, over 2 months. I don't feel as if my PMR is returning but I do have lots of joint pain in the morning -- in my knees, hands and wrists. I suspect it

Very interesting
https://www.healthline.com/health/rheumatoid-arthritis/hormone-imbalance I've been feeling a lot better overall and can't help thinking that reaching the 4 month mark with hrt patches has something to do with it. Certain things also started to improve within about 3 weeks of restarting hydroxychloroquine
