I do not have RA
I saw a Prof. in Rheumatology yesterday. He looked at the swollen surroundings of my joints, and said that it is not RA, maybe Psoriasis arthritis - going for a Ultrasound to see what is going on. So I will be leaving this group. Thanks and good luck to all :)

Stress related issues
I am interested that people think stress is a cause of temporal
arteritis
. I am baffled as to why I got it - more than a year ago now. I wondered if it was caused in my case by separation from grandchildren, a kind of bereavement. Then I thought this was silly but is it really?

How do I get my Dr. to take my request, for further testing, seriously? What have you done to get complete testing?
Hi! I'm new to this site and hope someone can help me with this. I'm 51, and 'think' I have Psoriatic Arthritis. My symptoms mimic those I've been able to find, but I would like a definitive answer. My Dr's, those I've discussed this with, simply say; "Well of course you have arthritis, you're over

Tocilizumab and coming off prednisolone
Just looking for current advice as regards the usage of tocilizumab as an aid to getting down and off prednisolone. I met a helpful person on this site and he had been on prednisolone for many years - more than my 12 years. He told me his endocrinologist had put him on tocilizumab and he had managed

Tocilizumab treatment?
A friend of mine recently suggested that I try the monoclonal antibody tocilizumab as a treatment for my PMR. My questions are as follows: Has tocilizumab brought anyone into remission and for how long? On balance, is treatment with tocilizumab preferable to the prednisone that I'm taking now? What is

Does having a blood RA of 24 mean I have rheumatoid arthritis?
I’m 40 years old with an under active thyroid on tirosint. Recently diagnosed with osteoporosis of the lumber spine and no one can figure out why. Possibly due to steroid for a back injury. I’ve been having all kinds of physical problems, rashes, joint pain, fatigue and worst of all breathing issues

Roactemra Tocilizumab - lab out of stock - advice needed please.
Some of you may remember that I am taking Tocilizumab injections (only) regularly for GCA. Not long ago, others in my situation wrote saying that they had been warned that it was going to run out for a while due to the same drug being used world wide for covid patients. This has happened here in France
