Recommendations for the best London Hospital
Hey there, Can anyone recommend a London based Hospital with the best rheumatology department or a good specialist in Rheumatoid Arthritis? I’m not getting the right care or help with my current team and I’m going to change. My condition just keeps getting worse and I’m so worried and fed up. Any suggestions

Hello everyone
I was diagnosed with temporal
arteritis
in April 2021 after experiencing temporal headaches, visual disturbances and jaw claudication for quite a while but self medicating and thinking it was just stress/tension.

Rheumatologist consultation since my original post
Today I have, finally, received a copy of a letter from my Rheumatologist, sent to my GP, following my consultation on the 1st July. Under “Diagnosis” she has written; ?Polymyaglia Rheumatica, ?Ploymyalgic Arthritis. So, apparently, the jury is still out! Under “Medication” she has put; 1. Prednisolone

Back pain
Hi everyone I’ve finally seen my RA consultant, first time since 2019, my recent spine X-ray done last December due to severe lower back pain has shown osteoarthritis, I’ve also had a scan for osteoporosis which I apparently have as well. The consultant has recommended amitriptilene for pain relief

Apixaban and joint pain...
Hi all, I'm looking for advice from anyone who has changed from Warfarin to Apixaban. Exactly a year ago this month I asked my GP to make the change which he duly did but I think I'm starting to regret it now, only because in that year, my health in other areas appears to be going awol! Namely that

Lifting of Restrictions & Impact on the Immunocompromised
After yesterday's announcement to lift restrictions on 19 July, here are some interesting tweets from Blood Cancer UK, reflecting concerns of those who are immunocompromised. As someone with Rheumatoid Arthritis, it completely resonates with me! Just wondering how others are feeling. https://twitter.com

Tocilizumab treatment extension, and latest PET-CT scan results
Three weeks ago, I discovered (via this wonderful group) that the NHS had decided to extend Tocilizumab injections until March 2022 (and indeed, my suppliers, Lloyds’ Homecare, arranged a delivery whilst I was away visiting my mum). 2 days later, my Consultant emailed me to say that she

Calling UK tocilizumab or epipen users: How do you dispose of your self-injector? Who arranges it?
Someone on the Vasculitis forum is encountering difficulty - is expected to attend the hospital to be handed her self-injection medication because they claim there isn't a protocol for disposing of the needle.

Ankle arthritis pain before Total knee replacement
Hi, I am having a total knee replacement in a few weeks after an 18 month wait due to Covid. I’ve had 2 steroid injections in it, the most recent one being 5 weeks ago. This made my knee feel much better although bone-on-bone on one side so walking bow-legged, I could get around that much better. However
