Just wondering
At what point should I ask my gp about getting a handicapped parking tag for my car? With the way my arthritis has been acting with me I’m finding it hurts to walk but so far when I park my car in a parking lot. My feet seem to be getting worse from the arthritis pain I have in them. I actually push

can Blood work change??
I've had 2bloodtests done, first shows Lupus and the second shows APS and rheumatoid arthritis... (I have many more symptoms that are relevant to lupus than APS/arthritis) why does blood work change? Has anyone else had this?XXX😔. Can it only be detected if I'm having a flare??

Medicinal cannabis for Arthritis.
Hi everyone, has anyone in the U.K ever received medicinal cannabis for their RA? Not CBD " medicinal cannabis" Does it actually work?

Arthritis and pain
I have ‘mild arthritis’ but get pain walking around the block now. I tried C25K in the past and got to week 3 or 4 before I’m in a vicious cycle where it hurts to run but I need to move in order to lose (5stones) weight at 5’1”. I’m speaking to physios tomorrow but asking if anyone is in the same boat

Methotrexate book?
Hi I am newly diagnosed with Sero Negative Inflammatory Arthritis and today I visited a Pharmacist as I have a cold. They asked to see my Methotrexate book which I don't have, can someone tell me what I'm missing please, as they wouldn't advise me without seeing it. All I received from the hospital

Possible Rheumatoid arthritis
Today I’ve been prescribed a short course of steroids by the GP for possible Rheumatoid arthritis. My hands are really bad today…..lost my sense of touch but have had tingling and swelling in my hands for 3 days now. I also have slightly swollen toes. My glands are up and my throat feels gravelly/ lumpy

PIP Rheumatoid Arthritis
Hi everyone I’m new to this forum I was diagnosed with RA when I was 17 back in 1979 but have coped really well until 2009 when osteoarthritis combined with the RA started to wear me down. I have been on Rituximab since 2011 which brings my flares under control after a few months but now my immobility

Ultrasound
Good day 🙏 I had an ultrasound sound guided steroid injection appoint. for a lump on the side of my wrist yesterday. The technician didn’t go ahead with the injection. He said that it was a “solid lump”. I’m really worried as to why he chose not too. He wasn’t very helpful when I asked. I’ve seen so

Tocilizumab
If, as I understand it, NHS England only funds this drug for one year per individual then I will reach the end of my allocation in late July. It has taken months on this drug to cover the reduction in Prednisolone and I am now down to my lowest level ever. My Ophthalmologist is also discussing reducing

Hi, I was diagnosed 4 years ago with psoriatic arthritis. I have tried Several different drugs hoping to get some kind of relief from the pain, mainly in my hands and feet but until now the only one that I can take is 10mg of leflonamide, every thing else including a biologic that was tried makes me
