Update to ? Tocilizumab
I recently wrote for advice prior to starting on Tocilizumab as I was little nervous about side effects. I have now had 3 injections and my CRP is back to normal so have started to taper my prednisone down again. However I have been having sharp pains in my head, Rt temporal area, but also above and

Beginning of a flare or arthritis?
Seeking some input...have been very slowly tapering (0.5mg every 4-6 weeks), now on 6mg. Over the past 2 weeks I've had increasing stiffness and pain in my hands and loss of strength, and also in my left knee. I normally walk every day but I'm experiencing a lot of fatigue. Could this be arthritis

hands become stiffer with activity
Hello. I have some sort of inflammatory arthritis and I have hand stiffness but if I am active my hands get way stiffer. They don't get swollen they just feel super stiff when I close them. Is this common?

G.P did explain that even if I have a negative biopsy result l do have Temporal
Arteritis
due to the history, symptoms and raised markers.

Odd breathlessness
I cycled 27 kilometres yesterday in hilly Sheffield without any breathing problems. But I get breathless after walking 50 yards. I am disabled by back problems and arthritis could this explain the the difference.

Do symptoms go if the dosage is right?
Hi, I am new on this very interesting forum. I am 78 and have been on levothyroxine for years. Just now it is hard to see doctors so I have turned more towards the internet to try and sort myself out. As well as hypothyroidism I have intermittent seronegative arthritis and GERD and it is hard to sort

4 years on. Still nobody in Arthritis Action group
I first asked about 4 years back why nobody is listed in the Arthritis Action group. The 'Find people near me' section only brings up people in 'All Communities'. So I'd like to ask again..... Does no one register in Arthritis Action because the search still finds nobody in this group. Thanks All.

Journey update: LVV/GCA, tocilizumab and exercise
I have been diagnosed with LVV/GCA beginning of February (though MRI/MRA and PET/CT were not fully conclusive). With the help of Tocilizumab I now arrived at 12.5 mg prednisolone per day. I know that this is a very fast taper but it worked well until now and from now on the steps will become much smaller

Fibromyalgia and Osteoarthritis now rheumatologist thinks something else as well
Hi everyone, I hope you are all as well as can be. I have fibromyalgia and osteoarthritis and finally got to see my rheumatologist face to face last week after many telephone consultations (He had requested full blood tests to be done by my GP before our face to face which had been done). During my appointment

Covid vaccine & PMR
Having had my vaccine today, I asked the nurse if my antibodies would produce equally as well as someone who didn’t have autoimmune issues. She said probably not but the only way to find out that would be to have an antibody test after the 2nd vaccine. I have thyroid issues, hashimotos, and PMR, has

Please help! Is it psoriatic arthritis?!
I would love some advice about whatever I am suffering from especially lately. Everyday I feel lost and scared because I don’t know what’s wrong with me or what I can take for it to help the pain to go away. After experiencing a sudden headache, I was diagnosed with multilevel cervical spondylosis back

Prednisolone for reactive arthritis
Hi, all. My husband was diagnosed with reactive arthritis a couple of weeks ago and after no improvement with painkillers and anti-inflammatories and antibiotics, he’s been put on prednisolone. He’s pretty much bed-bound because of the pain in his ankles, knees and shoulders. He’s 44 and not had any

Octave Trial Glasgow - immune suppressed response to Covid Vaccine
There are a few news articles about this today. The study is looking into the efficacy of the Covid vaccine’s in patients who have suppressed immune systems, including those with inflammatory arthritis. Interesting one to follow. Meantime, take care out there
