In remission ?
Hi has anyone experienced being in remission with rheumatoid arthritis ? I've been on sulfsalazine and methotrexate on separate occasions, I've been advised to stop methotrexate due to heart palpitations since December and to await my appointment with cardiologist my inflammation levels are normal,

Rheumatoid nodule?
Hi, They think I have early RA or an inflammatory arthritis. I’ve just noticed a round swelling next to my middle thumb joint. I’m positive for RF and have read that nodules are quite common if you have RF. Is this nodule a sign things may be progressing?

Rheumatoid arthritis, pregnancy and the covid vaccination

Seronegative, what does it mean
Hi All I love following this group which is invaluable for the information shared, I’ve seen quite a few posts with people who are seronegative, what does it mean please? From what I can gather it’s a marker on whether you could have arthritis but even having a seronegative result doesn’t mean you don

Stuck
I have been on 24 mgs deflazacort (and up to 40gs) for 3 months because of a flare. I am trying to reduce by 10 percent per fortnight but I don't seem to be making any headway: Lower back, groin, knee, shoulder pain and fatigue. I was diagnosed in August 2018 and from 15mgs I reduced with very few symptoms

Am I a vulnerable person?
Are people with Fibro, Diverticular Disease, and Arthritis considered as vulnerable? During the first lockdown, I wasn't sure about registering on my local council listing and now I am even more confused. Is anyone able to give me any advice, please? Thanks.

The guardian now about rheumatoid drugs
https://www.theguardian.com/world/2021/jan/07/covid-arthritis-drugs-could-help-save-lives-of-seriously-ill--patients-research-finds?CMP=Share_AndroidApp_Other Looks like Tociluzmab and Sarilumab may be helpful in covid treatment on a larger study.

New Member Seeking advice on having the vaccine for covid-19 while having Roactemra 162 mg weekly injection for Giant Cell Arteritis (GCA).
Hello, I was diagnose with GCA in April 2020. I took prednisone alone, 40mg/day, for 4 months, gradually reducing the dose, until at 25 mg/day it no longer reduced the inflammation. At the end of August I started weekly injections of RoActemra and eventually reduced the prednisone to zero in January

Benepali
I have inflammatory arthritis and will start Benepali treatment soon. Has it been successful for people and does it cause weight gain?
