Confused
Hi. My doctor has ordered lupus anticoagulant and antiphospholipid antibody blood tests. I have been diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis. When I asked why I was being tested she said it was to rule out APS. I am really confused as to why she thinks I could have this syndrome. I am in my early 20s, never

2nd session of week 1
Just finished my 2nd session .... was tough but got on with it .... not sure if I'm 'cheating' by doing it on my treadmill at home .... but have osteoarthritis in my knees & find the treadmill is lessening the pain ! I guess the fact I'm attempting this challenge is enough .... I'm feeling proud of myself

HRT and arthritis
Hello! I’m a post menopausal woman who has been dealing with all the effects of menopause and also a new psoriatic arthritis diagnosis. I recently started HRT for the menopause symptoms but have been noticing that my joints feel really good since I started HRT. I think it has reduced my inflammation.

What Next?
Should I have had a consultation regarding my Diagnosis of PMR, i went to the doctor with pain and said I was fed up of being fobbed off with the usual diagnosis Old age arthritis and being obese. I have never hear of this before I thought I may have rumathoid arthritis as places have been swollen,

Prescribed hydroxychloroquine
I’ve not been on for a while After months on amitriptyline for fibromyalgia I’ve just seen a different rheumatologist at my follow up and was diagnosed with inflammatory arthritis/early RA. She prescribed hydroxychloroquine which sounds quite well tolerated. I’m a bit worried about the long term eye

Running with lower back osteo arthritis
Hi, I'm just doing Cto5k and I'm on w3r3. I used to run (sprinting) at school, I've not really run since and now I'm in my 60s with osteoarthritis of my back which is not overly troublesome but I'm also cautious about not making it worse. Does anyone else have this condition and how has running affected
