switching to a carnivore diet has put my PMR into total remission
I know the subject may be viewed as sensational or just plain wrong, but that is what I have concluded. At the time I was diagnosed with PMR, I already had diagnoses of psoriatic arthritis and fibromyalgia. My PMR started in 2019, about 8 months prior to covid. I was put on prednisone and experienced

Neutropenia whilst on Tocilizumab
Hi. Just wondering if anyone has had a similar experience. Diagnosed with PMR and GCA Nov. 2021. For last 2 months I have been on weekly Tocilizumab injections; this followed a further flare up in December 2023 when the entire aorta was inflamed (I have never had cranial symptoms). I was certainly shocked

I see the actor has discussed his arthritis on Instagram and got a whole lot of theories detox advice bad advice and general horror stories. He is in his 30s told him to come over here for a bit of sense.

Qualifying for Tocilizumab
Hello, I have had a relapse of GCA and have been put on a reduction plan. Was on 40mg pred now reducing by 10mg every two weeks. I had an emergency ultrasound of temporal and axillary arteries but it was three weeks after going on 40mg of pred so my consultant radiologist did say that nothing would

Views on Injectable Treatment Formats
Being diagnosed with a long-term condition such as rheumatoid arthritis (RA) means that many decisions need to be made during your treatment pathway, particularly about the range of options that are available to you. We’re in the process of developing a survey looking into perceptions around the use

Diet and arthritis
Hi I was diagnosed with PMR in December 2019. I have tried to taper the steroids down but have never got below 2/3 mg a day. Last year I had a particularly trying time with considerable fatigue and very painful mouth ulcers. Slightly at the end of my tether I was given a book called Diet and Arthritis

Secondary Hypothyroidism…anyone?
I’m trying to build information for an upcoming appointment with my rheumatologist and have discovered from recent blood tests that I may have secondary hypothyroidism (my symptoms certainly fit). I know there is a link between Methotrexate usage and secondary hypothyroidism. Does anyone have this diagnosis

RA overlap just diagnosed. Who else? Tips?
I have had PBC since 2009. I have just been diagnosed with overlap rheumatoid arthritis. UGH! I know some of you have too. Would appreciate any tips. Unfortunately for me because of both PBC and the fact I am allergic to sulpha the list of medications is small. Starting with hydroxicholriquine.

Sulfasalazine questions :)
Hello! I'm new here and this is my first post so I hope I'm doing this right :). I'm 35 and am being treated for an inflammatory arthritis. I just started treatment a few months ago. I was started on Sulfasalazine and worked my way up to 4 pills a day. I didn't have any side effects really and after

Arthritic knee, back and anticoagulants
My husband has recently developed AF and has until now used Piroxicam gel for arthritic flareups in his knee and back. This supplements his morphine patch as and when necessary for bad pain. Morphine helps with nerve and tendon pain from his back injury but the arthritic pain pushes through. As he

foot support
Can't blame this on pmr but getting lower on pred has made it more apparent. I have arthritis in big toe and the joint seems to have flattened. Gp has suggested support insole for under the toe joint, but have been flummoxed looking at t'interweb options. Can anyone recommend something suitable, please

Seronegative RA with OA in the Lumbar and Cervical Spine
I have a diagnosis of Seronegative Rheumatoid Arthritis with underlying Osteoarthritis in the lumbar and cervical spine. My question is one of exercise - The GP has made a referral to Physiotherapy - I'm expecting that this will take a while for an appointment to come through, in the meantime I'd love

Muscle pain relief through thyroid meds
I have a torn cartilage and osteoarthritis in my left hip. At night I have pain in my hip and back but after I take my T4 and T3 tablets the pain dissipates. Has anyone else experienced this? Or have any ideas about the mechanisms involved? Thanks in advance.

Secondary hypothyroidism
Has anyone had problems with central hypothyroidism and their tsh going to zero. Doctor refusing to raise levothyroxine because it will suppress tsh to much but my free t4 really needs a raise. Does a low tsh really cause afib and osteoarthritis or is this false.

steroids and osteoarthritis
I have finally reduced my prednisolone to 2mg, from 25mg. It has taken a log time, but I am coping with the pmr. But now, I'm told the steroids have caused osteoarthritis, and I also keep forgetting everyday names of things. Do you think this is related? Also, I haven't even lost an ounce of the
