What is classed as a flare?
Hi, I was diagnosed in November, had a steroid injection and started on MTX, once the steroid started wearing off the pain and swelling in my knees returned straight away but not in my hands, they have been great. Had a load of fluid sucked out of my knee and another steroid injection about 6 weeks ago

Hi everyone, just a bit of background info: These are my NHS test results from Nov 2023: t4 13.8 (7-17) tsh 0.10 (0.20 - 4.50) although the TSH came back slightly under range at that time, thankfully the GP said “no action” so I have carried on with 75mcg (have been having my usual brands - no

Hi , I have been diagnosed with arthritis. I have been having pains in both legs similar to sciactica . I saw a physio and after a few exercises she said it was nothing to do with nerve pain or spine. Apparently the muscles around the bones are weak and I have exercises to do every day for 6 weeks

Good Afternoon, I just wanted to ask if anyone else who has been on Dienogest or is on Dienogest has had bleeding in between their menstrual cycles as well? I know it’s in the patient information leaflet but I was slightly startled when I saw significant bleeding yesterday that was accompanied by agonising

GP visit!
So I went to see my GP yesterday and discussed my symptoms, and asked about B12 injections. Got the same old story - test within range, symptoms aren’t bad enough, try oral B12 for three months, despite my explaining that I have low stomach acid and problems with malabsorption, which she again dismissed

Could BAT be our last chance?
My husband (on Lupron, castration resistant and tried every treatment) checked into the hospital 10 days ago for intense bone pain that requires heavy morphine. He has weakened bone marrow with low platelets and low red blood cells. He's getting palliative radiation for pain in a few places. Can't walk

Moving the right way
Ralph was good this morning, not out of bed because he'd already had some work done, they changed the tracheotomy tube for a smaller one. Drs did their rounds and are going to tell SALT to not do the other tube through the nose and shock as they think in a few days it may not be necessary. His secretions
