12 weeks on Adalimumab, lots of pain and fatigue. Feeling depressed.
Hi everyone, can anyone offer any words or comfort or advice please?I was told at the beginning that this would change my life. A few weeks back I visited rheumatology and I said that I was dissatisfied with the drug, they told me to give it longer. I feel so down.

pain relief for headache/sore throats after AF
hi all. I am new to this group. Pleased to join you all. I have just reverted back to sinus after 8 days in AF. This is the 3rd time in 6 months. Each time reverted back in about a week. Unfortunately this time I’ve gone back to sinus but have contracted a stinking cold/flu. Are there any pain killers

Do natural supplements work to reduce high cholesterol?
While strictly not a PMR issue I know there are a few whose cholesterol has risen markedly since being diagnosed. I am one of them. I have always had high-ish cholesterol but my last fasting blood test showed everything else perfectly normal but my cholesterol was up. I haven't seen the results

Hqve you heard this... 'Pregnancy can cure it we don't know why'
I've been told from a scan it is expected I have adenomyosis.They've done a lap and it was negative to endo, and they're going to do an MRI. Theyve said if the MRI is clear then I should maybe have a baby as it has been shown to help and potentially stop all symptoms of the condition. Anyone else been

Rebound headaches?
This is terrible but I can’t seem to take anything for my chronic
arthritis
pain
and slipped vertebrae pain. Can’t take NSAIDs because of heart issues, now I’ve stopped Tylenol, Gabapentin made me sleep all the time. I am now really trying to eat an anti inflammatory diet and exercise every day.

Xeloda/Cape-Hand/Foot & Essential Oil Help
For those experiencing sore feet with cape: I had responded to BettyBucket with info about Topical Heparin Gel, but now also have some info about essential oil use for help if you need it. I realize not everyone believes in essential oil use, or has a stock....but for those who are interested, after

Lumbar Spine - help on understanding MRI scan result
As I suffer from psoriatic arthritis, the GP said it could be a flared up of my
arthritis
. From February 2024, the
pain
on the left side of the body from head to toe became more severe and the brain fog lasting longer which resulted in falls. I also started losing control over the bladder.

Covid
Now that visiting is allowed in hospitals would it still considered very risky for myself to visit a relative in hospital. I have RA and on abatacept and methotrexate.

I haven’t been very present in the group this last week. It’s been a very up and down time. Briefly I’ve had an awful time, feeling confused, exhausted and abandoned. One doctor on a telephone call upped my pred dose from 15 to 30, increased my painkillers for the better. After several bad nights both

painkiller recommendations?
hi all, I hope everyone is okay. I’ve been struggling with chronic daily pain, I have severe endo which has caused one of my kidneys to fail and so I have a stent in my left kidney to help it drain. This contributes to my pain but it is mainly a deep ache in my hip, pelvis and abdomen which I’m sure

Feeling a bit down. Slipped disc and just been told that I should start treatment soon.
The start to 2023 has not been great for me. Diagnosed with an L5/S1 prolapse last week. The sciatic pain has literally had me in spasms on our sofa, unable to speak. I am on a cocktail of painkillers and see the consultant next Tuesday to decide on options. I know that I can't continue with this level

It Is NOT just Prednisolone
I have just posted this on another thread. How our bodies and muscles in particular, react to this drug is critical to the way we need to address dosage and approach. Here is my take on how this condition moulds us and progresses. Confusing symptoms occur and they are similar to many conditions so

Reading my symptoms
To my surprise this eased my neck
pain
considerably ( I have
arthritis
of the upper spine). Should I treat this as a full blown flare or is it a combination of Adrenal struggles and the relief Pred can provide for arthritic pain sometimes?

I have just come back from skiing, which I only did for a couple of days we were away and didn't over do it at all. I feel sore all over, bilaterally and pain killers don't make a difference so I am assuming it is polymyalgia. I am exhausted too and just had a row with my daughter over babysitting (
