Over 50
I have been struggling withy weight for years. I started putting on weight when I started depression medication. Now I'm over 50 still battling obesity. Growing up I was very active,but that has decreased due arthritis and joint replacements. I'm starting a new year looking for support from others.

A quick question !!I have Osteoarthritis in my feet , worse is my right foot. This makes me limp constantly and use a walking aid all of the time. I have used a walking aid for around 4 months but realistically I could have , should used one wayyyy before that, but was embarrassed too. My Rheumatology

Advice on back pain & pred dosing...
Morning, i joined this group a few months ago and find it so useful even though I don't have pmr. I do have tertiary adrenal insufficiency, ulcerative colitis, osteoarthritis and fibromyalgia and possibly pots. In the last 2 years after having covid twice I developed cushing symptom due to over replacement

Have I got RA ?
Hi I have been taking Prednisolone for PMR for 18 months and now on 5mg each morning under the care of a Rhuematologist . I have had Osteoarthritis for a good few years mainly in my finger joints . My Dr is now questioning if I have RA because my middle finger on the right hand is markedly more swollen

3rd Rheumy says I no longer have PMR but Rheumatoid Arthritis from X-rays and blood tests and prescribed Leflunomide
does this stuff work? The side effects for liver damage potential looks scary to me, someone that once was misdiagnosed with liver cancer and sent to Cleveland for transplant. Yes, fatty liver at age 59. Don’t drink or smoke. Pre diabetic/diabetic Also, does PMR segway into rheumatoid arthritis?

I know Nitrous Oxide can cause b12 deficiency, but could Nitrogen Dioxide do it too?
I had low b12, took ppi and h2 before Mt body crashed. But I also realised that we did an experiment in the labs I was working in, when my body began to feel awful, around the time I started PPIs (before my body totally crashed months later) I know Nitrous Oxide messes with b12... Does anyone know

I have recently been diagnosed as having RRMS. I have only had 2 relapses in the past year, both of which involved temporary loss of eyesight. On both occasions, my vision returned to normal by itself, without any need or medication to be prescribed. However, my most recent MRI contrast scan shows that

crazy or not?
I am in chronic pain in spine painkillers not helping. What I need help with is the way it all makes me feel I have no ffamily or friends . Isolated. I get panicky when pain is out of control, I feel freaked out and alone and am devoid of positive feelings everything everyday feels bleak no respite
