Finger misbehaving (!) ...Ulnar Deviation
Hello, I recently noticed my middle finger has gone bent towards the pinky finger. I couldn't believe my eyes and did internet search. It happens to people with RA and Lupus. A bit shocking. I have been doing mild squeezing exercise daily to help increase my hand strength. I think it may be due to

GCA Concerns, Cold and Eyes
I hope everyone had as wonderful a Christmas as I did, despite our health battles. I flew to Arkansas where 2 of my adult kids and 4 of my grandkids live. 2 other adult kids and their spouse and fiancé came, and it’s been a wonderful time. A cold was going around, and I caught it. Just the sniffles,

Vitamin B6 Toxicity: Available Testing of B6 Plasma Level Does NOT Tell You What You Need to Know
[u]
Background
[/u]: Vitamin B6 participates as a coenzyme in over 100 different biochemical reactions. When it does so it is converted to the inactive form, pyridoxine. The body contains a recycling loop that restores the pyridoxine to the active form, P5P. Vitamin B2 is required for this process

New treatment plan GCA
Hi! I met with my rheumy yesterday and now seven months into my treatment for GCA. Initially I was told that I would be on Actemra for one year with Prednisone and then Methotrexate. Yesterday, I was informed that there will be no Methotrexate and from month ten, I move to fortnightly Actemra injections

Methotrexate or Prednisone which is more damaging?(also update on eyes)
Hi, it's me again. During an eye exam, I was told my optic nerve was narrow, and that I needed to be seen asap due to the risk of blindness with GCA. I got in to see a neuro ophthalmologist who told me that my optic nerve isn't narrow, it's just turned on an angle. Probably from my connective disease

Rate of Decrease in RBC Count
Recent diagnosis of MPN, all three counts elevated. RBC count was 1.2 million, but lowered by phlebotomy to 922,000. I have started on Hydroxyurea. Are there any resources that provide information on the rate I could expect my RBC count to go down? 100K/month, 50K/month, etc. Thanks! hsdale3

Optic nerve narrowing
Hi everyone, I've had PMR & GCA for 16 months. Currently on 15mg prednisone. Stopped Actemra 2 months ago. My eyesight in my left eye has been changing rapidly over the past several months. It's gotten really blurry. I've never needed glasses for distance, but now it's hard to drive at night or see

Get Your Cataracts Treated!
Age-Related Macular Degeneration sufferers experience a gradual deterioration in their sight due to changes in the macular. Most sufferers are, of a certain age! Another common age-related eye condition is the development of a cataract, so it is not unusual to suffer from both conditions simultaneously

Steroid injection and surgery
Hi all , I'm just wondering if anyone knows how long you have to wait after steroid injection in the bottom before having gallbladder removal I've been told operation will be in 2 to 3 mths unless a cancellation comes in. But a friend said I'll have to wait 3mths now

Anesthesia and PD
I’m planning on having Morton’s neuroma surgery in a few weeks, unless I chicken out! I’m concerned about any negative effects because of anesthesia . I’m going to check to see if doing some type of block instead of General, is a possibility. Has anyone had that operation, or have experience with different

problems with cataract surgery
I went for my cataract op today. I thought I was in the theatre for a long time and discovered that part of the cataract had gone into the back of my eye and they could not retrieve it or put the new lens in. I was told that there is a 2% risk of this which could be worse if short sighted and receiving

Cataract Surgery: NHS referral for fast treatment

abatacept
hello, I’m about to start abatacept (Orencia) and would like to know if anyone here uses abatacept in a prefilled pen. My gp seems to think it only comes as an infusion or as a prefilled syringe but I’m sure I have seen it referred to on fb as a pen. Could anyone confirm so that I can ask my rheumatologist
