Methotrexate and antibiotics
For anyone on methotrexate (presently or in the past), if you've had infections what antibiotics have you been prescribed? My sister has a UTI (symptoms only started today) but she took her methotrexate last night (she has rheumatoid arthritis so will also post on that site), and she's been prescribed

Lupus or another Autoimmune Disease?
I’m 50 yr old female with issues, RLS, Hashimotos, Autoimmune Atrophic Chronic Gastritis, intestinal Metaplasia, Iron Deficiency Anemia w/transfusions, B12 deficiency, and now this horrible hip and joint pain. I know if you have one Autoimmune Disease you’re likely to have more. I’ve had a full work

Malar Rash
Hi guys I was wondering what your opinion of this rash is? Does it look like a lupus rash? I’m in the MCTD and I’m on methotrexate and hydroxychloroquine. I get these rashes in a variety of different ways, always driven by sun, heat, stress or medications. Are there any other autoimmune disorders

blood tests
hi lovely people, I was wondering if you could give me any advice. I’m relatively new to all of this and I’ve had a very bad experience at my last hospital. I was misdiagnosed most of last year with Complex Regional Pain disease. My rheumatologist wouldn’t even consider an autoimmune disease. Anyway

Help on blood test results
Can anyone on here advise on these results? Does this mean I 100% don't have lupus? 🤞🏼Or are there different types of lupus that I havnt been tested for?

Not posted for a while, hope everyone is managing their lupus symptoms as best they can. I did think that using 50spf sun screen and taking hydroxychloroquine would keep my skin lupus at bay. However, I'm beginning to realise it is not just the sun and artificial light that my skin is sensitive to.

Just saw my first rheumatologist yesterday, very confused by diagnosis?
Can you have negative rheumatoid factor, negative CCP antibodies, no pain, stiffness, swelling or symptoms in the small joints (hands, feet etc) & it still be possible to have rheumatoid arthritis? All of my symptoms for the past 5 and 1/2 months seem to be classical PMR (before I started taking prednisone

A puzzle
Helllo everyone. I came across an interesting publication from the Cleveland Clinic with the title, Is it Lupus or Fibromyalgia? It will not paste. The author is Blumenthal, MD of Rheumatology at CC. With this you can easily find it with a google. I came across it as I was looking at my new lab scores

10 year PMR anniversary! A new drug for me called Etanercept being advised.
Originally 'diagnosed' with PMR in 2014, initially controlled with prednisolone and then Methotrexate introduced in 2018 after I queried my diagnosis and treatment plan. A PET scan in 2018 by my new Rheumatologist satisfied him that I had PMR. Leflunomide trialled but did not work for me. My aim is

Hi everyone
Hi, it’s been a while but I’m still getting on with it , just out of hospital yet again with pericarditis again! I’m now on anti inflammatory medication and another 2 weeks of antibiotics for a kleibsom infection they haven’t cleared since December, I can’t remember the spelling but it’s a nasty bug.
