Bad nails
Does anyone have problems with their nails? The white part of the nails are getting bigger where the nail is not attached to my finger. The nails are also very thin and brittle so I can’t grow them long I just have to hide it with nail varnish as they look awful.

Viral meningitis last month
Last month, July 2020, I was diagnosed with viral meningitis after being misdiagnosed with covid (by two different md). So it went on for about 11 days before being diagnosed at the tail end of it. Now, a month later I am still having grogginess and eye spots, major fatigue. Several other lingering symptoms

Protective role of ibuprofen.
Taking ibuprofen or aspirin lowered the risk of penetrance of the mutation in the LRRK2 gene, prompting less risk of developing Parkinson's disease. The study suggests that nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs could be a modifiable determinant of LRRK2 penetrance. https://journals.lww.com/neurotodayonline

Toenails and PsA (there is a photo)
When I first saw the rheumy, he asked about issues with my toenails and I said no. My nails aren’t exactly attractive, but they’ve been the way they are now for so long that I didn’t give it a second thought. My finger nails all have very faint vertical lines with sparse but fairly regular splinter haemorrhages

Supplements for losing toe nails?
I’m sure I’ve read that being Hashimotos can cause issues with nail plates / beds. Ever now and again I lose toe nails and have recently been hyper and lost another nail again. I also have skin growing over the sides of my nails which is annoying. Just wondering if anyone can recommend anything that

Any particular concerns about having a boil on shoulder and primary lymphoedema affecting lower limbs?
Probably coincidence, but in 2016 I first developed lymphoedema symptoms in my right foot and leg. Shortly afterwards I had a very nasty boil on my shoulder which lasted several months but eventually (with help of antibiotics) get better but left a large scar. Now another boil has developed where

When to see a nephrologist?
I have had stage 3 CKD for 20+ years. I saw a nephrologist that ordered 14 vials of blood drawn. Due to a conflict in work and scheduling a return appointment I never went back. My GFR has remained relatively stable all these years. Should I be seeing a nephrologist? I have only had one doctor even mention

New diagnosis
I just received my diagnosis of Lupus a few weeks ago after 4 years of uncertainty, multiple investigations including LPs, MRI scans, nerve conduction tests and then eventually referral to rheumatologist due to abnormal bloods and swollen painful hands.

Does it sound like hemmoroids? Worried.
Hi all, 23 Female here, seeing a gastro this Thursday and very nervous but also anxious to have it over with. I have a history of lower GI bleeds, doctors have never been able to really pinpoint it so it was suspected I had hemmoroids, at one point had a NSAID induced bleed but no ulcers were found

Coming off long term PPIs?
Hi everyone! I am wondering if anyone could give me some advice... I’m a 37 year old woman and was put on omeprazole when I had my first son who is now 10. I was on a high dose of NSAIDS for a long time before this due to hip dysplasia pain. Since going on PPIs I’ve developed extreme IBS symptoms, low

PMR dose reduction following hospital stay for cellulitis
I have had a bad bout of cellulitis and am on IV antibiotics for past week. On admission to hospital in AandE they upped my dose from 4mg to 10mg. If I am on this higher dose for let’s say just 10 days while I am on IV antibiotics how quickly can I drop back to usual dose? Do I need slow reduction

Ticks/Lyme disease and hypothyroidism
I have just removed two ticks, two others broke off and the mouth part remains stuck in me. I have seen things on here before about ticks in relation to thyroid, but have never read them because I’ve never had one attached before. I presume I need to see a nurse to get the remains removed? Will it be

Anxiety Spiraling Out of Control
Shakiness. Nausea. Trouble breathing from the noment I open my eyes to the moment I go to sleep. It feels like I’m drowning, despite my oxygen saturation reading 100% on my oximeter. I wake up and the feeling is immediately there with me. Lungs feeling tight, chest heavy and sore, throat closing sensation

Just listened to a very informative Rheumatoid panel online discussion a must watch/listen!
Morning peeps 🙂 I have just spent the last hour, listening to this online discussion, Q&A Do patients with autoimmune diseases have an increased risk of contracting the virus? Should patients be seeing their Rheumatologists in person, or aiming for teleconferencing? Medication considerations –

Flippin weather. When the humidity started last week I could give Popeye a run for his money . Swelling more manageable but... yesterday with all the storms I became stiffer and this morning every joint and ligament is stiff and painful had to take co-codamol just to get out of bed. I can’t take any
