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

Confused about how all the different PCa drugs work?
This recent article (Oct 2023) has a nice high level diagram that organizes the more common prostate cancer drugs and their mechanism of action. Scroll down to Figure 1.

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.
