What is an Osteoarthritis flare?
I have been suffering from a painful knee/leg for a few days, bad enough to make me hobble and far more painful after sitting for a few hours. It gradually got worse over 3 days then yesterday, while walking in my house, something seemed to give and it was agony to walk - I could not put any weight on

Help re endo not increasing T3
I should have had an appointment today with my endocrinologist, but yesterday it was cancelled. This appointment was due to my blood test results, which she already knew, from April, and a reply from the psychiatry dept regarding dosing T3 for mental health. The psychiatrist had replied that whilst

Another visit to Rheumatologist…
Hi, I had a face to face appointment with my Rheumatologist yesterday. My ESR has increased to 97 and CRP 38. He said he’s very concerned about this 🙄. I’ve had 8 injections of Adalimumab since I last saw him for Ankylosing Spondylitis. He has stopped the jabs because he says they aren’t working

Negative blood tests
Hi I had an appointment with my rheumatologist last month. She had a quick look at my hands and then pressed on my shoulders and asked if it hurt, it did ever so slightly but I think this was because of the way she pressed rather than any pain response. She then asked about my sleep. I find it tricky

Change to medication
Hi everyone, I have been taking 150mg of thyroxine for over 10 years. At the beginning of the year, I spoke to my doctor because my fatigue was increasing, I didn't feel like myself, and I was having heavy periods. I thought I was starting to become perimenopausal. The doctor said I was depressed

Fibroscan result waiting time?
