Cramps
I have been having a few problems with my hands lately, stiffness etc which my GP originally put down to old age and arthritis, but just lately I have been getting cramp in my left hand which can be painful, do you think this could be due to arthritis or possibly something else?

Confused and getting worse... Update
Hi I visited my GP today. I got a letter about my last visit and some results but I need to see my consultant for the rest. Most look OK to me just a couple outside of normal. The letter just confirmed that I have a strong family history of Rheumatoid arthritis and I exhibit organ specific autoimmune

Recommendation for gloves and socks?
Hi Guys, Further to my Post on the Lupus forum (link below) can I ask for recommendations for suitable super warm gloves and socks please? I spent a fortune on some silver lined socks and gloves and found them to be absolutely useless. My M&S bought socks are better than the extortionate silver lined

I'm struggling with pain and fatigue but feel my rheumatologist will not permit me to have my mabthera infusion
It look 5 long years to diagnose my rheumatoid until everything seemed to go. My consultant at the time apologised- I think I was sero- negative.. but then it showed up and I finally got treatment. I have tried various combination of drugs and was finally put on mabthera. My new rheumatologist says

Apixaban (Eliquis) and Omega 3 supplements
Hey All!! Question...Are others who take Apixaban (Eliquis) also taking Omega 3 supplements (that include DHA)? I've read that it could be problematic...increase length of time for bleeding, etc. Any feedback would be much appreciated. Thanks!
