Dad’s story
I’m writing on behalf of my dad who was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis back in 1982 when he was 28. He managed his condition very well with no medication, just diet and a healthy lifestyle until things started getting worse around 12 years ago. He was put on a medication which controlled things

Happy New Year
Not much to post here but felt motivated to greet this helpful community into 2024, my fourth year living with PMR or at the very least the dregs and after effects. Indeed I often feel as though I have a hangover! I have been pretty much signed off by my rheumatologist on a permanent 4mg of pred as he

Full Knee Replacement
I've been scheduled for a full knee replacement on Thursday next week (will have a friend stay with me for the first week). Does anyone have any hints and tips? I will buy a grabber thingy and have been looking at gadgets to help me put socks on - but am confused by all the different sorts. Rheum

Over 50
I have been struggling withy weight for years. I started putting on weight when I started depression medication. Now I'm over 50 still battling obesity. Growing up I was very active,but that has decreased due arthritis and joint replacements. I'm starting a new year looking for support from others.

Osteoporosis meds
I've been on coumadin for almost 11 years for a heart valve replacement and Orgovyx for about 2 years and three months for metastatic prostate cancer. I just had my first bone scan in August 2022 and a second Dec. 8, 20203, and bone less is progressing. I've been using estradiol patches for about 10

Scary visionary issues after valve replacement ….
Hi guys. I’m male, 67 and just had an aortic valve (tissue) replacement/dual bypass about 10 days ago. It’s going pretty well, a bit of expected sternum / leg pain, but just completed my first 20 min walk without getting too out if breath. Excercise is definitely good for breathing. What’s really freaking

Hypothyroidism vs Blood Pressure
Hi Community. Would anyone have any thoughts: since I have had my Thyroid removed 1 year ago and am taking Levothyroxine, it seems my blood pressure is creeping up. Would this be an indicator of incorrect dosages, or type of hormone replacement. Getting to see an endocrinologist is difficult since I
