Psoriasis?
I have an RA diagnosis and never had Psoriasis before. However, everytime I've had a particularly stressful time, I've had what looks like small patches of it. First, itchy spots which then become raised and sting/burn then dry up. It goes after a few weeks. I've mentioned it to my consultant at my last

Journey update: LVV/GCA, tocilizumab and exercise
I have been diagnosed with LVV/GCA beginning of February (though MRI/MRA and PET/CT were not fully conclusive). With the help of Tocilizumab I now arrived at 12.5 mg prednisolone per day. I know that this is a very fast taper but it worked well until now and from now on the steps will become much smaller

Methotrexate
My Rhuemy says I have Rheumatoid Arthritis in my right knee. He has drained fluid from it 3 times. This fluid and pain started immediately, there was no pain until the fluid appeared, is that how rheumatoid arthritis starts? I do not like the side effects of Methotrexate, they look terrible. I am

Not Rhumatoid arthritis, not high calcium level but a hair line fracture!!
Hi all I had a phone call from my rheumatologist this morning. I was told just before Christmas that my hip pain might be due to rheumatoid arthritis, then got a letter to say that my calcium levels were high so I had to stop taking the calcium tablets. I had bloods done this week, and have spoken to

Ankle arthritis
I have been suffering with this for a while. I haven't been to see anyone with due to covid but I wondered has anyone else had arthritis in the ankle and what do doctors (UK) typically do for it.

Not the answer I was expecting
This is just an update on my recovery or transition to another condition. Despite the issues I still had 4 years after diagnosis I thought I was in the recovery phase of PMR. I am still getting pain but this is limited to certain joints and general stiffness. My GP referred me to the rheumatologist again

Covid vaccine & PMR
Having had my vaccine today, I asked the nurse if my antibodies would produce equally as well as someone who didn’t have autoimmune issues. She said probably not but the only way to find out that would be to have an antibody test after the 2nd vaccine. I have thyroid issues, hashimotos, and PMR, has

New Girl on the Block
Hi everyone. I was diagnosed in 2011 with Rheumatoid Arthritis but only started on Methatrexate on December 6th, 2019. Yesterday I got the Covid-19 vaccination and was told I wouldn't be completely protected because of the Methotrexate. This has worried me - I want full protections. I was thinking

Supplements
Some years ago the Arthritis and Rheumatism Council - I’m assuming they are now part of another charity now - published a very helpful list of supplements that people have used to help their arthritis, along with survey results and comments on the possible efficacy of the supplements. I wonder if there

Piriformis Syndrome
Hi everyone I was diagnosed with PMR in March 2020, started on 15 mg. Reduced by 1mg each month, had to return to 10 mg in January 2021. Decreasing slowly and now down to 8.5mg. Towards the end of January Piriformis pain came back, I’d experienced the same thing in October 2020. Have been doing

Baking Soda for Inflammation
Some time ago there was a post about a study which shows a small amount of baking soda (1/4 tsp) per day has been shown to work on the spleen and lower inflammation. I have tried this for four months and the result, for my version of PMR is absolute zilch. In fact my inflammation markers are as high

Diagnosis confirmed a year after onset of symptoms
Reading posts here it seems very common that a diagnosis is difficult or delayed. I’ve found it hard having symptoms and not knowing for sure what is going on. Over a year ago a blood test showed high for RF factor but because the ultrasound was clear I’ve been treated for fibromyalgia & possible inflammatory

Do I need to phone my consultant?
I was diagnosed with sero positive rheumatoid arthritis 3 years ago and since then have been on sulphalazine without any more problems. Recently however my ankles have become a bit stiff and my knees, as well so walking is becoming more difficult. They are not particularly painful. I think perhaps I
