Hi everyone
Was just wondering if you can take pregnenolone as this is supposed to help with arthritis or DHEA whilst on thyroxine. I am menopausal at the moment and read that these are the natural way and can help instead of HRT

Bad Flare when I thought it was over
I got down to 0 after 4 years but pain continued to grow. I was on 2 mg and my ra felt it was just osteoarthritis and said add tylenol. Big mistake I want no one to repeat. My pain was so severe I ended up in the ER for many hours on heavy drugs before it stopped my suffering. Listen to your body not

Hydroxychloroquine Rash
Hi. I’ve been on hydroxychloroquine for 2 weeks (400mg a day). This weekend I’ve developed a red symmetrical rash on the same parts of both feet (top) and both elbows. Patch’s of red raised skin with a defined edge and itchy. I’m wondering if it’s a reaction to the hydroxychloroquine or something else

Just diagnosed
I had a phone consolation with my GP this morning, she has been amazing and so helpful over the last few months. I’d had all the blood tests done before COVID which ruled out various conditions and although there was nothing in my bloods to suggest rheumatoid arthritis there is a family history of it

No medication
So I finished my meeting with the endo, she said my symptoms were mainly due to anxiety and depression and so she prescribed me Cipralex (Lexapro). She said as I was subclinical, if she were to prescribe me with thyroid medication, it will make my anxiety worse. I have another meeting with her in 2

Orencia
Hi, I’m a newbie with Rheumatoid Arthritis. My Rheumatologist wants me to stop Plaquenil and go on a biologic. She suggests Orencia. Would appreciate hearing from fellow RA warriors who have taken Orencia (or other biologic) and if so, in what form - infusion or injection. Advice, please! Thanks!

Psoriatic Arthritis: What Immunosuppressants Help to Control Both Psoriasis and Arthritis? I'm New Here. :-)
I was prescribed Humira for Psoriasis by my dermatologist and it worked for a while and then seemed to stop. Derm recommended more topical Triamcinolone and wait out the flare. My rheumatologist did blood work that showed I had developed an immunity to Humira and prescribed Enbrel for Psoriatic Arthritis
