Vaccines for the immune compromised
Found this article about Shingrix. It is from 2018, however the CDC statement on Shingrix is still making the statement about not knowing enough about this vaccine in people with immune-related diseases (like rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, and others) so the information has not yet been updated to put

Hyperparathyroidism
For many years I have had a slight raise in calcium level in bloods. No treatment necessary as long as I don't get a 'spike' Now have steroid and Methotrexate for possible PMR or late onset arthritis. Have been prescribed Vit D but no calcium supplement which most people get. Presume this is because

Methotrexate not working?
Hi all, Diagnosed with psoriatic arthritis in March, have been on Methotrexate for about 9 weeks and it’s really not helping with pain and the bloods still coming back with 30+ on CRP and ESR. I had a steroid injection as I couldn’t cope with the pain and I felt “normal” no swelling or joint pain for

Arthritis or Medication?
Arthritis or Medication? I have been in excruciating pain in my finger (bone pain) for two weeks now. The doctor gave me some naproxen which did help for a couple of days but I had to stop it as it gave me too many tummy troubles. My other hand is tweaking a bit now and so is my lower back and left

First Rheumy appointment (since PMR diagnosis by GP) totally disappointing! Sorry no question just bringing myself back to reality!
Sooooo.... Long story short after a telehealth visit- according to the rheumatologist I was too young in March 2020 to be diagnosed at 51 years old with PMR. Really! Was I expecting something different? I lived in the hope that maybe my case would have a different outcome to so many others diagnosed

Cosentyx
Hi I've been taking cosentyx for a few years now and have found an improvement in my arthritis. I had tried 2 other biologics before cosentyx and suffered horrendous side effects, which I don't get with cosentyx. My advice is go forward with an open mind. Hope this helps.

Occasional sore tongue
It seems my tongue and sometimes the roof of my mouth feel like I burnt myself with a hot beverage when that is not the case. Sometimes brushing the area with my tooth brush seems to help. I’ve tried all sorts of toothpaste formulations. In can vary during the day and from day to day. I avoid any toothpastes

RA on my local news
Just watched my local news and they showed the NRAS video. They also showed a local woman who suffers with RA . They called it a hidden disability. She has been abused in the past for using her blue badge and described how the rheumatoid part of the disease effects her and the how the arthritis part
