Advice on OA and RA
Have recently discovered I have arthritis- at the moment worst in left hip. (Advised by orthopedic surgeon to consider hip replacement surgery)Also recent blood tests for rheumatism showed RA/RF test 19.6 IU/ml (0.0-15.0) Is this another auto-immune attack relating to Hashimotos I wonder? Also I'm confused

Is fibromyalgia difficult to diagnose or do doctors not take it serious?
Why do some doctors have a hard time diagnosing fibromyalgia even when a patient has all the symptoms? My RA doctor was out and i had too see a different doctor that came to our city once a week too help out. I told him my symptoms and he knew immediately that i was suffering from fibro. 4 other doctors

I have to withhold my tocilizumab
I was taken into hospital again with cellulitis on my leg put on intravenous antibiotics and am now at home on antibiotic tablets. This means that I have to withhold my tocilizumab. My concern is that if I have a flare what should I do. Increase my pred and by how much? I am now on 8mgms. Tried to reduce

Continuance from my last post of both of my wrist
As I was just reading a few post on here a few minutes ago, I started to think after feeling what I’ve been feeling through both of my wrist along with everything else I’m feeling as well. Should I just tell my general practitioner that I want an appointment with a rheumatologist? I’m almost certain

Not polymyalgia!
After 5 years of taking steroids, gaining 2 stone and lots of pain, I was told that I had compressed fracture of lower spine and needed a knee replacement! Since stopping steroids I have lost 2 stone, told I have Osteoarthritis, less pain and feel much better. Linda
