Fingers crossed
One whole week off the steroids! Been very slow tapering and now stopped and feel fine. Steroids had masked an no doubt exacerbated arthritis knees etc. but hoping all okay. Told to start tapering methotrexate in 3 weeks by 5mg per month.

Help interpreting results :)
Hi there, I'd be so grateful for some help trying to interpret test results. I started getting symptoms of joint stiffness, low energy, skin breakouts and generally not feeling myself, in 2021. Due to the joint inflammation in my feet and fingers, I was diagnosed with Inflammatory Arthritis, but there

Cannot stand the heat
I am currently on methotrexate, folic acid and leflunomide for my PSA and have recently had my leflunomide upped as it wasnt doing anything. I know the UK is incredibly muggy right now because of our awful weather but I was wondering if any of these meds make it to a point where the heat affects us

Inflammatory osteoarthritis? Anyone?
Hi allHope today is going as well as it can for everyone. When I saw the rheumatologist in April, his subsequent letter diagnosed ' seronegative inflammatory arthritis associated with osteoarthritis ". (As well as fibromyalgia and central sensitization syndrome ) I assumed this was 2 separate things

When is the best time to take T3
Hi I collected my first prescription for T3 Liothyronine 20 mg today. All the instructions on the box tell me is to take one tablet a day. I read the instructions inside and they just say to take exactly as instructed by doctor or pharmacist. So does it matter when the tablet is taken or if it is

hydroxychloroquine and stuffy itchy nose with occasional bleeding.
My rheumatologist added hydroxychloroquine to my methotrexate regiment for my rheumatoid arthritis. After a few weeks on the hydroxychloroquine, my nose has become itchy and stuffed up, especially when lying down and I am having trouble sleeping. Has anyone else had this problem?

switching to a carnivore diet has put my PMR into total remission
I know the subject may be viewed as sensational or just plain wrong, but that is what I have concluded. At the time I was diagnosed with PMR, I already had diagnoses of psoriatic arthritis and fibromyalgia. My PMR started in 2019, about 8 months prior to covid. I was put on prednisone and experienced
