Anaemia and R.Arthritis
Hi after a recent routine blood test (due to be being on methotrexate) I have recently been told I am anaemic and following more tests, have now been referred to the hospital for a colonoscopy. I am now thinking it might be 'pay back time' for that the cocktail of drugs I have been taking over the

Pericardial effusion
I had taken Prednisone for about three and a half years for PMR and stopped about four months ago. In December a follow up CT scan for something else showed fluid in the pericardial sac. One of the causes listed for this to occur is an auto immune condition. I have never seen anyone on this forum speak

PMR & Osteoarthritis in Knees
I have been added to the waiting list for knee replacement. I am trying to loose weight which I feel will help the pain in my knees. They can be very stiff some days and difficult to bend and I do get pain in the back of my thighs and shin splint pain too. I wonder if this is part of PMR ? I would hate

How can they really know?
I'm a bit perplexed as to how they can really tell the difference between OA and RA.I have heard of so many people that are told they have RA, to later be told it's OA. My arthritis symptoms have changed somewhat and are affecting other areas of my body and I don't know whether to bother mentioning

Fibromyalgia and Osteoarthritis
Good morning, hope you are all as well as can be. Can anyone tell me if they suffer from both fibromyalgia and osteoarthritis? I was diagnosed fibromyalgia early this year but have now been referred back to Rheumatology due to swelling and ongoing stiffness in my joints. I also suffer with groin pain
