rheumatoid arthritis advice
My husband has been on the current regime of medications for 4 years and to date nothing has improved - his flare ups include swelling of his feet and hands, jaw pain (which makes it almost impossible to eat) and lack of energy. As a result of the rheumatoid arthritis he spend three weeks in hospital

Terrified of starting Gabapentin
Hi there. First post here and have never joined a forum like this so please be gentle. Long story short, after a lifetime of pain and misdiagnosis of arthritis, on Monday the clinical lead in rheumatology diagnosed me with Hypermobility and Fibromyalgia. I have so many thoughts and emotions about that

PMR and starting Pred
So My GP thinks I have pmr and so do I. I am not taking prednisone until the end of the month as we are trying CBD oil first (have since read it doesn’t really help for pmr). So far CBD hasn’t touched my pain. My question is this. Earlier in the week I was so sore. Needed to go clothes shopping and I

Pain reduced by Preds?
HI All, I was diagnosed 2015 PMR/GCA - responded to preds nicely. Rheumy and GP agreed with diagnosis. Changed Rheumy about 2 years in, and new Rheumy wasn't sure about the diagnosis although it responded to preds - subsequently diagnosed seronegative arthritis, and fibro. SO despite ongoing increased

Hand Arthritis
Has anyone had trigger finger surgery? I did on January 11th & it has been stiff ever since. The surgeon says it now has arthritis in it. My whole hand feels arthritic but it didn’t before surgery.

Should I or shouldn’t I increase my Prednisone?
I have got an extremely sore and swollen knee,as previously mentioned.Two visits to the doctor have resulted in one x Ray ...”Normal” and a referral to the muscular clinic for an Arthroscopy (I don’t think this is a good idea but never mind).Are knees ever involved in PMR or is this a separate problem

Symptoms worse on methotrexate
Hello everyone I have inflammatory arthritis. I have been taking methotrexate and hydroxychloroquine for 6 months and during that time my symptoms have worsened. I have been on benepali for 4 weeks and no change yet. Does anyone have a similar experience?

I’am new. I have Psoriatic Arithritis.
I have lived in Maryland all my life. I have psoriatic arthritis, have had this for many years. I have itchy psorisis on my scalp. I have spent a lot of money on all types of shampoos, conditioners, my doctor suggested I try and the light treatment, and any tips I found on Pinterest. Nothing worked!
