Weight loss
I am taking 200mg Hydroxychloroquine daily, 20mg Methotrexate weekly, 5mg Folic Acid daily except MTX day. Does anyone have an answer as to why I am losing weight without reducing my calorie intake. I am currently experiencing a flare up and have had a 120mg Depo-Medrone injection. Do any of you have

Duloxetine no no....!
Well, I tried it and really didn't realise how depressed and anxious it made me until my husband mentioned it! I stuck with it for 3 weeks and that was it. I phoned the hospital and they noted yet another medication I've had a bad reaction to. The trouble is that the anxiety has hung on to the point

Biologics v Biosimilar Sulfra or Flare?
Hi All I had been on Enbrel for about 18 months for AS ( Ankylosing Spondylitis ) when I was informed I would be changing to Benepali. I went with it as I am all for saving the NHS money but now 8 weeks in the main AS symptoms Enbrel worked so well to keep in check have returned and i feel much worse

Update
I think myself lucky to have an attentive rheumi team. I can ring and leave a message for the specialist nurses / consult or email them (handy if I've got significant changes I can photo), and within 3 working days they get back with feedback. On this occasion they are recommending depo-medrone 120mg

Depo-Medrone 12l Intramuscular
Hi everyone. I have been having the above steroid jabs in my bum. The Rheumatology Nurse does one at the hospital (& between her & my Consultant I have the usual checks). Three months later the next jab is done at my GP Surgery. My last jab was booked at my surgery for 12 July. Fine. Then I received

Steroid induced Shingles?
Hi everyone, I'm new here and am wondering if anyone else has experienced Shingles as a result of Steroids? I was diagnosed about 18 months ago with seropositive RA. I take MTX and Hydroxychloroquine. I had an initial Depo-Medrone jab to help until the drugs kicked in. All was well until I had a bad

Depo-Medrone
Does anyone else have 3 monthly Depo-Medrone IM? If so, how long have you had them for and what noticeable side effects do you have? I'm due for another on Tuesday and my whole body is screaming PAIN! I was the same before the last two and the DM jab takes effect within 24 hours. Happy New Year.

Rollercoaster of a Month
Thank you to everyone who commented on my kidney & NSAIDs post. Kidneys were given the ok, slightly inflamed but no damage. The aim was still to reduce NSAIDs but without an alternative, I was struggling and felt I wasn't getting the support. In the end I decided to change rheumatologist and so GP referred

Depo Medrone - Does it help with Fatigue?
Hi, I'm new here. I have been having symptoms for about 2 years. After two bouts of shingles. It was manageable, until about 6 months ago. The pain and the fatigue amongst a long list of others things finally made me seek help. My GP suggested that Lupus may be the cause and referred me to a Rhuematologist

Hello again everyone!
I've not been on here for a while but been quite busy. For those of you who remember me, I recovered from my emergency bowel surgery last Christmas (just left a hideous scar), my knee replacement has healed well and I can walk quite well now. I was attending the Pain Clinic but after questioning why

Anti inflammatory medication? ?
Hi, I would be really grateful for some advice about anti inflamatory I've been taking naproxen for around two months which I started during a big flare up. I've recently had a review at the gp and have been told I can only be on them for two month bursts due to the effect on your heart kidneys and stomach

Infection again
Hi My dad is in late stages of PSP - he acquired an infection again (the last time it was a chest infection, the docs are not sure this time) - I understand it varies from patient to patient but how many infections should a patient fight? He has had 2 anti-biotic courses in the past 5 weeks - 5 days
