Sulfasalazine added to the mix😒
Hey peeps, I went to see my rheumatologist today as an emergency case. My crp was up its highest until now at 140 so mtx isn't working! My hb has gone even further, so iron tablets aren't working yet either. She looked at my pathetic, swollen body and straight away said we need to add another dmard,

Rituximab and infections
Hello all, Am seeing my rheumatologist privately next week for a chat as I am becoming increasingly concerned about the number of infections I am experiencing whilst on rituximab therapy. I have been on rituximab now for ten years and it has proved to be a wonderful treatment for my RD of 43 years. It

I'm new here...
Have just joined and looking through the many posts, it does seem to be a great support. I have had RA for 31 years, was also diagnosed with stystemic lupus in the early years. Mostly affecting my feet, ankles hands and wrists. Had many steroid injections, plus bed rests and took daily steroids, Azathioprine

Don't know where to turn next
Feeling really awful every couple of days, and just awful in between. Dizzy , pains in my arms and legs, headache , tinnitus, fatigue, thrumming body sensation. Sometimes think I am going down with a cold, sore throat and blocked nose then it comes to nothing. I have an appointment with a rheumatologist

Knee inflammation and bursitis - could there be any connection with hypothyroidism?
I was recently found to have subclinical hypothyroidism, I have elevated anti-TPo antibodies, TSH 5.24 (0.3-4.2). I don't have too many overt symptoms at the moment apart from some GI/stomach issues and a bit of fatigue. One thing that has been bothering me over the last 18 months is one of my knees

PMR GCA all in Doc Martin series last night
Watching a repeated series of Doc Martin last night on ITV 9.00pm. I'd seen the episode when it first came out, but PMR & GCA meant nothing to me then. They obviously researched the issue and gave a really good airing to the symptoms. Though I'm not sure his cousin ever got the Steroid injection. Also

An update on my condition
I was diagnosed with PMR when I became ill on a cruise in April. My pointers for inflamation were high and I was put on 20mg of Prednislone. The pains went away but I had such a bad reaction to the steroids that my GP took me down after a week to 15. Most people told me it was too much of a drop and

Rough after treatment
Started my treatment Tuesday morning had my first steroid injection, was very achy and my joints was hurting yesterday but today I feel like I have been hit with the flu 10x bad, feel sick to the bone and worst headache ever... Is this normal after having a steroid injection?

Hi guys, hope you're all well. I'm 34 & was diagnosed with RA when I was 22, mainly affected by my right toes & both knees. I had an X Ray on both knees & it's just bone on bone now. They won't give me knee replacements until the disease calms down, as I've been told it's pretty high. I've recently been
