Dreams
Hi all, just coming out the other side of a nasty flare up, thanks to a steroid injection from my lovely doctor, and was thinking back about my dreams. During my flare up my dreams got very dark and horrible and was wondering if it is connected or normal for this to happen , or whether it is just coincidence

A question for the ladies
Hi ladies- I was looking for some advice really and to find out if this has happened to any of you? I had a steroid injection in my hip 6 weeks ago and since then my periods have been unusual. In that I mean one was short only lasting a few days and this one has went on for 14 days +. My GP is not particularly

What's the deal with trochanteric bursitis?
Quite a few people have mentioned trochanteric bursitis recently. I'm doing fine really, overall. My joints are no longer swollen, my mobility's good and I usually feel okay. But these days I tend to get all these 'little' added extras including trochanteric bursitis. My rheumy covered all bases

Refusing To Take Steroids
Not so long ago I wrote a post about being prescribed steroids and my fear of them. I'll explain how I got to this point......I was diagnosed 4 years ago and after about 18 months of using the usual Salfa and MTX I was taken off them due to complications with my liver. After another 9 months waiting

Methotrexate Increase 😯
Well, had rheumy appointment today.. again. Consultant had upped my mx dose to 20mg even though I didn't really want it. Rheumy nurse wanted me to stuck with 15mg and add fluxy flexy sulfy something or other 😂 Had another steroid injection (thought we could only have 3 in a year??) This is my 4th.

Flare-ups and Medication
Hi All I read all of your comments daily and send daily hugs to you all who suffer a lot more than I do. However, I rarely comment as I am a newby and have no real experience to pass on. As a newby, I had three steroid injections in my hands (one in October 2014 and 2 more in December 2014) and have

Diagnosis of FMS
I now know I have had Fibromyalgia for the last two years as everything now makes sense. I initially went to my docs with extreme back and joint pain. She then referred me to a Rheumatologist who did his relevant tests, found nothing so referred me to an orthopaedic surgeon. He crossed off every other

Hi just had a diagnosis of seronegative ra. I've had pain & tiredness for 40 years( I'm 53) but only when I've really pushed for a diagnosis by going privately, have I finally got a diagnosis. Also got fibromyalgia, OA and APS. I was told by a rheumy 2 years ago that it was "just" fibromyalgia but was

Joint pain with locking and cracking
For quite a few years now my joints have been painful and achy, they then started to 'lock' and I have to make them 'track's in order to briefly relieve the pain. It started I think in my knees but it affects my elbows, hips, wrists, fingers, thumbs and shoulder - I was seen by a consultant who operated

Trochanteric bursitis
Morning I've had steroid injections last Wednesday in my hip as I can barely walk, been told it's like magic but unfortunately it's not been. It's made no difference whatsoever. This has disabled me totally. Has anyone else had this & how long did it take to recover? Did anyone need surgery? Any advice

Bursitis in pregnancy
Has anyone else had hip bursitis in pregnancy? I have been diagnosed by a physio as I was having intense pain at night in both hips. She said ideally I need to avoid sleeping on my sides - which is how we are told to sleep in pregnancy! She has taped my hips which seems to have helped and I have to ice

What next??? :(
I have been suffering with RA & Fibromyalgia since around yr 2000 and I went to the rheumo clinic on Thursday last & got told off as my ESR was up at 47 (as opposed to 13, on my last visit) & I have been feeling pretty rubbish for a while now. I was told that I should have called them straight away

Bursitis
Wondering if anyone else has bursitis in either or both hips, and what treatment you have had. I have it in both hips, and have just recently had a steroid injection in both. That seems to have done something to relieve the pain a little, but if they continue to stop working, I'm heading for a bursa

Confused about prednisolone dose
My mum who is 80 has recently had a diagnosis of PMR (she also has RA and osteoarthritis so its taken a while to reach this) . Up until now because the diagnosis wasn't PMR, her pain and symptoms had been managed with steroid injections, which wore off & needed repeating every 3 months. With the diagnosis
