Does Sulphasalazine cause foot cramps..?
I started Sulphasalazine on Thursday, after seeing the Rheumy nurse and having a blessed steroid injection (never thought I'd say that before as Ive always been dead anti drugs) which has helped me move around a lot better. I'm on 500mg Sulph. once a day on the evening. Yesterday was my 3rd dose and

Muscle Pains
I've recently been diagnosed with RA, and had two steroid injections, been taking hydroxychloroquine for 3 weeks, and Methotrexate for 1 week. This all started with shoulder joint pains, and then spread to all other joints, but as little as four weeks ago, I was able to walk quite long distances,

Humira not working
I started Humira February 2013 it worked for a while but I was also under the influence of a steroid injection. The pain came back late April and it has taken all this time for my rheumy nurse to admit I need another biologic. I can honestly say I have never been in so much pain for the first time

What a week
Just over a week ago, my left ankle started to swell and I couldn't move my foot up and down or right and left. By the late evening, the whole foot was so painful I could not bear any weight on it at all. My toes had completely seized and would not bend, dreadful pain down the left hand side of my foot

Hands up if you know what this is....
Hi guys For the last 5 days I've had a really itchy raised red rash (like hives or heat rash) on my hips/upper thighs and stomach. I don't think it's food related as usually that goes within 24 hours so I'm told. I'm on hydroxy at the moment and steroid injection is wearing off. Am also starting

Steroid injection 2 weeks ago. First period in 5 years!!
Although not mentioned anywhere as a side effect I've been told that having steroid injections can affect menstrual cycles. Could they make a 53 year old who finished the menopause 5 years ago have a period, with the PMT and bloating included! Don't worry - I am having checks done but I did wonder. I

Should I have a second steroid injection?

Fibro getting me so down!! :-(
Hi everyone just thought I would let you know how things are....and sadly they are not good! :-( I was to have my legs bandaged up by the Odema clinic last month but was unable to have them done due to my health in general. I had to have an ECG and Chest Xray in case the fluid in my legs went to

Sorry
Afternoon Sorry for my quietness. Have been really down in the dumps and just had no motivation or mojo. My update is have been taken off methotrexate. Thank goodness!! Now on day 4 of hydroxychloroquine, then once we know I'm ok with that, Sulphasalazine is being introduced slowly. Is anyone else

First Enbrel Blood Test Result after three injections. Sorry, a ramble.
I am, I have to say, upset :-(. I have just had a little cry although my other fingers and knee (the ones not recently injected! or not since January) told me quite obviously, there is active inflammation there at the mo. Red hot knuckles which are stiff. They are the knuckles of a flare and I saw

Can you take your methatrexate on the same day as a depomedrone injection?
I was diagnosed with RA 4 weeks ago (anti ccp 471) and given a depomedrone injection. I have just started MTX (2nd dose due tonight) and am due to see my consultant next Thursday the day I will take my 3rd dose. The steroid injection really helped but I think it is wearing off now and my consultant said
