Pegasys side effects
I was switched from 500 Hydroxyurea/day to 90mg Pegasys every two weeks. The pain in hips and thighs is substantial - headache also, but not as bothersome as the muscle pain. Has anyone else experience this on Pegasys. Also, has anyone tried CoQ10 for muscle pain and has it work? Thanks

Pain and stiffness in hand after covid booster
I was diagnosed back in 2020. Took a few months but the methotrexate kicked in and I greatly improved. Yet now I am getting pain and stiffness in one hand. I had the covid booster the other week and it made me feel rotten for days after. I do wonder if there is a link. Has anyone else experienced this

Maybe not PMR update 5 years on
Good morning after 5 years next month on steroids with a PMR diagnosis I am headed down a different treatment path. I spoke to a musculoskeletal specialist in UK who questioned if I had ever had PMR due to my original diagnosis blood test showing a CRP result of 6 and an ESR of 1, whilst acknowledging

Follow up to initial appt
Hi all, I had my initial appt with rheumatologist 19th April, who diagnosed seronegative inflammatory arthritis. He gave me a steroid injection, which does seem to have lessened the swelling a bit, but still stiff and in pain. But I have yet to receive a follow up letter summarising the appt and findings

Pain Relief
I have posted before regarding Scleroderma and Raynauds and the problems which relate to this. I have osteoarthritis in my knees and they are so very painful. I was coping with the help of steroid injections, paracetamol and Ibuprofen however steroid injections are now limited with less relief and

Hi Everyone, Tapered off Pred in Jan24 after being diagnosed with PMR May 18. . I had my routine Rheumie appointment 2 weeks ago which was with a Registrar for the first time. I told him I had increasing neck, shoulders and wrist, hand pain for the past few weeks especially bad upon waking. He told

Pelvic pain and sex
Hi , sorry sounds like a stupid question - Does sex hurt with reoccurring pelvic pain ? Can it trigger the pain to come back or an infection to start if someone has abscess in pelvic area such as fallopian tubes or near ovaries?

6 month old chronic cough
My 6 month old baby has had a cough on and off for the last 4 months . Back to the gp various times and three courses of antibiotics yet this still has not fully gone! Been referred to pediatrics and gp said this may be the start of asthma but hard to diagnose due to his age. I’m really getting anxious

Angina and arthritis pain.
I have had for many years ischeamic heart disease (7 stents) damaged area of heart muscle due to two heart attacks back in 2014 plus AF. I also suffer with osteoarthritis in various joints the latest most recent in my right hip. This is constantly giving me severe pain that pain killers won't touch.

Hep B immunity blood test positive
Hi all I was asked by my clinic to do a Hep B core blood test which I believe is same as immunity one and I asked my GP for the tests. It’s come back as not immune to hep b. Does that mean I won’t be entitled to a donor egg treatment? I’m freaking out 😟 Please share your thoughts and experience

Update on Covid/AF
Hi all, Last week I reported that despite my daily dose of medication (60mg x 2 Diltiazem) I was consistently going in and out of AF due to COVID. I increased my Diltiazem by 60mg as (PIP) to try and eliminate/reduce the episodes. However, I found despite helping, this was exacerbating my AF - episodes
