The age thing...
I just read someone's issue with their rheumatologist denying PMR due to her age and that brings up something I've been wondering about. When I was going through a divorce at age 27, in an extreme amount of stress, I developed pain in neck, lower back and both hips. Over the years knee & shoulder pain

does physio help
I’m a 73yr old woman who has had PMR for nearly three years. I started at 15mg of Pred reducing slowly so that I’m now on 1.5mg. My doctor tells me this is a marathon not a sprint! However I now have very stiff shoulders and neck not to mention heavy legs and stiff hand particularly when I awake. I went

New food intolerance
Ok, this is a bit odd, but since I got seronegative arthritis I have also developed more food sensitivity/intolerance, the most extreme being rocket leaves, which I've had twice since my diagnosis and on both occasions had severe stomach pain and vomiting. Never had that problem before I got arthritis

Confused about PMR, arthritis and effects of pred.
I'll try to keep this brief but may have to add more details later. We had to cancel our holiday on the day of departure (5th July) due to a sudden severe pain in my left hip, only on movement. I could hardly walk and hubby had to help me down the stairs. I am on half mg of pred and recently was discharged

Inflammatory Arthritis
Hello everyone, I was diagnosed with inflammatory arthritis this past October and the rheumatologist tried to put me on Methotroxate and I kindly declined after seeing all the negative reviews about it. I’m only 31 years old and have to get fluid drained off of my knee at least 1-2 times a year. Has

Pain worse - but is it inflammatory arthritis, the osteoarthritis or fibromyalgia - or all 3?
Hi,I was diagnosed with OA about a year ago, hips, knees and hands. Also fibromyalgia in December and Inflammatory arthritis in April. Am on methotrexate metoject, and nothing else but one cocodamol and naproxen. My symptoms, especially pain, stiffness and fatigue seem to be worsening. But I can't figure

Anca vasculitis
I have had this illness about seven years now and am not having infusions now though I do have an injection of methotrexate every week. I live a quite busy life but am always tired as vasculitis gives me chronic fatigue and bad pains in joints. Now apparently a lot of the pain is I'm told arthritis

degenerate spine pain and steroids
a simple question that’s in my mind, but hubby with chronic pain (either arthritis in the hip and/or pain from his degenerative spine) I just wonder why Prednisolone isn’t offered as a pain relief med?

Testing for other rheumatic conditions besides PMR?
My one diagnosis, September 2019, was PMR. At no time has any rheumatologist suggested I be examined to see if I have Rheumatic arthritis as well, and if so what that may mean for treatments, if any. Until this spring I've had few symptoms of what I think may be classified as arthritis - my fingers

Shoes wider ?
Like my hands, my toes are now badly deformed and I'm struggling to get even wide shoes on. Can anyone advise where to get nice looking shoes for arthritis feet ? I really don't want surgery if I can avoid it.

Are you a parent with Inflammatory Arthritis?
Having inflammatory arthritis can be hard, add to this the ‘joys’ of raising children and the challenges can begin to pile up. As a parent with IA, it can get frustrating, and you aren’t alone if you feel this way. We’d love to have you join our Parenting with IA meeting, a safe space for you to laugh

Medication not working
I’ve had rheumatoid arthritis for nearly 20years. I’ve tried, methotrexate, Arava, adalimimab, entanercept, ruituxan, filgotinib, baracitinib and a few others that aren’t biologics. The problem is, they don’t work for me. Has anyone else had this issue and if so what are you taking now. I’m at my wits
