oh boy. If I get hurt physically does that set my immune system off?
I went skating and was careless. Cracked my helmet when I feel backwards and used my hand/wrist/arm to break my fall. So my fingers are all puffy and my wrist is swollen/sore etc. Before I had inflammatory arthritis I knew what to expect. But now I am wondering if this could this lead to a flare?

Which is it?
My symptoms seem to match psoriatic arthritis - the way my spine pain presents, low grade fever during flare-ups and other stuff that indicates an autoimmune condition (and I have psoriasis) - but my x-ray results show osteoarthritis according to my GP. The blood tests apparently also don't indicate

Can I quote you?
Hey experts … PMRpro, DorsetLady et al, My local Member of Parliament has just visited me to get information to put to our Federal Health Minister in an attempt to get an exemption so that I can have my allocation of tocilizumab extended, or indeed get the drug made available as it is for RA. Among

4th vaccination?
I have had an appointment sent to me for a 4th vaccination. I have already had the booster in October. I am taking Tacrolimus and steroids for seronegative inflammatory arthritis. Just wondered if anyone else has heard about their 4th injection? I live in North Wales.

Is this possibly GCA again?
I am looking for some advice please. I was diagnosed with PMR 4four years ago and this was followed by Giant Cell Arteritis. I was given 60 mgs Prenisolone and gradually tapered down. Unfortunately I had a flare a few months later and I was not given appropriate advice and the sight in my left eye

Pred sick day rules.
I'm currently on 2mg of Pred and weekly Tocilizumab and doing Ok as far as PMR and GCA symptoms go. However I've caught the dratted cold that's doing the rounds and wonder whether this means I should increase the Pred in line with the Sick Day Rules leaflet. I'm only using Paracetamol for the cold so

"It's all in your head"
When I hear this expression I am so angry. It has never actually been said to me personally but.....! When I think about it I "wonder" - could it be (at least a little)? When I read, listen to the radio, am on my laptop, me mind is 'occupied' and the pain is less - even not there?!? The PMR is 'sleeping

Rheumatologist doesn't want me to stay on pred
My Dr has me taking plaquenil 6 days a week and only use prednisone when I have much pain. I also gave inflammatory arthritis. There us a distinct difference between pmr pain and the inflammatory arthritis pain . She would have me take methotrexate before daily pred.

Just wondering……..
I’ve had an under active thyroid for many years; inflammatory arthritis came along 9-10 years ago; followed by fibro about 5 years ago. Recent addition is high cholesterol 🤦♀️🤦♀️. I don’t want statins so am trying dietary & lifestyle changes; I have cut out biscuits, cakes, etc. I’ve started to slowly

Liver enzymes elevated
Hi everyone! I was diagnosed in 2019 and have been on mtx since then. Remicade was added in 2020 and I’m doing great on both of these meds. My most recent ALT was 129. Up from 44 which was a few months ago. Prior to starting meds my enzymes were in the teens or below. I have messaged my doctor and am

JCVI advice recommending a fourth Covid jab for LVV-GCA patients on Tocilizumab?
I have been on (self-injected) Ro Actemra (Tocilizumab) since July 2019 for LVV-GCA, and it enabled me to cease all other medications (mainly the dreadful Prednisolone) over the course of the first 9 months.( All of my blood results have been totally normal from 2 weeks after starting Tocilizumab and

Bursitis /Arthritis hip area - any advice?
Well I couldn't be lower than a snake's belly (as the saying goes!). Following 4 weeks of a stubborn, debilitating cold virus (not covid), I had the onset of pain on outer edge of hip that has got so bad I couldn't sleep. I've had to take prescribed painkillers which are helping me through the night

B2 vitamin
I have recently come across having low B2 causing low mode, fatigue, skin problems, hair falling out etc. I have had some of the symptoms of low B2 I know my b12 is in the right range. A B2 test needs you to do a pee test. I’ve not ever been tested for low B2 and I’m wondering may be this is getting
