Bath time
Hi all, Those of you with hip arthritis , are you able to get in and out of the bath. After not being able to life my leg to get in the bath for some time, I am now looking for a bath lift. I would like one with a swivel and slide seat and very sturdy. Could you tell me your experience and any suggestions

What can expect
Hi everyone I had PMR for 5 year and didn’t fully recover a year ago I was diagnosed with psoriatic arthritis. I now take 17.5mg of methotrexate Via injection weekly. However although this has reduced the swelling in my knee and I am marginally better, I am still stiff and feel constantly exhausted!

Lower legs and arms
Scleraderma Do you have very tight lower legs snd arms … including wrist wrinkled and ankles. Knees also very tight and also have Inflammatory Rheumatoid Arthritis so maybe that is in knee joints. Do cream it but so tight to clench thinned muscles . Feels like I have very tight elastic around limbs.

Psoriatic arthritis?
Update…Jan. 2022. Have seen a dermatologist for my scalp finally after nearly 3 years of suffering, and I do indeed have scalp psoriasis. Everything prescribed has not worked. I have been told by my GP when I asked to be referred to a Rheumatologist , as I have had osteoarthritis for years, to see

Pain relief
Hhi there. I'm currently taking MST for pain relief and I've been told in passing from a GP that I may be better on subutex. I was wondering if anyone can h help me.. Will it be a straight forward transition to subutex or will I have to have a break from the morphine before starting subutex

Combined ttherapy
As Ruxolitinib is no longer working well, my haematologist has suggested combining either Danazol, Thalidomide or Prednisone with the Ruxo. Has.anyone any experience of this? What are the pros and cons? I am very worried about the side effects. Thankyou SkipperL

has anyone been told they have enthesitis? Does that come only with PsA or also RA? Could fibromyalgia diagnosis actually be enthesitis?
I was diagnosed with Fibromyalsia and then a year later I was told I have fibromyalgia and RA. Then yesterday, a year and a half later, I was told I have psoriatic arthritis and not RA. I have always said that my muscles and ligaments hurt and the rhuemotologist said that was fibromyalgia. But after

After waiting a year had my appointment with the rheumatology clinic in September took blood and X-rays and said it was probably rheumatoid arthritis and said I will see you in 4 weeks and then will give you a steroid injection .

Is Inflammatory Arthritis RA?
Stupid question, been diagnosed for six years since 20 but it’s always been written as: Seronegative inflammatory arthritis. It was once written as RA and once as Oligoarthritis. Is there any difference. I am negative rheumatoid factor, anti-CCP and HLA B27. Three years ago my DSA28 score equates to

Psoriatic Arthritis?
I have RA currently tolerable, OA, PN, and a few lesser problems. A few weeks ago I had severe electrical-like shocking pains in my back vertebrae for two days. It went away but then my legs started breaking out in itchy red bumps and my full knee replacement knee is very painful. Could this be psoriatic
