Lung Issues
I have been diagnosed with Psoriatic arthritis since 2012, I had it long before diagnosis. I wanted to ask if anyone with RA or Psoriatic arthritis have suffered from lung issues. I have reoccurring lung problems from coughing, wheezing, shortness of breath. I have advair inhaler, administer breathing

FLARE IN KNEES ONLY
Does PMR/GCA flare up in the knees? I started a taper from (3.5 to 3.0) 2 weeks ago. One week later, both knees became sore and weak. Right now it’s more pronounced in my left knee. Pain lasts all day, and even at night. Yesterday I saw a new rheumatologist - told me to go up to 10 mg pred and get

Is fibromyalgia difficult to diagnose or do doctors not take it serious?
Why do some doctors have a hard time diagnosing fibromyalgia even when a patient has all the symptoms? My RA doctor was out and i had too see a different doctor that came to our city once a week too help out. I told him my symptoms and he knew immediately that i was suffering from fibro. 4 other doctors

Not polymyalgia!
After 5 years of taking steroids, gaining 2 stone and lots of pain, I was told that I had compressed fracture of lower spine and needed a knee replacement! Since stopping steroids I have lost 2 stone, told I have Osteoarthritis, less pain and feel much better. Linda

Continuance from my last post of both of my wrist
As I was just reading a few post on here a few minutes ago, I started to think after feeling what I’ve been feeling through both of my wrist along with everything else I’m feeling as well. Should I just tell my general practitioner that I want an appointment with a rheumatologist? I’m almost certain

Normal results but pain in joints
Hi, has anyone had normal x-ray, ultrasound and MRI results yet still experiencing joint pain? I was diagnosed with seronegative arthritis in September 2019 and was taking methatrexate, sulpasalazine and leflunomide with terrible side effects. But now consultant is saying that there is no inflammatory

Both wrist feeling weak.
I work in a eyeware lab . So I’m constantly carrying the trays that the lenses and frames go in. Well few weeks ago I was noticing that not one but both wrist were feeling achy and weak as well. Since this started the symptoms haven’t gone away. They felt very weak today and makes my hands feel like
