Thankyou for letting me join this group. I was diagnosed last week after suffering terrible swollen joints and pain, my GP had sent me for bloods. Was told probably a virus. My ESR came back at 43 (???) and i was then fast tracked to the early arthritis clinic. I saw a doctor who looked at my hands and

Does osteoarthritis affect the smaller toes of the foot?
Having been diagnosed with osteoarthritis in 2015 . For several years both of my feet have been achy as well. Just this year I’ve noticed more that my smaller toes are very achy. I’m just wondering if osteoarthritis affects the smaller toes of the foot. Or is it just the big toe? Having mentioned in

Temporal Ultrasound May Be Useful in Giant Cell Arteritis Disease Monitoring (in patients paring corticosteroids with tocilizumab)
Thought this was an interesting article... wouldn't it be great if ultrasounds became the standard and most reliable source for monitoring and tracking GCA, in all patients, not just those paring their corticosteroids with tocilizumab. The more tracking/monitoring, the more data... the more data,

Chronic Rheumatoid Arthritis
Does anyone else on this site have such severe RA that they are almost house bound and have great difficulty walking? If so, how do they manage from day to day and what medication/s have been the most helpful?

Getting Below 10 Mgs
I am, once again, trying to taper below 10 mgs prednisone. I have tried at least twice before and experienced a flare. I was diagnosed with PMR in May 2017. This time, I am tiptoeing using the DSNS method. Once I drop below 10 mgs I am going to drop by 1/2 a mg. My main problem is the terrible stiffness

Rapid taper before adrenals shut down
I also subscribe to a pmr forum on Facebook. The following was on the site yesterday. The poster has recently been diagnosed and wants to taper to as low as possible before her adrenals shut down in three weeks. Have any of you heard of this approach? "I’m newly diagnosed and was helped tremendously

CBD with antidepressants and painkillers?
I am taking Venlalic XL 150 mg and Pregablin 150 mg for Fibromyalgia and am keen to understand the risks if any from also using CBD oil for the pain. Anyone have any info or experience, I would be grateful. The CBD oil is 2.75% recommended by a friend who does not take any antidepressants or painkillers

Headache and GCA
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4173245/ The article is entitled
Giant cell arteritis or tension-type headache?: A differential diagnostic dilemma
and details the presentation of an elderly lady who appeared to have a tension headache - but it was in fact GCA. It is probably a reference

Bruising on skin without any obvious reason
Hello All, I am 46 and I have had rheumatoid arthritis since I was 38. Although I take a lot of medication it is still active and not under control. I get a great deal of pain particularly in my hands and I also feel fatigued a lot. I am getting bruises on my arms and legs. There is no obvious reason

Visit to Arthritis Doctor
I want to thank everyone that responded to my recent request about PMR affecting hands and feet. I went to my arthritis doctor yesterday and she still is not convinced I have PMR. She wants me off of prednisone as soon as possible. I am tapering but not as quickly as she would like. If she can
