Is Xeljanz working for your Psoriatic Arthritis?
I'm new here. Diagnosed close to 5 years ago now with Psoriatic Arthritis. Is anyone taking Xeljanz for Psoriatic Arthritis? I was so hopeful that biologics were going to work for me but have tried many meds these last few years that have not worked - Methotrexate, Simponi, Embrel, Otezla, Inflectra.

Odd information from researching showing anti-inflammatory results of... Beer?
I've read more than once from sources I deem credible that beer is good for inflammation. Guideline is 1 to 4 per week to bring it down. Also read other info, mostly from alternative medicine sites and general health articles that say stay away. So far I've found some legitimate studies, but they have

Flare
Hi. I need some advice. I’ve had PMR for a year and a bit and been managing well. Tapered from 15 mg down to 7.5 and was tapering to 7 over Christmas and NewYear. I overdid it at new year and started having pain in my thigh muscle and then my arm, so I went up to 10 mg for a week. The pain in thigh lessened

Not RA
So seen the rheumatologist today, all the aching disformed joints are osteoarthritis, dry mouth, throat, cough & 1 dry eye to drink water, get eye drops. The raised rheumatoid factor he wasn't worried about or the raised pv. So good news in a way as do not require dmards, but still in pain and nothing

Why is nobody talking about juvenile arthritis?
I just heard that my friend's nice has been diagnosed at the age of 11 and it scares me that she will be put on hard drugs without any consideration of the alternatives first. How can we live in the information age and still choose to just succumb to medicine without a thought for other options?

Turmeric interaction with thyroxine and Sertraline
I am keen to try turmeric for osteoarthritis in my spine and more recently my hands, but have seen some warnings that it might interfere with the levothyroxine and/or Sertraline that I am currently taking. Does anyone have any first hand experience of taking these together?

Pleased to meet you all
Hello all, I’m new here. Pleased to have found others who will understand as they are suffering similar health issues to my own. I’m 76 and have suffered arthritis for many years in my knees which are always swollen. I also have arthritis in my hands as well. This can make opening bottles, jars etc

PMR
Hello! What a great site! I've just been diagnosed and started on 20 mg Presinolone for a week, then down to 15 mg for 5 weeks. In the summer I also went on 1800 mg Gabapentin for nerve problems due to osteoarthritis in my back. Initially I felt great after starting on Presinolone, but now 3 weeks

She said to see my primary she felt it could be arthritis. Since then now my pinky finger and ring finger are stiff and painful to use constantly

Anybody have sensitive fingertips?
This comes and goes with me. Quite a bit of anxiety I might be getting fibromyalgia. I've checked it out and my joint pain and swelling are not consistent with it. So, might it be something else happening along with arthritis? Thoughts and personal experiences?

Otezla (apremilast)
Hi, I've just started taking Otezla for psoriatic arthritis (tried Methotrexate & Sulfasalazine but they didn't agree with me). Is anyone on Otezla and how's it going? Thanks

Leflunomide 10mg
I could not tolerate Methotrexate to manage my RA so was put on Leflunomide 7 months ago. Two weeks after starting, my right eye party turned red with no pain and no steroid drops have helped clear it. My BP is elevated to just under 140/90. Has anyone had eye issues when taking Leflunomide?

Arthritis
Hypothyroidism. Levels normal now. Taking 75mg levothyroxine. Now I am experiencing arthritis symptoms in hands shoulder and hips. Should I go back to the doctor? :)

Cartilage, arthritis and hypothyroid
Hi I have been researching about osteoarthritis and cartilage damage and have found a couple of studies suggesting that these can be caused by thyroid problems and auto immune diseases rather than the normal wear and tear explanation. Not sure I quite understood this: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc
