I've been on an increased dose of prednisolone since August last year. I've started reducing since January (tried before with a flare-up).

Does anyone know how to obtain Covid Rapid Lateral Flow Tests free-of-charge in the U.K.? The Gov U.K. site says they are not available direct but are available via your local Pharmacy. None of my local pharmacy stores issue these tests free-of-charge under the NHS but are happy to charge £13 each, even

My rheumy tele-consultation due to Covid.
HAPPY NEW YEAR. Hope you all enjoy much better health in 2024. An update. A couple of weeks back I had a tele-consultation with my rheumy as I had Covid. This was my 1st encounter with Covid after 3 years and 8 months! On the tele-consult app I was able to upload a brief resumé of my last

PAF well controlled till I got covid

On Venetoclax, lymph node appeared
Trying not to worry but a lymph node in my armpit swelled up. I feel fine, no colds, fevers or recent vaccinations. Even did a Covid test because I have had Covid totally asymptomatic but negative. Has anyone have this happen and it turned out to be nothing. Hoping this is just a fluke but it seems

Covid 19 vaccine UK
Hi there, I’d welcome any information you have on eligibility for Covid 19 vaccination in the U.K. I’ve looked at the .gov.uk website and in one place it includes epilepsy under neurological conditions, in another place it doesn’t. I did have an in invitation from my GP for flu, but not for Covid.

I could have PMR…
I posted back in September for some invaluable advice from you lovely people. I suspected I might have PMR but after being in hospital and treated for ‘infection’ which is what the doctors said I had I thought no more about it. I had high inflammation markers which were thought to be due to infection

Covid day four....U.K
Hi all. This sounds so stupid but I thought it was a regular cold. Just did a COVID test and it's positive. I think it maybe too late to access antivirals now? What should I do? Sorry, just a bit panicked. Thank you in advance.

The Plot Thickens…
I posted a few days ago about shoulder pain. It has got worse and is in both shoulders and is affecting my neck. It is far worse in the morning. My Osteopath gave me a private doctor’s contact details so I could see them for a cortisone injection. I had the appointment this morning and it turned out

Anyone here with cervical arthritis?
I recently found out that the pains I've been having in my neck, shoulders and arms is arthritis. Specifically c4-c5, c6-c7. I don't want ibuprofen, Tylenol isn't working and I'm allergic to sulfa drugs; I'm kinda concerned about all the drugs, but need something to help so I can continue to work. I
