beginning to feel a bit scared
Hi eveyone, Can anyone make any suggestions as to the next likely drug. I have had RA for around 4 years and it is in pretty well all my joints now and I have a lot of pain, swelling and damage. I have been on NSAIDS, Sulphasaluzide, MTX, MTX and Embrel, MTX and Abatacept and nothing so far has worked

Pain management
I’m not having a good day today. Pain and stiffness has been overwhelming this afternoon, so I just had to lie down. I’ve called in sick for work tomorrow, which is a decision that I have to make ASAP to give them time to rearrange my work load or get appropriate cover. I hate doing it, and it’s a year

Exercise , RA and nsaids ( and mtx!)
Hi. How naughty is it to take nsaids on a bad day so that you can do some exercise? Getting frustrated with mtx. Have taken 9 weeks at 10 mg and a further 8 at 15 mg and the same inflammation and pain is just creeping creeping. Does that mean it is not working? 🙁

Poorly managed pain
I have chronic lower back back pain stemming from a severe fall with multiple disc herniations. I have nerve ablations all the time and they do nothing. They do not recommend surgery, only pain management but they refuse to Rx me anything that works without horrendous side effects. Tramadol ER is

How afraid should we be of ticks and Lyme disease?
There has been a surge in cases of the tick-borne infection, with rugby star Matt Dawson the latest public figure to warn of the dangers after needing heart surgery to recover. Here’s the truth about the tiny creatures and the harm they can cause. Infected deer ticks are nothing if not indiscriminate

Aspirin & mortality.
New study below [1]. It popped up because one of the cohorts was the "Prostate, Lung, Colorectal, and Ovarian Cancer Screening Trial", but it is unrelated to PCa. However, Men with PCa have an elevated risk of CVD mortality. "Among individuals with a history of cardiovascular disease, daily aspirin

Sore lips after using lip balm
hey guys, so I've been using a lip balm since the start of this year and everything seems great about the product until recently. I realised that my lips were more dry even with the use of lip balm and my lips seem to be in a bad shape. I began to develop really dry skin on my lips especially the upper

Shingles vaccine
Hi, my wife has recently been diagnosed with CLL fortunately at 0 stage at present. I have reached a landmark age (70) triggering an invite for a Shingles vaccination which I am believe is a live vaccine and if I have a reaction this could be a potential danger to someone with a compromised immune system
