None of these effect my driving & I have been

Enthesitis and Psoriatic Arthritis
Iām interested to hear from anyone who suffers from enthesitis with PsA? Does this condition cause the joints to swell? Does it raise the ESR/CCP markers for inflammation?

Can you 'demand' Tocilizumab for GCA?
I was diagnosed with PMR in January 23, responded well to steroids (15mg) but quickly developed GCA symptoms (severe headache pain, blurred vision and jaw claudication) when these were reduced to 12.5mg after 3 weeks and 'normal' CRP/ESR tests. I was referred to Ambulatory care but an ultrasound showed

Tocilizumab
Hi. Has anyone had Tocilizumab injections for pmr? I've been looking at recent research which seems to suggest favourable outcomes for pmr sufferers who have problems tapering prednisolone.
