Sero Negative Arthritis
Hi There I have recently been told I have arthritis and prescribed Methotrexate. I was just looking at the letter to my doctor and it looks like the diagnosis is "Sero Negative Arthritis" I am confused at this as my initial blood test showed Rheumatoid factor raised. I don't want to take the medication

I have to withhold my tocilizumab
I was taken into hospital again with cellulitis on my leg put on intravenous antibiotics and am now at home on antibiotic tablets. This means that I have to withhold my tocilizumab. My concern is that if I have a flare what should I do. Increase my pred and by how much? I am now on 8mgms. Tried to reduce

Arthritis and claiming PIP
I am 40 I have arthritis in both knees and have been told there is nothing they can do only a knee replacement which I am too young to qualify to go on the waiting list for. My mobility is becoming harder and I am allergic to Anti inflammatorys. I can only take pain killers to ease pain. I’m wondering

Rheumatoid arthritis
Hi, I'm new here but have had rheumatoid arthritis for many years, since my mid 30s, I'm now 56. I was on methotrexate but came off it almost a year ago because of other complications. Now just on sulfasalazine for RA. I'm currently getting flares in my wrists and hands, but unlike previous flares

Advice on OA and RA
Have recently discovered I have arthritis- at the moment worst in left hip. (Advised by orthopedic surgeon to consider hip replacement surgery)Also recent blood tests for rheumatism showed RA/RF test 19.6 IU/ml (0.0-15.0) Is this another auto-immune attack relating to Hashimotos I wonder? Also I'm confused

Is fibromyalgia difficult to diagnose or do doctors not take it serious?
Why do some doctors have a hard time diagnosing fibromyalgia even when a patient has all the symptoms? My RA doctor was out and i had too see a different doctor that came to our city once a week too help out. I told him my symptoms and he knew immediately that i was suffering from fibro. 4 other doctors
