I'm sure once it gets nearer the time, I will be coming on here for advice, but I had a lovely surprise the other day. My daughter messaged me and asked if she and her family moved out of London would I move too? Easy question to answer, yes. She then replied they are looking at moving to the Peterborough area as rental…
Hi, I'm new to posting here but your forum has really helped in the past few weeks and I hope somebody here might be able to answer a few questions I now have. My mum (82) has had severe joint pain and stiffness mainly in her right knee. It came on quite quickly, starting as a burning sensation in her kneecaps that would…
I'm just about to start Benepali and wondered about the incidence of infections requiring antibiotics. What have other people found? I'm hoping a biologic will get my RA under control - but it sometimes seems that every drug requires another to control the side effects of the previous one. It reminds me of one of those…

Does anyone have any experience of, or advice on, how to deal with Achilles tendinitis? Literally any advice? Especially anyone with psoriatic arthritis or ankylosing spondylitis (I have one or the other). This has been going on for months and nothing is helping. I am now doing the physio exercises but I think it may even…

It has many deep and high steps going up, down, over and around and today I managed to go up, down, over and around using the steps. The tide was fully out so the walk there was not too bad, we went the long way round, crossing the…
. . . . walking to St. Michael's Mount and back. :D DD
I have an app with gp this morning to discuss kidney function as bloods keep fluctuating and rheumy wasn't happy about it. Mig
I'm currently on Sulph and Hydroxy, maximum dose. They're not working and been almost persistently in flare for months. Consultant will see me in 10 weeks. I'm worried because I was on Methotrexate and they stopped it because of LFT's. They gave me 4 weeks to clear it out my system, and let my liver rest, but just a couple…
My GP has told me I need a knee replacement. Severe OA. Have been having steroid injections and lately (December) had 3 hyaluronic gel injections which helped greatly up until now and the pain is back again. Doc says I can only have these twice a year. Of course I need to lose weight which I’m sure would help, but I’m…
