Hi everyone! I take fish oil capsules to help with my RA but the jar I have is nearly finished. I can't seem to find it anywhere! Where does everyone else get theirs from or what brand do you use? I know they have to be high in EPA but can't seem to find any at a good strength to be beneficial to me unles I take a few a…
So as usual I'm not able to sleep due to the pain.. Also pondering over recent blood results. I have OA for many years and recently struggling with gout! Results show raised esr and crp with a note suggesting inflammation. GP has told me in the past that OA is not inflammatory, so wondering why it's raised. Can you have an…
I have just had my second THR performed by one of the best surgeons. My leg was slightly short on that side and he asked me if he wanted me to correct it and I naturally said yes (it did not effect me). However my leg after surgery is now considerably longer and I am really worrried about this. He didnt say anything to me…
Sorry to be greedy but like buses appointments sometimes seem to come along together. So next Wednesday morning I have what I sm hoping will be my final HR meeting that will result in my application for early retirement being sent off. Lots of scanning of documents to do on my part (medical evidence) forms to complete and…

The reason I'm telling you all is because it's clear that opting to eat a small amount of meat has made a huge difference. You may remember I kept having low haemoglobin levels when I…
When I had my annual review a year ago the consultant said I could if I wanted reduce my Methotrexate dose down to 7mg. I said that I would go along with that. Yesterday when I went for my annual review he said that he thought that my RA had burnt itself out and so I could stop methotrexate altogether. The decision was up…
Hi, I am wondering if I may have arthritis in my feet. I have joint pain in various parts of my body, and they have only x-rayed my hands as they have been the worst, and that confirmed arthritis. The rheumatologist was uninterested as it was only nodal oesto-arthritis so dismissed me. The ortho guy I saw last week said it…
As most of you know, i've been referred for arthroscopic surgery, and yesterday got my letter from the hospital to see a surgeon, which will be on the 2nd October. This has been quicker than I thought, as was told by my GP to expect upto 3 month wait, so no going back now. I'll be sure to ask for pocket duties closer to…
