As some of you may remember I have been waiting some time, 6 months, (or more acurately a year as it was reccomended in my discharge letter from my Orths surgeon which was not sent out...and as a newbie to this I didn't realise there would be one). This morning I had a phone call from the hospital "Out sourcing" department…
Hi all, Some of you may know from a previous post that I've come off methotrexate so as to try for a baby. A week Thursday and I will be clear from it to start trying. I'm excited but very nervous at the same time. Since coming off the methotrexate I've been going through a bad flare up and actually been signed off work…

Good morning. It feels a bit unusual asking for your attendance following the sad news of the loss of the lovely Tezz, so I hope you don't mind. I could use some forum strength please. On Friday evening, I'm travelling 120 miles to a specialist hospital to get both jaw joints replaced with custom made prosthetic ones. I'm…

Hi Guys, Feeling a little sorry for myself - can i tell you??? You may recall I take Meth for PsA - been on it since 2009, but had a 6 month break last year due to recurrent pneumonia. Had a bit of a flare up and after careful consideration it was decided to add in sulphasalazine, as apparently this is more chest friendly.…

I've tried physio but I think my problems have worsened since. I don't know whether to try chiropractor or osteopath. Can anyone…
As some of you will know, we moved about 160 / 170 miles away last August to Scotland. Today I got a phone call from the nurse at my previous orthopaedic surgeon's clinic. He had put in most of my prostheses. How were they all, she asked, as I was due more x-rays. I told her - basically fine apart from the 36 yr old TKR…
