I am in excruciating pain in my thigh ...much worse since having my booster...had anyone else found their pain worsened after the 4th jab?
As most are aware new government guidelines came into force on April 1st. The term 'clinically extremely vulnerable' is no longer in use. Instead in comes 'high risk' Latest here: https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/coronavirus-covid-19/people-at-higher-risk/who-is-at-high-risk-from-coronavirus/ But what they don't say is that…
I found this information on the NHS website this evening. It says that those who are eligible for the new treatments (the list includes RA) will be sent a PCR test to keep at home and in the event of testing positive they will be contacted by the NHS to start one of the new treatments, if appropriate. Anyone who hasn't…
Over two weeks now since this was approved in the UK https://www.gov.uk/government/news/evusheld-approved-to-prevent-covid-19-in-people-whose-immune-response-is-poor yet AFAIK the UK government has yet to purchase a single dose.

I’ve finally been given my first course of methotrexate for my RA but I’ve just tested positive for covid too!

I have had a txt from GP to make an appointment for this, I am a bit confused tbh.
Have you been advised by your Rheumatology team that you need to keep a Priority PCR kit at home in readiness? Many of us have been going round in circles, trying to get one of these so that if we do catch the virus, we can get a quick result and be considered for anti-viral therapy. Test & Trace have just changed their…

I now feel worse because my knees are very painful more than usual as I have osteoarthritis in both knees and I have started to ache in…
Hi As much as I hate saying this, now that all restrictions have now been lifted I feel as though it is only a matter of time before I get the Covid no matter how careful I am.
