Hi First time post here. I have psoriatic arthritis and had my Covid-19 vaccines in March and May. After each vaccine, I noticed a significant improvement in symptoms and I was able to reduce my Celecoxib dose to zero. My rheumatologist looked at me like I was crazy when I’m told him! Did anyone else notice the same? It…
I see in the news today that a trial is going on ( it says it will take 2 yrs???) where people who are immunosuppressed - it just mentions Methotrexate- will be stopping their meds for 2 weeks following vaccinations. Apart from the fact that most immunosuppressives are already vaccinated, I did this anyway. For the first…

I took a series of chest infections from March 2020 and was referred to a Covid triage unit in May 2020 where the consultant I saw was pretty sure I'd had Covid in March. I wasn't tested for antibodies as they didn't have the facility to do so. I have suffered Psoriasis in the past and come from a family of Psoriasis…
So on Saturday I got the dreaded positive test result from the lab (despite having both jabs). And I also had a steroid joint injection 3 days before my positive result so hope that doesn’t complicate things. Now on day 3 of Covid and so far it is just like a head cold with sore head, stuffy nose, sneezing. Hopefully it…

Hi, I am 54 and have recently been diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis. I have just started on hydroxychloraquine. The thing is my husband has given up on social distancing now as he thinks that being double vaccinated makes us safe. I have tried to point out that I may be more at risk from covid with having RA but he…

I am an osteoarthritis sufferer waiting for both hips to be replaced but also have arthritis in hands and wrists. In the first 48 hours after the first AZ vaccine I had severe hip pain. It went away and I was back to my normal routine which was minimal pain killers and active life. I then looked at side effects to find hip…
