Hi my name is Michelle and I was wondering if anyone on here who is currently taking either Ethanercept or Leflunomide has problems with a constant runny nose. If so can you suggest away to relieve it. Thank you
hello I’m new and have been diagnosed with OA in my left hip. I’m 44 and have been managing this for almost 2 years. I have been told today my hip is that of a 65 year old and should look into getting the surgery. However my question is; how long would you wait? Or can I wait? What happens at the worst and of the scale?…
I gave been waiting months for an appointment at a consultants. He diagnosed me with RA and prescribed Methotrexate. That is 2 weeks ago but I haven't heard anything from my doctor yet. I am using a cane because my right knee is bad and frightened it will go into my left knee then I wont be able to walk. I haven't been out…
So I have apparently arthritis in both knees. But it didn't show up on xrays but on mri amonth or so later it did along with meniscal tears which apparently are not the cause of pain. I have to wait 10 years before they will do anything surgical. I don't know how to cope with that! I have been offered steroid injection but…
I have recently been diagnosed with vasculitis having been previously been treated for spondyloarthropathy (SAPHO/CROMO) for a number of years. It came to a head in February when I had a TIA and had a CT scan which showed the problem with vasculitis in my neck. I have been started on a new treatment plan of Prednisolone…
Mid-October 24, I was prescribed Prednisolone (1st time ever) while 'in waiting' 3 weeks - a transfer from oral to injection Methotrexate. (Methotrexate does not seem to be working for me/anyhow/but that's another story). I am in pain everyday… ps: presently diagnosed seronegative. I am left very curious, as 2 days after…
For the last 3 years it feels like i am walking on a boot full of stones, the balls of my feet have collapsed and nothing can be done to fix it, i have been made plates to put in my shoes but they don't fit into my shoes and in my work boots it don't seem to make any difference. Has anyone else got this problem, any…
Hi everyone, I have ankylosing spondiloarthritis and I'm have monthly biologic injection treatment , I've been taking 22.5mg methotrexate weekly. But, as I had some ALT abnormalities on my previous blood test, I was told by the rheumathology advice nurse to stop taking them for 2 weeks then do an other blood test, which…
I have been recently diagnosed with RA. I have been really anxious about starting the methotrexate due to worrying about the side affects. My first dose last night and feel ok. My question is…..is that a good sign already or too early to say heard so many people saying it did not agree with them
Time flies and in two weeks I'll have my 2nd hip done. I've been reading the diaries, including mine for a little bit of encouragement because I'm really frightened. I'm excited because this pain will disappear soon but I'm frightened because the success isn't guaranteed 100%. The worst thing is the 6 weeks of sleeping on…
