I've just started feeling the first twinges of Shingles. I've had it twice before, but both times were before I started Methotrexate. I've spoken to a GP, and am going to be starting on Aciclovir asap. Obviously I'll be skipping my mtx until told otherwise. Luckily, I already have next week off work (OU exam, so doing that…
hi, I’m 36 with 3 young kids and my dr has recently started me on leflunomide along side methotrexate and hydroxychlorquin.

The swelling got worse…
Hello! I've recently had a THR and had to stop taking my biologics injections a couple of weeks before the op. I only started the Yuflyma (adalimumab) in April so hadn't really started to feel the benefit of it before I had to pause taking it. I was advised to continue the MTX & Sulfasalazine as normal ie 20mg each week of…

Hi everyone :-) I am new to this group. I have had OA in my left knee for a good few years now, but the last year I have been diagnosed with it in both my hands and now my foot, I am also waiting to see if I have it in my right knee too.
