Does anyone take Methotrexate 20mg together with Leflunomide 10mg and tell me if it has any side effects and how you feel???
Does anyone have neck pain which goes up into the head, makes the skin itchy on the one side of the head and then have headaches.

Has anyone else tried various NSAID's and found they just don't work?

I appreciate it takes a while to get used to things, but has anybody else tried swimming and it's just not helped? I was fortunate enough to find a private pool,…

I have osteoarthritis in my knees (one worse than the other) and although I am working my friend has suggested that I may be able to get some help by putting in a claim for PIP.
