Hi Community - I have been on Imraldi for 2.5 years now (PSA) and it’s changed my life. Today I received a letter from the NHS stating they are moving everyone to a BioSimilar (Yuflyma) - assuming due to cost. I am going to contact my consultant but wondered if anyone has any experience of changing from one to another? I’m…
Hi, I'd like to hear other people's experience - I don't have a feeling about whether I'm doing ok or not and not seeing anyone 'till the end of the month. I'm doing all the exercises ok. I'm walking without crutches in the house, one crutch outside. Pain is manageable. I do feel I lack stamina. Just made some hummus and…
I've just started feeling the first twinges of Shingles. I've had it twice before, but both times were before I started Methotrexate.

Does anybody have any experience of claiming for PIP for my condition? Is it possible firstly or would I be wasting my time?
Finally had a knee replacement on 17th Sept. Swelling and pain was huge and I was put on 20ml of morphine with paracetamol. The pain was intense but I was still made to climb a set of stairs despite crying out with every step. I was discharged and had to stay with sister as I was crying out in pain. 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…
