- Hi there group. I have been gone off of here for probably almost 2 years now. I have been doing so well on my Simponi monthly shot that I almost didn't think I had RA anymore. I've had an issue since around Christmas that I'm a bit concerned about...
- hello group. I have been gone off of here for a little bit after I started simponi. I did so well after of my first shot but then about 3 weeks in I, unfortunately, got a really bad cold. My Rheumatologist immediately put me on antibiotics which I...
- I started my first simponi shot last month. . Very happy with results so far. I spent most all day Wednesday with a friend. . Most of a day in a car. She came down with a cold that night.. I now have a sore throat and bit of a runny nose. Of...
- Hey folks. .I have a question or concern really. I had my first shot of simponi last Monday. . Very pleased with the immediate results in being able to close my hands again after over 8 months. I know there are concerns with biologics and other...
- About 2 weeks ago I noticed a bump in my little toe area..researched and assume a bunionette...not even worth a real bunion. Some of what I read said that it can be an effect of RA...how strange? Anybody else get this wonderful gift also? I...
- I've been doing pretty good with watching my diet and tracking food. My stomach had really settled down until yesterday. I went on my annual limo trip to the wineries. Wine hasn't bothered me before but I had crab cake, french fries and hush...
- I'm new to this group and not really certain that I have ibs. We are still in testing phase. I'm going on the 1st for colonoscopy and endoscopy. I've had blood work and stool sample which came back fine. It started about 6 weeks ago feeling...
- Hey good folks. I have been absent for a while now as have been doing much better and my rheumy just said to come back in 6 months... staying on just plaquenil twice a day and my celebrex when needed. Still only right ring finger an issue and that...
- Folks... I'm curious about the use of cortizone shots in the finger joints. The only real issue I seem to have at this time, and for the last few months, is my right ring finger.... it will not bend on it's own and hurts a touch when trying to use...
- I'm not sure if this has anything to do with RA, but thought that I would ask you nice people if you have had anything similar. Off and on, I get a sharp pain in my upper left rib cage... now I have 12 rib fractures... a few with multiple breaks...
- A question for you folks please. Has anybody had their rings 'redone' with the adjustable bands? I hate that I can no longer where my lovely rings. I have had small fingers all my life and now my rings that fit ring fingers barely fit my little...
- Hey folks... a question please. For the most part I can live with my achey hands, but lately my ring finger of right hand (I'm right handed of course) is SO sore... it is hard to not use it when doing anything. this morning I was making chicken...
- After a really good week, starting having more stiffness yesterday. I blamed it on the weather, a early spring snowstorm... cold, damp and yucky! I'm on the same meds... still on 5mg of prednisone, but noticed yesterday and today that a couple of...
- BUT, I hurt! I have been doing better (on prednisone again, started at 20mg, went to 15 after 3 days then to 10) and then yesterday the weather changed from relatively mild for Virginia in March to cold,damp,wet,icy yuck! My poor fingers this...
- Have any of you here had a weird feeling on your tongue? I feel like it has been burned or has a 'coat' on it. Very strange and started probably around the same time as my symptoms in Jan. I'm on plaquenil/celebrex/prednisone as needed... Food...
