- I was wondering if anyone had any weird vision issues while having RA?I know that RA & meds like Plaquenil "can" affect the eyes. But I'm not on Plaquenil & I recently noticed white "flashes" in the peripheral part of my vision. Started about 60...
- Wow it feels like it's been a long time since I've been on here. Thankfully I've felt pretty good except about a month ago I started getting this popping feeling in my right thumb especially when picking something up like my dog or some gym...
- I know this is a long shot & probably just a huge coincidence but I often seem to get dryer skin & my lips will become dryer & even crack/split when I experience a mild flare up.Now, I live in California so it could very well just be that...
- Non important topic here I know, but I'm just curious about anyone who is on this & their experience with it? I see the commercials a lot but I've never heard of or seen anyone on this post on Jelzanz injection or pills?My guess is, since it's...
- I've read on several posts different digestive issues that can accompany RA? My issues started about 2months ago. My wife had severe stomach flu, so once she got over hers I just figued maybe I caught hers. She got over it in 2 weeks total so let...
- I know of all things to complain about on an RA forum (non pain RA related issues) are probably the least popular but ever since being dx'd with RA in 2013 I've experienced this on & off again battle with facial redness/rash/ ITCHYNESS!!!!It...
- So after a year being off meds (MTX 2.5mg) I got back on it @ 5mg once a week of course & I'm also now taking Folic acid regularly. Prior to being put back on I started feeling little pain here & there & every month more joints were being affected...
- So after 1yr 1month of being off med's the past 2-3 months were too much too ignore. I don't feel bad but I definitely don't feel as good as I did while I was on MTX. Pain scale is about a 3 or 4, stiffness maybe 1. My Rheumy feels my symptoms are...
- I know this sounds weird but it's happened now twice. I understand that it could all be coincidence & I don't really expect much input but I had to ask.So twice now in the past 2 years my wife came down with the flu or bad cold & I never contracted...
- I went without using any cologne for 30 days & within that time did not have any migraines. The day I put on one of my favorites it only took about an hour before I started to get the "aura". I'm in that phase now & about 60% of the time I don't get...
- It's been exactly 1 year ago this week that I went completely off meds. I was only taking MTX & @ 2.5mg per week the dosage was so low I didn't even need to take the folic acid to combat any nausea. So with the okay from my Rheumy I got off the...
- Was wondering how many people on here are smokers or are ex-smokers? I read a lot smoking tends to be a very big trigger for those who were diagnosed later in life rather than teens or early adult onset RA.I smoked from 16yrs of age until 37. I was...
- Well after being on remission (supposeldy) since 12/2015 I've experienced what I thought were flare's & could may have well been. But recently I've noticed more joints having slight pain, mostly fingers very slight & very slight stiffness.I can...
- I've been wanting to ask this for a while now on this forum. For those of you who have been through a long term remission or are within remission presently, what does this mean to you? How do you feel as compared to when you PRIOR to even having RA...
- Hey I know for a lot of you across the country this is no big deal but it finally rained here in Southern California & I'm curious to those who live in here, especialy SOCAL did you or do you feel any RA differences?I'm starting to believe I do...
