- Anyone every have any issues with pain underneath the collarbone? I don't believe it's the bone itself or where there may be a joint involved. It feels a bit deeper maybe into the muslce. I guess if it was muscle then it wouldn't be associated with...
- So I asked my Rheumy for updated labwork. Might as well since my deductibles are paid up & here is what came back.Sed Rate = 2 = normalRF factor = 9 = normalC-Reactive Protein = 0.13 = normalCCP = 53 = High or Positive since positve is between...
- I was wondering how often & at what levels do you flare per year? I'm just trying to gauge myself, it's one of the ways I try & "reason" with my own RA. I feel like I'm in a cycle of flaring once every 1 month now, but they're very mild. If I keep...
- I know it sounds very odd but I was doing some casual reading about a year ago on migraines on the internet & you know sometimes when you start searching you can end up finding very odd ball, off the wall, theories & conspiracies all over the place....
- Not sure if I'm describing this correctly but sometimes when I take an anti-inflammatory for a completely different reason than RA the next few days I feel like I'm experiencing a mini flare up? For instance, I took 500mg (1 tablet) Aleve on...
- So I've been wondering about these so called "migraine sunglasses" now for a few months. I almost pulled the trigger a few times before finally settling on a company called TheraSpecs out of Phoenix AZ. I purchased the model: "Haven Indoors". Got...
- Lately I've been experiencing a lot of aura's but no real pain to follow like my typical migraine's. My migraine typically goes like this:I typically get a migraine once every other month but then sometimes I get clusters of 1 ever week. After that...
- What's the worst part for you? Is it the pain, stiffness, both, explaining to friends, fatigue etc.?I know for me at least at this moment, it's the "unknown"? From day to day I don't know how I'm going to feel. Let me start off by saying I know my...
- So I just got back from my normal scheduled RA visits & reviewed my labs with my Rheumy. I am a little worried because although all other area's were normal my ALT & AST came back elevated AST 139, ALT 101!! I have had elevated liver enzymes before...
- I'm curious on how many people have left this site since it's change. I don't see as many posts & or as many updates. I still check in from time to time but I'm having a hard time getting used to it's look & format & this is coming from someone who...
- I've had migraines since I was 14 years old. When I was younger the migraines were much more predictable. I'd get aura 1/2 hour, followed by numbing fingers, lips for about 1/2 hour & then pain for a solid 2 hours & it would all be gone in about 3...
- Hello everyone, I've been on the Rheumatoid Arthritis board for a year but have recently wondered if maybe I've been misdiagnosed or maybe i have both. UI'll try to keep this short:2003 I had a weird fever, diagnosed with walking pneumonia. I...
- I've been on the RA journey now for 2 years. I know I'm a newbie still. But I've ben doing a lot of "reflecting" as of late & I know it can end up driving you mad after a while but it's also interesting. This is just a rant so don't feel like you...
- I know this topic has been beat to death on here a few times but I'd let to get some up to date thoughts.Medically we all know that RA can affect any joint however per the doctors I've talked to they said the lower lumbar lacks the synovian fluid...
- Not sure if anyone saw this or if it's even true. You konw a lot of these websites claim to have new drugs or "cures" coming out & it's all BS. But this looked promising.Especially for those burning through the biologics or not finding any relief...
