- The gout board on DS does not appear active, so I wanted to just ask the opinion of my fellow RAers. My husband recently has developed gout. His PCP treated him for this condition with Prednisone and prescription Ibuprofen. I cannot tell from...
- Hi everyone. I wanted to see what you think about this. After discussing with ob/gyn docs (specialized in high risk preganancy) and my rheumy, I came up with a plan and was treated with plaquenil while trying to conceive. According to my rheumy's...
- Hi all. Most of my pain has been intense joint pain, but on sunday through Tuesday of this week I had different pain that felt like my hands were on fire. pain on sunday I would say hit a 9 out 10. Would you describe your pain as fire-like?

- Going to my PCP this afternoon, but pretty sure I have freakin shingles. It is a band rash across my left side. Not on immunosuppressants, just doxycycline and ceftin so this is likely just due to autoimmunity. Birthday is next week. so I guess...
- Just venting. My four year old said he doesn't want to grow up because when he gets bigger he will hurt. He elaborated that when you get bigger you hurt. I told him that just is not true and that sometimes people get boo boos but then they get...
- After having my son, I have had this faint pain in my mid back that I have always attributed to lifting him. It comes and goes, or at least me noticing comes and goes. Sometimes it is worse than others. Now I am scared it was RA all the time. It...

- I cannot stop crying today. all day at work, running to the bathroom to ball my eyes out. How do I stop this disease from taking everything. Which doctor do I listen to? I keep coughing so everyone at the office thinks its a cold. No...I just...
- Anyone out there get scabby scalp? So it has only happened to me twice, and I thought dandruff, and when I was asked about rashes I keep thinking I never had any and answer the doctor no. I was reading up on psoriatic arthritis and they talk about...
- I was diagnosed in August with RA, pos. ANA, Anti-CCP and RF. My husband and I were trying to have another baby at the time, as I had recently suffered a miscarriage. We have one little boy who is three. In my desperate searches, I found info...

- Has anyone tried to follow Dr. Brown's antibiotic protocol or something similar to treat their RA and failed. I thinking Minocin, which is an approved dmard, is good place to start with my treatment since I have minor symptoms to date. What is...
