My father's dry amd has recently progressed to wet and we have been advised to get an

CHANGE OF BIOLOGIC TREATMENT
Hello, I have had Rheumatoid arthritis since my late 30s (77 now). I had several biologic treatments , some of which did not really control the RA well… The best biologic was Enbrel (Etanercept) weekly injections. It gave me my life back for 14 years until I had my second knee replacement operation

Using flexiseq - tips please
I have recently been discharged by my rheumy, despite my crippling knee pain which he thinks is OA. I am still on half mg pred, and take blood thinners so can't take NSAIDs. I'm waiting for an XRay result. Lovely people on here have suggested I use Flexiseq. I have just started to use it. No noticeable

Cocodamol
Hi there,I had a heart attack (congested arteries) and a stent fitted last year. On the usual cocktail of meds. My back has started playing up and at night I find that if I take two OTC cocodamol it can help me sleep. Is this permitted? I know I can't take NSAIDs but not sure about cocodamol. Paracetamol

Information on psoriatic arthritis
Hi, I'm in new to psoriaitc arthritis, my gp suspects I have the early stages of it and I'm likely to be referred to rheumatology. I just need more information about treatment, progression, diagnosis methods, people's lived experiences? I feel young to be looking at a diagnosis of arthritis, I can't

day6 embryos
hi everyone, I have a day 6 embryo that has been frozen. I have heard that day 5 embryos are better than day6 and success rate is higher for day5. Although my day5 euploid didn’t implant. Can anyone share their experiences with day 6 embryo and what was done to improve the chances of pregnancies.

broken bones and MPN
I’ve never broken any bone in my body but last week I broke my ankle. I’ve been told it’s a stable fracture and have been given a boot and crutches. I do normally have bone pain anyway but my lower leg is extremely painful and hot to touch. I’m taking zapain full daily dose but it’s only barely touching
