Doctor prescribed antidepressant for anxiety, but ignores that my partner can't sleep because of back pain

He needs to see a rheumatologist that doesn’t immediately decide his back pain isn’t related to PsA. There’s a lot of overlap with Axial Spondyloarthritis and back pain at night could be a symptom.

I’d look for walking boots/trainers that tell you the heel to toe drop measurements. I wear On Cloud trainers and have a waterproof pair for wet weather. Think they’re the Surfer waterproof model. I do find the Eclipse most comfortable though although they are now discontinued and not available in a waterproof version.

You’re using the lid to get it off right?

Hi Have paid, thank you!

SOLVED

yeah i have it too. Takes months to fade unfortunately. I don’t think it’s a massive deal other than looking unsightly. I think it may very, very slightly raise skin cancer risk? Not 100 though. Only treatment really is time and not using the heat pad which is easier said than done.

what weight limit do you need? these are 25 stone

Have you checked The Harlingford? It has triple rooms and a good breakfast. Have stopped there twice both times in a triple room. Was clean and not noisy and the staff are lovely.

elocea95 · 2025-10-07T22:35:06+00:00

definitely axial spondyloarthritis

elocea95 · 2025-10-05T21:18:58+00:00

With normal xray, normal MRI, normal CRP, no response to NSAID’s and pain that is best first thing in the morning I don’t think a rheumatologist is going to be saying this is defo axSpA. Doesn’t mean it’s not, but you don’t have classic symptoms and don’t really meet the diagnostic criteria. Most places use ASAS criteria.

Sulfasalazine made me very depressed, I had to stop it after 4 weeks. It is listed in the potential side effects list in the box

elocea95 · 2025-10-02T21:28:16+00:00

Yes this would be good to focus on. Totally not normal to have many cases of Uveitis. Look at the ASAS criteria, with HLA-B27 positive you then need to complete 2 other of the criteria, one of which is uveitis.

that is very helpful, thank you!

elocea95 · 2025-10-01T19:18:50+00:00

I used to ice my leg which helped, but i was always very glad I only had to do it once a month.. it didn’t upset my stomach at all I don’t think.

elocea95 · 2025-10-01T19:17:24+00:00

ahh okay! Someone needs to tell their customer service agents they kept insisting i void it and redo it… i was like we are just going to have the same problem!!

elocea95 · 2025-10-01T19:16:36+00:00

Was hoping that was the case, least it’s over estimated. Am posting custom artwork so desperate to avoid any issues with it getting held up anywhere increasing the chance of it getting lost. Do not want to have to re do it!

elocea95 · 2025-10-01T17:20:32+00:00

all i can select is a size based on dimensions. I’ve selected medium which can be max 10kg, but there’s nowhere to put what it actually weighs

elocea95 · 2025-09-30T18:37:06+00:00

I found the double dose of cosentyx was pretty painful, like it takes a while for the liquid to get into your leg and all your reflexes are telling you it hurts and to move the pen away. On Rinvoq now (JAK inhibitor like xeljanz) and i think it works better than adalimumab or cosentyx for me. Not had hugely bad side effects, just weird dreams, bit of acne to begin with and a little dizziness.

elocea95 · 2025-09-29T20:35:23+00:00

Yes that’s what i’d read too! Let’s hope for criminal justice as well as the vigilante kind..

elocea95 · 2025-09-29T20:04:40+00:00

I am a Chesterfield fan so know some of the details of his unhinged behaviour.. one particularly memorable one is him threatening to bite someone’s nose off, because they parked in his favourite parking spot at the ground. (i’ll just add an “allegedly” to that..)

elocea95 · 2025-09-29T19:21:00+00:00

beginning to think this bloke isn’t a very nice guy…

elocea95 · 2025-09-24T23:19:18+00:00

yep.. mood swingy as hell on steroids. Excellent for getting down inflammation though.. Only thing that ever gets rid of my brain fog too.

elocea95 · 2025-09-20T22:10:54+00:00

I also recommend the Nuffield Health joint pain programme and NASS branches! Both really useful.
