Low blood pressure
I have GCA with
Takayasu
Arteritis
. I am taking Clopidogrel/ Atorvastatin/ Bisoprolol/ Tocilizumab (3 monthly), yesterday my blood pressure was 92/80. It was taken at the hospital as the doctor’s surgery can’t find it, or my pulse. I emailed my Dr with the result, and she rang me today.

Lots of pain
Thanks again to those who responded to me re pain all over wondering if it was a flare. Finally sorted out. I have a pinched nerve in my lower spine and moderate arthritis in my left hip. Wonders of getting old. At least I know what is causing it. Just a case of managing it. Cheers

Inflammatory Arthritis with Levothyroxine
Has anyone else had severe pains in their tendons and muscles due to Levothyroxine? 18 years ago I had an ESR blood test at my G.P.'s surgery as I had severe pains on Levothyroxine, this proved I had Inflammatory Arthritis, so I bought Armour Thyroid from the US as the only alternative at that time.
