It's so important to diagnose psoriatic arthritis early. If you have psoriasis please join the HPOS study at https://t.co/xBBFj4npgo

Are you living with #psoriasis? Then we need you!

@UniofOxford researchers are trying to understand who is more likely to develop psoriatic arthritis in a new study.

If you suffer from psoriasis and would like to help with our research, find out more! https://t.co/9Dfe6lMYbu

[LauraCoates @DrLauraCoates]

After careful co-design with some amazing patients, we are launching the @Hippocrates_IMI funded HPOS study. Please join if you have psoriasis so we can work towards predicting and preventing psoriatic arthritis

We didn't have parties to "boost morale"
We didn't have quiz nights
We didn't have champagne
We watched our colleagues die though
We were STEEPED in death
We kept going
We had to
We kept on
So don't you DARE say your parties were "necessary" @borisjohnson
You make me sick.

NEW RESEARCH—What is the optimal dose of #methotrexate to administer with a TNF inhibitor? The MIRACLE trial shows that adalimumab + reduced-dose methotrexate is non-inferior to adalimumab + maximal-dose methotrexate in patients with #rheumatoidarthritis https://t.co/RofdRqNbvG

Excellent talk by Dr. Jeff Curtis on vaccinations in patients with rheumatic disease:

💉high dose flu conditionally recommended for all adult patients on immunosuppression

💉hold MTX 2 weeks after flu vaccination if disease allows (flare rate 10.6% vs. 5.1% if MTX cont.)
