Dr Eric Matteson - Philip Hench Lecturer #acr18 The best Disclosure slide ever! “I prescribed a lot of C21H28O5” (that’s Cortisone to you and me) ! In fact, we all still do. 2.5 million Americans take steroids on any given day. @rheumnow Has it had it’s day? https://t.co/7Cw2IDtfyZ

#ACR18 @RheumNow abs 2836 maybe it's time to think across connective tissue diseases as well as within them to better understand their molecular taxonomy. A bit of shameless self-promotion!! @Dr_JohnR @tracyannbriggs https://t.co/CL6vH0zbDj

Enbrel non medical switch study w 89 pts switching. No sig change in DAS28-ESR, SJC/TJC/global scores but only 3 month f/u... data on Enbrel non med switches have been very sparse so every study, even small is important right now @RheumNow #ACR18 https://t.co/DouMLWlIix

#ACR18 Neil Basu from Aberdeen showing some lovely functional brain imaging data that implies that #fibromyalgia symptoms in RA have similar neurobiological signature to ‘primary’ FM. Strong correlation between FM survey score and DMN-insula connectivity. @RheumNow https://t.co/onrbeLhOYM

#ACR18 @rheumnow abs 2419. In a busy clinic, ask 'one key question' as a way to opening discussion on pregnancy planning in SLE. With an EPR it can even come up as a prompt on your screen. https://t.co/hQwlcxIZrB

#ACR18 @RheumNow abs 2653. Worryingly over 50% of SLE patients on potentially teratogenic drugs are using less reliable forms of contraception: 6% on nothing. A global issue in SLE. https://t.co/UH2IqaOa8D
