Interesting results where cannabidiol NEG results in RCT in hand OA and PsA. ? Throw out the ‘pot’with the dish water? Did it stimulate appetites? Was pain the same but interference less? Abst#1456 #ACR21 @RheumNow https://t.co/rnz82Paxkr

#ACR21 Ab#1166. How many of your pts use marijuana?
⭐️Probably more than you think!
▶️57% have tried, >50% use at least weekly
▶️67% doctors thought <20% of pts use it
🔥Pts over 40 yo MORE likely to report marijuana use

In a world where telemedicine and virtual care are not going away, is there value in patients assessing their own tender and swollen joints?
Work from the Canadian Early Arthritis Cohort (CATCH, @earlyarthritis) presented by Dr. Vivian Bykerk (@BykerkVivian) is the subject of two abstracts from Monday’s poster floor, exploring the utility as to how patient assessments might match up to rheumatologist assessments.

Sublingual Cyclobenzaprine for fibromyalgia. It seems to improve pain, and across the board on secondary endpoints. But all by a modest effect. Big placebo response also. Not time to get overly excited yet. Abstr#0477 #ACR21 @RheumNow https://t.co/aUtwaH5oEh
