Tools for between visits.
Rheumatology is managed over years, and most of what matters happens between appointments. Work out whether a specialist is the right next step, keep track of what your disease is actually doing, and keep the monitoring on schedule.

Don’t use these if something is acutely wrong. High fever with a spreading rash, breathlessness, chest pain, sudden loss of vision, or new weakness or numbness need the nearest emergency department today, not a questionnaire.

DO I NEED A SPECIALIST?Should I see a rheumatologist?
Rheumatologists work by pattern — which joints, how long the stiffness lasts, whether movement helps or hurts. Ten questions sort your symptoms into the pattern they most resemble. It is not a diagnosis and it cannot examine you.

BETWEEN VISITSJoint & symptom diary
A flare three weeks ago is hard to describe from memory. Note it in thirty seconds while it is happening, and bring the pattern to the next consultation.

Medicine & blood-test tracker
The commonest avoidable problem in rheumatology is a monitoring blood test that quietly slipped. Put the dates in once and this tells you when the next one is due.
Your own interval is set by Dr. Saisunil and depends on which medicine you take and how long you have been on it. Use the interval he gave you, not a default.

SCORING AIDSDAS28 calculator
Disease Activity Score across 28 joints, for rheumatoid arthritis. A clinician’s scoring aid for use alongside an examination — it is not a self-assessment and not a diagnosis.
Remission below 2.6 · low 2.6–3.2 · moderate above 3.2 to 5.1 · high above 5.1. DAS28-CRP and DAS28-ESR are not interchangeable; the CRP version tends to read lower.
These tools support a consultation; they do not replace one. Nothing here is a diagnosis, and no treatment should be started, stopped or changed on the basis of a number produced on this page.
