Dreading seeing the Rheumatologist
Hi everyone, I have an appointment coming up with my Rheumatologist which I’ve been under for the last 3 1/2 years (I’m in the UK, we don’t get a choice in who we see). It took him a couple of years to finally diagnose PMR. During that time I’d become almost housebound. He insisted I take the

Cold and MTX
Hello everyone I've had a cold, bunged up nose, sore throat and slight chesty cough since Tuesday. I'm scheduled to take my weekly MTX on Sunday. Should I take it? I seem to remember reading that I could safely miss a dose and it was actually advised that you should temporary stop the medication if unwell

flu and baby at home
So I think I have awful flu, body aches feeling sick the lot!😭 my baby is really congested and struggling too. I’m going into a flat panic that I have to look after him while barely being able to move😩 I feel like the worst mum and I don’t know what to do, also this flu just doesn’t seem to be shifting

Coughing badly after virus ...
Hi allI had a really nasty cold/cough which has left me with a bad cough and a flare up of asthma. Currently on holiday in India and although I am taking Fostair with a a couple of shots of ventolin inbetween, the cough is not dissipating. It's particularly bad at night. The pollution in India is bad

Lung nodule
I had a CT scan in hospital while being treated for pneumonia. I understand it could be due to infections or scaring in my lungs. It is also quite common (35%) for people to have these. I going back for an x ray in early January.

Cold in September
Hi all didn't take long for me to pick up a cold I work with kids. Yesterday I woke up with a cold and my asthma flaring up. Struggled through work with salamol. Took my rescue steriods last evening and this morning. No work today and resting at home. Salamol at regular intervals. Feel wiped out, no

Feeling safe in public after transplant
Hi all, I’m 3 1/2 months out from transplant. My husband and I have been isolating since COVID-19 with a few instances of freedom with a few road trips when cases were down And we did attend a wedding that was mostly outside and everyone had to test for Covid.

COVID anxiety
As you know from previous posts, three days ago I saw a comedy show at a small arena. I was going to wear a mask and it fell out of my boyfriends pocket. I’m not scared I’ll get covid. I tested negative this morning. Today we are going to the beach, the same beach I went to a few days before I tested

Rise in CA125
I’ve recently have had Pneumonia and Pleurisy. My CA125 was checked yesterday and my CNS has just called me to say that it has risen to 64. She also said that it can rise due to the pneumonia and they will discuss it at next weeks MDT meeting. There is a possibility they may repeat my bloods in 4 weeks

Slow, slow, quick quick slow -to taper or not?
I've forgotten the name of the tapering method. It's come to me in an hour or so I am sure. Canada was amazing and exhausting, we've been back since the 31st May and are still recovering. Mark was diagnosed with OA in his knees in March. Despite steroid injections before we left, his knees did not

Rheumatologist appointment help
Good Morning. ( This is a long story so will try to make it as condensed as I can) 4 years ago I was diagnosed with PMR after painful joints, hands arms, shoulders and toes. I was put on a dose of 40mg of pred as they also thought I may have GCA. Although that turned out to be a dental issue. I was

A positive journey so far, awaiting transfer on Sunday!
I wanted to share my goodish news and hope it doesn’t upset anyone or come across as over confident. I say “goodish” because I’m aware we’ve still got a long way to go. My partner and I are having ICSI at the moment after trying to conceive for 3 years. We did our egg retrieval this week. They collected

Stopping Cerazette
First time poster, but I’ve taken many tips from this board so thank you all in advance. 2 years ago I doubled over in agony, eventually got sent to A&E via my GP with suspected appendicitis. Wasn’t appendicitis, it was a haemorrhaging ovarian cyst. Sent home with painkillers, had a couple of scans and
