Actemra and weight
I've been on Actemra for about a year. Been off it for a few weeks because of tooth extraction and rheumatologist wants me to restart. RX insert and other research says most biologics and more specifically tocilizumab (Actemra) causes weight gain. I lost significant weight while so sick with GCA even

LCHF without dairy?
Hi there, I’m currently calorie counting which I find fits with family life because I can eat the same meals as wife and kids. Interested in exploring LCHF but I have a dairy intolerance (that’s a big part of why I dismissed it as an option months ago). Wondering if anyone does LCHF without cheese,

Staying low carb in a high carb world
I have had great success with going low carb, and sad to say I think my greatest ally in this has been coronavirus. I started December 2019, on what I first thought was going to be a diet (as in something I do for awhile and then stop) and allowed myself to break my own rules at social events. So, over

Hi everyone it's been a while since I posted in this group. Anyway, the last time I was here I had some questions about which method would be best for my weight loss journey and someone suggested trying the lchf plan. I've been trying the lchf plan for a few weeks now and I've had some positives like

Anti-inflammatory diet
I am relatively new to this site and think it is great! I read a couple of posts every day with great interest. I was diagnosed with PMR in August 2020 after a couple of months of excruciating pain in my shoulders. My GP pretty quickly suspected it and confirmed it with a short course of Pred (15 mg

EIB/Asthma not normal symptoms
Anybody out there who has been diagnosed with Exercise induced Asthma but does not have any of the normal symptoms ie wheezing, shortness of breath or tightness of chest. I just become strained inside and my peak flow goes down to about 450.

One step forward, two steps back
Well, after reducing prednisolone from 40 to 20mg, then having to go back to 25mg as my peak flow dropped, I’m now back on 30mg for at least one or two weeks! The gp has spoken to the respiratory team at the hospital and they say they wouldn’t do anything different at the moment ☹️. On top of that,

Anyone celebrating Burns Night?
25th of January is a traditional feast day in Scotland (Robert Burns' birthday), celebrated with haggis, tatties and neeps. And scotch. Haggis is a meaty treat, full of organ meats, so very nutritious. It also has oatmeal, so it's surprisingly high carb, 18g/100g which is more than the tatties (potatoes

C.O.P.D. and thyroid.
My mother died 10 years ago of C.O.P.D. I am certain she had a thyroid problem all her life but it was never addressed. I have asthma so it seems, my lung capacity isn't very good, checking the Peak Flow meter it is now much worse from the last measure a year ago. Wondering if I have the beginnings

8 puffs of Fostair 200/6 a day - really?
I’m in the sixth week of oral prednisolone for asthma - tapering down 5mg a week from 40mg starting dose. Annoyingly, when I got down to 20mg, my peak flow started to drop so the doctor told me to go back up to 25mg and also to double the Fostair to 8 puffs a day. Is that a normal dose - I thought 4

Why is my breathing suddenly so bad?
I have had asthma for years but although I admit I generally haven't taken my preventer regularly I have felt very comfortable. Suddenly my symptoms have become severe. No cough, just tight and unable to breathe easily. When it first started it was terrifying as my chest, diaphragm and ribs felt exhausted

Meal replacement shakes and soups
My GP has referred me to the Rewind programme which aims to help diabetes type 2 patients lose weight and possibly achieve remission. One mode of this programme consists of meal replacement shakes and soups, which to my mind does not seem appropriate for a liver patient (I have been diagnosed with likely

Has anyone tried or researched
low
dose
naltrexone
for pain symptoms? From what I’ve read is it works like opioids. I’ve tried opioids once and didn’t seem to help. Just wondered if it may work a little different also. Shows that it helps with MS and neuropathy so possible.

Sore upper chest
Hi. Wondering if anyone else has had anything similar. My upper chest feels really sore and has for about two weeks. I finished steroids last week as my pf dropped to 500 (usually 650). I have moved house and lots of dust as I’m am waiting for my flooring to be laid. My peak flow is now about 550.

I’m getting a bit breathless on Fostair MART
I’ve been on Fostair MART for nearly 2 months and gradually my cough has got less and my breathlessness went away. Yesterday and today I e felt a bit breathless and I took an extra puff on my inhaler, but it hasn’t really helped. Should I take the maximum 8 puffs again (I did this for two weeks when

Well overall it has been a good week, although it has been “b****y” freezing as my mother would say. I often wondered why my mother would swear every other word but say as children we were not allowed to. Do not get me wrong she never used very foul language, just the “b” words. I soon found I had

Food allergy testing
Hi all Cab you help me out please? My brother is absolutely convinced that something I'm eating, if not the cause of the PMR, is certainly making it worse. I'm happy he is interested but I'm slightly less convinced than him. I barely drink alcohol as that causes more pain. I eat in a low carb way as
