Norovirus - does having PMR increase my risk?
I am currently on 5.5 mg prednisolone. The Care Home where I work part time has an outbreak of Norovirus with a lot of the residents and staff being infected, am I more at risk because of my PMR and steroid dependency?

Covid and injections
I suffered from Covid over Christmas from the 16th to the 30th December. Up 'til now I have had all the injections on offer. I read Dorset Lady's post that we are going to be offered another injection in the spring. It has left me wondering whether I will need this or not in the circumstances. I

Lercandipine 20mg and AFib
I was started on 10mg Lercandipine in the mornings by my Cardiologist about a year ago. I also take 15mg Bisoprol, 2.5mg Indapamide and 40 mg Olmesartan together with 60mg Edoxaban in the morning and 8mg Doxazosin at night. A week ago he changed my Lercandipine dosage to 20mg and to take it in the evening

Prednisone blood concentration and exercise
Does exercise have any effect on the
prednisone
concentration in one's body? For example, if I took my morning dose of
prednisone
then later walked at a fast pace for over an hour, would that exercise increase the rate the
prednisone
or its derivative prednisolone is eliminated from my body?

Feeling dreadful but doc says results are fine!
Hi there, I was diagnosed with underactive thyroid back in July 2020. I was prescribed 25mg levothyroxine which was increased to 50mg after 6 months. Shortly after starting levothyroxine I started getting stiffness in my neck and shoulders along with pain in my hips and groin - the only way I can

Stop Actemra for good?
I am down to 4.5 mg of
Prednisone
. Started at 15 a couple of years ago. Have had about a year of monthly Actemra infusions (monthly infusions not weekly shots). I don’t feel different after them. Why shouldn’t I stop taking them?

Figuring things out - first year since diagnosis
Hi, I'm posting here as I don't know anyone in real life with lupus and have been struggling to work out what my expectations should be in terms of symptoms. I was diagnosed just over a year ago following about a year of strange symptoms - GI issues, weight loss, Raynaud's, mouth ulcers, hand and wrist

Is it absolutely necessary to take omeprazole before Prednisolone?
I am on my second round of Prednisolone and have been told by the doctor that I must take omeprazole as well even though I’ve got osteoporosis. I have always taken it an hour before breakfast then Pred with my breakfast but wondered how long before can I take omeprazole. For instance will it still work

DSNS Taper
I am on 18 years of
prednisone
:0. I am down to 10mg and need to taper and my doctor just told me to try this DSNS taper but I don’t understand it in the examples. The examples say to take the new dose 1 day, the old dose 6 days, then the new dose 1 day and then the old dose 5 days etc.
