Plantar fascia tear, due to long-term prednisone use?
He says it's an unusual injury, but likely due to long-term
steroids
. I have a tear to my plantar fascia, where it inserts under the heel. He strapped it and suggested heel cups to lift my heel (Amazon) and only supportive trainers while it heals.

Unknown Cause Encephalitis
It feels like i'm taking these
steroids
and not even knowing if they are helping or not. I am also living in a foreign country and my family is on the other side of the world at the moment. It feels quite overwhelming. Please let me know if anyone has experienced anything similar!!

advice on sulfasalazine and the sun
I have been told by my rheumatologist nurse that I need to start taking sulfasalazine for my reactive arthritis, as I had a steroid injection after taking
steroids
orally, but it’s still not keeping the joint stiffness at bay completely .

The Rheumatology Saga Continues!
He said he'd never heard of a plan like that and 30mg of
steroids
would probably mask most issues and it wasn't helpful to be on such a high dose.

out of hospital after pneumonia
Should I increase my
steroids
again under sick day rules when having flu jab? Sorry for long post but very confused with how to progress. Not sure respiratory ward or nurse giving jab completely understands the situation. Any advice from you experienced people would help.

Marginal zone lymphoma
I refused
steroids
as I listen to my gut instinct, but was started on mycophenolate. As teams carried on investigating what was going on further scans were showing nodules were disappearing themselves. Which was great.

My friend is on 65mg of pred.
steroids
. I read that he needs a low salt and low fat diet. Also he needs to eat foods with potassium and he should take Vitamin D. Should he speak to his GP even though the
steroids
are being managed by his neurologist?

Struggling to reduce, despite slow descent
I am feeling pretty despondent about where I am going though I know the
steroids
are valuable and my only option to make life manageable. I developed PMR symptoms in March/April 2022 and was given the diagnosis in May by a rheumatologist who I saw privately.

Dear Friends This is Mom asking
The MS doctor started to proceed to put him on an agressive
steroids
- he is responding well and is reporting the right side of his body is returning back to normal for now. My ask: how do you know you have MS? When a doctor cannot depict the root cause? The symptons may be different?
