Insomnia
Here we go again. Went to bed feeling decent tossed and turned flipping channels. I took my sleep aid and finally got to sleep around 10 but only lasted 5 hours. Woke myself up with another nightmare of being confined. Been sitting here for an hour and half just crying can’t shake this feeling.

Hair Loss
I have never taken Lorazapan for the side effects of Prednisone. However, when I started on 60mg after my diagnosis of PMR/GCA last summer I felt totally wired, very jittery and like a completely different person. It was very unpleasant. Thank heavens that subsided as I decreased the dose. I did

Lung function tests
Hi All I've been having lung function tests at the hospital, I thought, because of my lung disease, pulmonary fibrosis & emphysema. I've done various breaths blowing & inhaling into a spirometry machine. The last one I had to go into a cubicle & air was cut off for 10 seconds. I haven't been on a running

Weight gain with PMR
Has anyone else experienced the weight gain with tapering off and not when on high dosage. I have had to be on higher dosages 2 different times (not properly diagnosed the first time and Prednisone was stopped). I had a lot of energy and was actually hyper and had to take Ambien to sleep. Perhaps

A KITCHEN GADGET THAT'S NOT STAYING IN THE BACK OF MY CUPBOARD!
I've made soup a handful of times over the years with a pan on the hob and then blitzing with a stick blender. Results were ok, a bit hit and miss, but I can't say I enjoyed the process enough to do it regularly. Jumping forward I found we were spending a fair bit on fresh supermarket soup which my

Should I push for a 7th chemo?
When I was first diagnosed with OV I was told have 3 chemos then a big debulking op followed by 3 chemos to mop up any wayward cells. This then changed to 4 chemos before and 2 after as Christmas got in the way, then, when I didn't get my operation at the last minute due to there not being an ICU bed

Do we need to avoid hair-color, shampoo and soap etc
I was reading a book about the cancer in which the author has said that we should get rid of all the chemical from the house like dish washing bars, soaps, shampoo, lotion we use for our skin and other things like this etc. He said that we should not be using these things on our skins as they can penetrate

Xeljanz / Tofacitinib
Doctor just switched me to Xeljanz I’m supposed to start Saturday & I’m feeling anxious. I was on Leflunomide / Arava since October but I have been flaring to frequently so doctor thought it was best to switch to a biologic. On the Leflunomide I also noticed I lost a lot of hair. I was very nervous

Deferiprone and the Iron Connection
There's a new trial for Deferiprone for EU and UK patients. Unfortunately my dad isn't a candidate but it might be beneficial for those who have had a more recent diagnosis: http://www.fairpark2.eu/29-the-project/france/76-uk-patients There's not a lot of information on the iron/Parkinson's connection

Liver biopsy and no answers!
Sorry I have not replied back to anyone but I have been having a pity party. All the anxiety and being so upset and afraid over the dam biopsy, I finally find the courage to go thinking I will finally have my answer. NOTHING....a big fat nothing. My biopsy only showed some abnormalities, nothing diagnostic

Medication options
For the past 9 months I have been taking Coumadin from the UK because I cannot tolerate the US brands do to the fillers. I no longer can get it. Prof Hughes wanted me on Coumadin because he said the newer medications are not therapeutic. Is there a long acting Warfarin? Or any other options. Designer16
