Night sweats etc.
I am tapering down from 30mg pred since April 2022 and I am now down to 3mg (4mg alternate days). I am finding I am having a lot of night sweats. Has anyone found else had this problem and if so how long it lasts for? I have to add that I have recently been diagnosed with osteoporosis, and didn't know

K2 supplement
Having read on this forum that calcium/D3 is best supplemented with K2 to aid absorption, I've been taking it with my (prescribed) iCal D3 chewable tablets for some years. I had breast cancer in 2016 and was prescribed Letrozole, and as I had radiotherapy too, advised to take iCal and Alendronic Acid

haematoma -update
As suggested, I got in touch with my haem who told me to go immediately to the hospital. I didn't see her face- to- face but was seen first by a junior doctor and then had a blood test. She reported back to the haem, sending photos. The outcome was I have a course (3 days) of Tranexamic Acid (2000 mg

cholesterol levels for thyroid people
Hi Peeps I was wondering if you could enlighten me a bit about cholesterol if you’re a ( treated ) hypothyroid person . I’ll give you a bit of background… I had been on plant sterols ( natural statins ) for a couple of years with no adverse effects , until June this year when I started getting

Flare? Or has biologic stopped working?
I am on COSENTYX and MTX and had been doing ok. The consultant said I needed to start Alendronic acid as my bone density borderline. Within a few weeks my arthritis symptoms started to flare. I had a depo injection, but little or no effect. I have been taking celecoxib which wasn't doing enough so now

Excess Iron In The Brain Of PwP And The Role Of Thiamine, Melatonin And Hesperidin In Alleviating This Issue
Excess iron in the brain is thought to be a contributing factor to PD and is known to damage the brain. Iron increases in the brain with age, but even more so in PD.

NDT has raised my thyroid anti-bodies. What's next?
Hi All, As I just made a post with my update on NDT (good T3 and T4 levels, but TSH is 0.017, so too low), I received my latest anti-bodies results. And they went up! I've heard some people shared how their anti-bodies went up as well on NDT. Yes, I'm on a gluten-free, whole food diet, been on

UPDATE: Finally, some progress with the back (only took 3 months). Now Week 6 on the bed.
Ater my 11 trips to ER (in Halifax), I got Dr. Das, who at this point, is my hero. He diagnosed 2 fragility fractures at L1, L2 and disc buldges at L4, L5, S1 from a CT scan of July 6th which no one had read. After calling Rheumatolgy Nursing Line on Monday last, for the first time ever, they returned

MCT Oil
in another thread someone posted today about MCT oil. I hadn’t heard of this and have tried to research it. It seems to be useful in a variety of situations and claims include support in weight gain, increased energy, constipation t and pain relief. Really it sounds a bit of a ‘cure all’. I’m wondering

Dexa scan results meaning
Hi Everyone I have finally managed to get a copy of the results of the above which I had done early March. I asked for the scan because I was automatically put on Alendronic acid at the same time as Pred although I had no likelyhood of osteoporosis. It wasn’t until I joined this site I realised the

Safe to take Gabapentin for life?
I haven’t been able to find any reliable info on whether Gabapentin is safe to take for life (30+ years), specifically for severe PLMD with pain. My husband has this and has not started it yet, as his neurology visit isn’t until later this week. His case seems to be different than any we have read about

Better taper management
Hello again helpful people. I thought I'd update on my progress managing PMR, which was not going well 3 months ago. I took your advice and visited the dentist, to have a wisdom tooth out and no prospect of Alendronic Acid for at least 3 months, so that was worth it. But after I failed at reducing

Colchicine and Inflammation Revisited
Inflammation is one of the two principle drivers of “The Hallmarks of Cancer” which are the common drivers of progression of cancer from initiation to invasion and spread, to developing resistance to treatments and ultimately to end stage metastasis. (The other main driver being genomic instability:
