Ignoring bad advice.....
Hi folks, I'm totally new to this forum although not to C25K. I'll be doing W6 R2 tomorrow. I just never realised there was a forum!! Oops. Just over 4 years ago, I was diagnosed with Psoriatic Arthritis. I was absolutely gutted! I was 37 at the time and felt all the expected emotions such as disbelief

Hot Flushes increasing
I reduced my prednisolone from 10mg to 9mg at the beginning of February and just about coping with the soreness but have noticed an increase in facial hot flushes and night sweats. Has anyone else felt these side effects have got worse as you reduce?

I’m going too fast again!
Corticosteroid dose should be increased if symptoms are not well controlled within 1 week, and a diagnosis of giant cell
arteritis
may need to be pursued, especially if prednisone 20 mg/d does not control symptoms.

Well the urology consultant doesn't want to see me again which is a pity as he is quite dishy! 😉 Sadly the glaucoma and rheumatoid arthritis aren't going anywhere and both these consultants are female *sigh* 😩 I should say that my eye and rheumy consultants are both lovely, which is just as well as

I started with PMR seven months ago just before I was due to have a knee replacement. I was on 15mg pred and my consultant refused to operate due to an increased risk of infection until my pred intake was 5mg or less. I am now on 5mg and doing OK and I have arranged an appointment with the consultant

Got to lose weight and tone up
Hi. I’m new to this. I have just cringed at a recent beach photo. Hope at the age of 71, I can lose 2 stone and tone up, before my next beach holiday in May/June. I’m at my heaviest at 11 stone. I have osteoarthritis on the top of my foot, which makes it painful to walk, but I’m going to try.

Recurring pericarditis
I’ve had recurring pericarditis for almost 7 years. I’m treated as having an autoimmune disease as if I have rheumatoid arthritis. I have “flare ups” almost every month, or 6 weeks at the longest. Every time I have a flare I use a medrol dose pack to get the pain back under control. I’ve tried prednisone

So anxious lately...
Hello again everyone- I have always dealt with anxiety but have found ways to deal with it and minimize it. I have Psoriatic Arthritis, Psoriatic Spondylitis, Fibromyalgia and chronic headaches/migraines. Due to a new insurance plan, I haven’t received my biologic in 12 weeks. It makes a HUGE difference

Possible Arthritis?
Hello, I'm Owl and I'm 22. I've been suffering with joint problems my whole life, I have memories of being very young with great pain. Finally after many years of saying I'm just 'fine', Doctors are truly believing me when I say that I'm in pain. It's not 'growing pain', it's not a 'phase'. But since
