What causes cold sweats?
I’ve been taking Prednisolone for PMR since May 2021. I’ve been very gradually reducing and have been on 4mg for 1 month. I take the Pred at about 5am with yoghourt and banana. I had Covid 2 weeks ago. I didn’t up the Pred dose. I have no PMR pain. I feel ok in the mornings but have high anxiety

Feeling cold all the time
Hi, I have scleroderma and reynauds and while I am used to having cold hands and feet of late I am very cold all over, even my core. I was wondering if I might be low on some vitamins or minerals and was hoping someone might be able to advise. Regards, Darren

10 year old with red patches on her face
Hi all,Just tying to figure out what we're dealing with here using your experience. My daughter, which is 10, started what looks to be a case of impetigo (meaning blisters in her nostril, crust and typical looking scabs). She only had few spots (under her nose and in top of one nostril). We started

Is pseudamonas contagious??
Hi, Does anyone know if my pseudamonas could be transmitted to those who live in close proximity? I always thought not but I've been worried about my OH's persistent cough - I know there could be many other reasons for his cough and his recent sputum test was clear but....

Nothing seems to help with cold feet except my heated mat and gloves for my hands.

Saw Cardiologist today, now more anxious than ever.
Hi Everyone Thank you all for your lovely replies to my original post. I saw the cardiologist today and he says he thinks my PH is primarily caused by my asthma/COPD. He didn't put me on any medications at this stage. He wants an ultra sound done on my heart in September [[2 months away!] to compare

Cold Turkey
Hello Everyone, What happens if i just "Cold Turkey" Stop the 6.5 mg of methylprednisolone? I'm so sick of it all. I've gotten very low on meds (even zero for a few days) and the pain and stiffness return so bad i can't function. If i just quit, what's the worst that can happen?

PEG vs Aspirational Pneumonia
Mum has reached a new point in her illness and food intake is now causing her to be sick on occasion which is ultimately leading to seizures and a risk of choking. We have been told the only way to ultimately stop this is via a peg or accept that this will eventually lead to her choking getting pneumonia

Covid
I should have been at a relatives tonight but they phoned to say they’d got covid but thought I’d be ok to visit if I wore a mask. I said I wouldn’t be going, they think I’m being over cautious as “it’s just a cold these days”. I’m on Rux which I’ve been told will make me susceptible to infections.

GCA and Cough/Interstitial Lung Disease?
Does anyone with GCA have a dry, sometimes productive, cough? It feels like a bronchial irritation and I cough more when I speak. The cough comes and goes. I read that it is an uncommon symptom of GCA. TB has been ruled out. Chest x-rays show opacities in the base of my lungs. The cough occurs
