why am I so tired
I was diagnosed with GCA in November. I have been reducing Prednisone every 2 weeks. I started on 40mg and I am now on 12.5mg. I have steroid induced diabetis and my readings have been very erratic. They seem to be settling down a bit. I am taking 160mg and 80mg of Gliclazide, I have also been prescribed

Treating constipation hasn't affected the wetting accidents
My son is 8 and has never been dry, day or night. I began toilet training him after his third birthday and I thought at first that I must have done it wrong as he could never keep dry. He would have the occasional poo accident too, but his real problem was wees. I took him to GPs and HVs and was either

Pericardial effusion
I had taken Prednisone for about three and a half years for PMR and stopped about four months ago. In December a follow up CT scan for something else showed fluid in the pericardial sac. One of the causes listed for this to occur is an auto immune condition. I have never seen anyone on this forum speak

disinhibition?
my son had a head injury 25 years ago .. has struggled since with work, relationships , mental health issues though outwardly to the world seems unaffected. In the early years alcohol was an escape route for him and he lost many friends and got himself in difficult situations … because he said outrageous

The Truth about Home Hemodialysis
It has been the hardest month I have ever had in my life. I promised I would write an honest and complete description of the process. I started on October 16th. The first week, I wrote about already. Not too many issues. But in my head, I was so overwhelmed. I was not ready for dialysis mentally in

Dentistry.
I have PMR and have also been treated for Acoustic Neuroma by Gamma Knife surgery.The Acoustic Neuroma is no longer active but damage remains. I presently take 10mgm Prednisone daily in one dose. I need several dental extractions on the same side (upper jaw). Should I expect my dentist to refer me to

adrenal crisis?
i have been on pred for almost 3 years trying to wean myself off. i never seem to get below 8mgs until the symptoms return. i found that having half my dosage early in the morning really helped so thanks for that advice. i now have managed to reduce to 6mgs. and was beginning to congratulate myself.

Quitting work
Unsure of the purpose of this post but I guess if it helps someone else then that’s it! Well I finally had to quit my job aged 35 - my symptoms have become incompatible with it and I cannot keep calling in sick, nearly having accidents on the commute, sweating when someone is taking ages in the only

Soiling Issue
After 2 years of chronic constipation I disimpacted my 6 year old last October which resulted in less soiling. My son was even getting the sensation of needing to go again maybe 3-4 times per week. We managed to wean him off Senna (started to give him tummy cramps) and have stayed on a maintenance dose

sleepiness or agitation
hi My husband suffered a brain injury in a RTA on 24/11/3023. He gained consciousness about 2.5 weeks ago. He is still in ICU being weaned off his vent with an trach. Over the last 5 days he has been not sleeping through the night and therefore being very sleepy most of the day time. When not asleep

First dialysis.... not for a wuss
As I promised, I am going to document my journey as I have done before. Now it is hemodialysis. Holy mackerel. Anyone who thinks this is easy, let them sit in the chair for a turn and see what they think. My husband came with me and will be attending the training with me for the next five weeks. I am

Apathy, compulsiveness, and how to manage?
If I take enough c/l to feel motivated, I get compulsive, hyperfocused, forget to eat or follow my schedule, stay up too late, etc. This holiday season has disrupted my schedule and I've lost 5 lbs that l'd spent months trying to gain back. If I take less, I don't feel like doing much other than sitting
