Pharmacist blocking prescription
I just want to have a rant. For 30 years I have had the usual frustrations of doctors constantly trying to reduce my dose but nothing has compared to this latest scenario. I put in my usual repeat prescription request with plenty of time because pharmacy needs a week now. It was blocked so I phone the

Hello folks, this is me here :-) My mother had and my 3 siblings and I still share a history of hypothyroidism. Each of us takes levothyroxine on a daily basis, except my mother died a few months ago at the age of 90 after many years of slow physical and cognitive decline. I've been taking it for

Ovarian mass continued...
Hi all still in limbo. I got my results recently of MRI repeated in October last one was March. The mass has only increased marginally in size. I have repeated CEA and CA125 so should get those results tomorrow. Last time they said it was solid but this time they said it is not solid component. I don't

Let’s see? Bowel perforation and GCA Flare ?
I’ve been absent for a while…Reader’s Digest Version to follow. Though I haven’t been posting, I’ve been reading for a bit, and as usual….” You raise me up,” and I’m grateful. You may recall I had shoulder replacement surgery in July, and my arm is in amazing condition considering the interruptions

What would you do?
Hello, I haven't checked in for a very long time because everything had been going ok.I've been on Prednisolone for 3 years this Christmas after getting diagnosed with PMR back in October 2020. Initial advised taper was too sharp, I flared very quickly and painfully. But, after joining this forum back

Pain still there over 5 weeks post excision surgery
People that have had excision surgery. How long after the surgery did you still have daily pelvic pain? I'm nearly 5 weeks post surgery and still getting daily pelvic pain. Would of thought this pain would have gone by now?

New to Peripheral Neuropathy
Hi. Apologies if this question has arisen before but I am new to this site. Shortly after hospitalisation in May for low oxygen I developed PN on the soles of my feet. I have just finished an 8 week course of B12 and go to the surgery for a blood test today. My feet seem to be improving but very, very

PIP advice
hello there. I’m looking for some thoughts regarding PIP. I will be 65 in January 24. In 2012 I had my left lung removed as a result of lung cancer. Ergo I now have 50 % less breathing capacity. I was retired early and had my pension was released. At that time I applied for DLA, and received the higher

Update on Dental Implant Surgery
A quick note to say that it all went well. I am currently on 3mg pred. The dental surgeon advised 10 mg the morning of the surgery. I was also given paracetamol and antibiotics. Tooth extracted, implant inserted with some bone graft. Not pleasant but it didn’t hurt at all. Followed the hygiene instructions

upping steroids short term to boost recovery?
writing on behalf of my mum who is getting over a respiratory tract infection (or not getting over it to be precise). She has long PMR (getting on 40 yr) and is constantly trying to reduce pred. I recall reading in this forum a recommendation to temporarily increase dose when ill / having surgery etc

For those with kids...
Sorry if this is triggering for anyone ttc. For the ladies with kids how do you manage? I have 3 young kids 5, 7 and 10. I know I'm lucky to have had no fertility issues. Endo/Adeno I believe has been a result of a c section with my third. But how the hell do you manage the pain and worse CONSTANT FATIGUE

Cardiac surgery
Has anyone on long term thyroid meds had open-heart cardiac repair surgery? Any ideas as to whether it affects thyroid and any need to up/ lower T4/T3 meds? Any reflections/suggestions would be most welcome.

L1/L2 Decompression with Cyst Excision
I’d be very grateful to hear from anyone who has undergone this particular surgery and also from others who decided not to proceed with it. I am 77, live on my own and am managing constant pain (oftentimes severe nerve pain) with gentle exercise, walking little and often, taking a low dose of pregabalin
