Melanoma Surgery while taking Actemra and Prednisone
Hello, I have GCA/PMR and currently on 2.5mg prednisone and Actemra every other week. I just found out I have to have a melanoma surgery, and a surgery called “lymph node biopsy” where they remove some lymph nodes to determine if cancer has spread. My question is: should I increase/decrease prednisone

The plexopathy continues
After speaking to the consultant again he is saying to maintain long term on a low dose of Prednisolone. I'm back I agony so I have to do something. The Gabapentin isn't helping in the slightest so I'm coming off it slowly. I asked if there was an alternative to the Prednisolone and he mentioned methotrexate

Pneumonia vaccination
Hi all. I have recently returned to Spain for the foreseeable future and managed to get my covid vaccination shortly after my arrival a few weeks ago. I had my flu vaccination in the UK just before we came out. I have to say that I have responded well to both vaccinations with no adverse side effects

Flare Strategy?
After having a flare 4 months ago and going from 4.5 mg to 10 for a week, then dropping back to 5.5 for 5 weeks, I have now tapered down to 5mg, where I have been for 10 weeks. My doctor seems fine with my staying at 5 for awhile longer. Three days ago and coinciding with much colder weather, I experienced

t3 only treatment need advice
When i got hypo i figured out fast that t4 only only worsend everything. My doc added 10 t3 it was better but not optimal. She put me on 4 Grain NDT and i did well for 2 years. Then got one symptom and we played with NDT dosages lower, higher, brands and a combo with NDT plus 10 T3... I transitioned

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

flare concern
I am continuing to deal with my latest flare. You good folks gave me some advice a week or two ago. When trying to reduce from 2.5 mg of prednisone to 2 it created more stiffness. However for the month of January at 2.5 mg I was probably all along more sore than I should have been. Two weeks ago I
