Hi, I hope anyone can help me. I'm 46 and I'm suffering on a stubborn balanitis for more than 5 months. It is so strong that I even can't wear underwear. So, I haven't left my house since July and I can't work, so I don't have an income right now. 4 doctors didn't help me. They didn't write me ill

Greetings, fellow travellers! I've been on Cimzia for nearly 3 years now and, while I'm not in remission, I have generally only relatively minor issues stemming from the rheumatoid arthritis. However, I am constantly plagued with these "relatively minor" problems, including eye inflammation, sinus

Hello everyone, I have had asthma and neurodermatitis for a long time. At the beginning I was given a cortisone spray for asthma and at some point a cortisone ointment for the dermatitis. My odyssey began with the cortisone ointment because it made my dermatitis extremely worse instead of better. At

At long last my TKR surgery is planned for later this month. I couldn’t be happier, I’m not exactly looking forward to the procedure but I will be glad to get it done and hopefully make a good recovery. It will be nice to go on walks again, to sit comfortably in theatres and stadiums and hopefully swim

Hi everyone, hope you’re all travelling OK. I posted a few weeks ago about a blood clot found in my hand. Just wanted to let you all know that the conservative treatment prescribed by my doctors has worked. I had a follow-up ultrasound this week, and the clot is gone! Hallelujah! No one has been able

hi everyone Strange query. I have a dear friend who doesn’t have an Mpn but is losing her hair in patches ( due to stress she thinks - husband has advanced Parkinson’s) She’s tried cortisone liquid to no avail. Has anyone found a cure for hair loss? Thanks so much Louise

I know that Hashimoto's is an autoimmune disease which can increase overall inflammation in the body. So does the systemic effects of Hashimoto's contribute to issues like hip bursitis in some individuals? I am very active and was exercising daily. I was lifting weights three times a week, biking,

Hi there. Just got over covid and waiting until next week when I start methotrexate and currently on nothing .

Hi all,I had my Shingrix vaccination on Thursday and the nurse did say to expect a bit of redness and swelling round the injection site. I didn't expect this though and it's grown in size each day!

Due to nephrotic syndrome caused by CLL, I had to take prednisone (corticosteroids) for three months, specifically 80mg. Has anyone been on cortisone for that long? Did it have many effects? Was weaning off very complicated? Thank you very much

Morning 😃. So Covid feels like a cold today after testing positive yesterday. I got a call from hospital today to say that they can offer me antivirals as I’ve had cortisone and depo and I’m at day 5 of symptoms as apparently these injections lower your immunity ? ( not on RA drugs yet ). Anyone come

Good morning. So I came off hydroxy last week after being told I now need to take metho on 17 October as an injection. I was given cortisone shot into knee and depo medrol into bum cheek last week.

Hi all. Well today I had my diagnosis which is I no longer have inflammatory arthritis. I now have RA. Knee swollen for 3.5 months, great service from NHS but a lot to take in. Knee aspirated and 25ml taken and had cortisone. I was genuinely expecting my knee to have deflated but I measured it when

Dear all, has anyone been taking venetoclax and gotten a kind of persistent expectoration and sometimes a cough, especially at night? I still haven't figured out if it's related to the venetoclax or the cortisone I'm taking because of my kidneys. Thank you and kind regards.

About 6-7 years ago, I was finally diagnosed with RLS, and given a medication that I can't recall the exact name of, but it was something like lebadopa carbadopa??
