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

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 .

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.

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.

I've had rls since I was in my teens. I'm now 66 years old. 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?? Anyway, that worked very well for me at first, but after a few months it would

I started with an eczema in September 2023. This was the first time I ever had a skin problem. Between Sept to Dec we tried everything to understand why I had developed an eczema ..allergy tests, blood tests, ecographies of organs, colonoscopy, gastroscopy and skin biopsies...all results came back

Hi all, as some of you know, I had surgery in March this year for a hernia. Since then I have had horrible burning pain in my shoulder. It’s not getting better and painkillers don’t seem to touch it. In the past few weeks I’ve been back to the surgeon for MRI results on the shoulder and I’ve also seen

you may remember I had a hip problem started in January. After getting nowhere with the NHS let alone treatment I went private and following an mri which showed massive swelling in the synovial.

I recently asked my GP for a blood test for my Adrenalin levels as I didn’t feel a return of Adrenalin even though I am on a very low dose of steroids. It took 3 months to get the

As a complication to PMR I have now lumbar radiculopathy with pain and numbness in my legs. Still on cortisone after 6 years now 6.25 mg. But my slow tapering doesn’t seem to affect my lumbar pain and stiffness. Does anyone else here suffer from this condition??
