Guttate psoriasis
Anyone else out there with this issue ? I've had it for about a year. I have both cll and et(essential thrombocytosis-high platelets) and am on Hydroxyurea. I don't know if this kind of chemo is making it worse or what. I have read that this type of psoriasis could be a streptococcal thing. My GP has

One Bad Night
Last night was probably one of the worst nights I've had. My hands and feet started to itch as always. Then my feet started to swell. I put cortisone in it, sometimes it helps me. But no luck last night. I put calamine on it. That didn't help. I truly tried not to scratch but I couldn't help it

Cortisone Inj in Dx of Fibromyalgia
Question- I'm currently in process of dx. Pain most of my life, more now as I age. Rheum gave me cortisone shots in my bottom as dx tool. Feeling much better. Is this common to have systemic relief this way. I'm curious as to why she gave me the shots as a diagnostic too. I don't fit the typical scenario

Cortisone injection
So I'm wondering what sort of response anyone has to extra-articular steroid injection. I had an acute bout of bursitis a few weeks back. I had an injection ( not in the joint) of depomedrol and lidocaine. I had so little change in my pain level that I went to ER. Toradol injection, naproxen and a sling

I would like to share with you my story.
This is my story of how I changing and changed my life. All my life I was thin, until I had a pituitary tumor, I was put on hydro cortisone tablets which was at a high dose, and my weight shot up, any and little confidence I had just disappeared, I gave up on everything, leading to depression. Last

Ruxolitinib & GvHD
I've been on higher doses of cortisone the last month or so to get over a chronic GvHD in my liver, after initial improvement things have regressed, my consultant is seriously considering replacing the corticoid by Jakavi (Ruxolitinib). I'd never heard of Ruxo being used like this, anyone have any feedback

Polymyalgia Rheumatica - and Me
