Advice and help please
I have recently come off HRT (having tried several over the last 5 years), can this affect the thyroid? I have heard that progesterone and estrogen can cause an imbalance of the thyroid. I am on T4 and T3 still trial and error. Still have weight gain and numerous other symptoms. Taking Vit D, Selenium

Doctors solution to the swollen feet. Step one
He has asked me to stop the amlodipine 5mg that I take every day for high blood pressure. We are giving it a week and then I shall see him again and decide what to do. If this improves he will put me on a different BP tablet. Circulation is fine. Given me some cortisone cream for the rash on my legs

All about steroids
On the V-UK Facebook site there has been lots of discussion about Prednisolone and steroid reduction. Just a reminder that there is an excellent PDF containing everything, but everything, you could wish to know about cortisone (steroids) and corticosteroid therapies. Just visit the V-UK Useful Links

Massive fluid retention after injection of cortisone
Hi All. Has anyone else had lots of fluid retention, particularly in thighs and belly, after injection of Depo-Medrone (cortisone)? I had 120 mgs after crawling off to GP when my batteries had run down and blew up some days later. I'm on 7.5mgs daily but am waiting for hip replacement so am off everything

Does a cortisone shot in the knee help your whole body with RA symptoms, or is it just my medicine starting to help me?
I went to get my knee drained of fluid last week and the doctor also gave me a cortisone shot in the knee. That night I also started my first medicine for RA (hydroxychloroquine- was just diagnosed this month). The next morning I was completely symptom free and have been for a week now. I was wondering

Does amlodipine help with Raynauds symptoms? I do take blood pressure medicine Losartan but have been on for years might change meds.
Also, notice a fine rash on several toes as my feet warm up and have treated with cortisone and antifungal with no change for months. Is this just part of Raynaud's?
