Living with PMR
I'm a 53 year old female suffering from PMR for a year and a half now. I am down to 6mg a day and feeling pretty good. I have learned when you go down in your dosage to do it real slow. I got very swollen and puffy in my face, tummy and back of the neck. I didn't even recognize myself. I have decreased

ANA used to be 1:1320 but is now negative. Thoughts?
Hi. I'm new here. Hope that explains the slightly long intro :). In 2014, my ANA was ~1:1320. I was diagnosed with ITP and SLE; I was in the ER 3 times and was found on at least four occasions to have severely low platelets (2-6 range). I was initially treated with prednisone, and, since it proved to

How much adrenal cortex is there in whole adrenal...?
Does anyone have any idea how much adrenal cortex whole adrenal approximately contains? I have been on 250 mg of adrenal cortex extract for the past year, after weaning off Medrol for adrenal fatigue, and have felt wonderful on it. But I have just started taking a supplement containing, among other things

Worse period pain after depo?
Hi. I know this is a UK board, but I have questions that you folks may can answer. In November of 2016, I started taking the depoprovera birth control shot that stops periods and ovulation. Previously suffering from depression, the depo magnified it ten fold and forced me onto Lexapro to treat it. In

Likely GCA but not yet diagnosed and scared to death!
The other difference is that unlike last time, I responded well to a shot of
Depo
-
Medrol
which improved the symptoms, albeit just for a few days. There are numerous reasons why steroids are dangerous for me but my rheumy decided I had to be put on 40mg daily while he organised a biopsy.

I'm a newbie here
Hi everyone, I'm new here. I found this forum whilst frantically searching for someone to talk to, someone who will listen instead of shutting off whenever I talk about my diagnosis. I'm 17 and got diagnosed with endometriosis in April of this year. I won't lie, it's been tough, as I'm sure everybody

Update
I think myself lucky to have an attentive rheumi team. I can ring and leave a message for the specialist nurses / consult or email them (handy if I've got significant changes I can photo), and within 3 working days they get back with feedback. On this occasion they are recommending depo-medrone 120mg

Contraceptive injection
Hi folks I've just come from seeing my doctor about how my endo pains are getting worse even though I'm the contraceptive pill. She mentioned that maybe it would be best to get them contraceptive injection Depo-Provera every 3 months in my back. I'm a bit sceptical and was wondering if any one has had

New to MSAA Community
Hello Everyone! I had been diagnosed with RRMS in 2009. Found out this past Thurs. it was wrong, actually PPMS. All these years of unnecessary DMT's, awful side effects and far too many infusions of Solumedrol. Be brave, power forward and as patients NEVER stop questioning your healthcare providers!
