long awaited rheumy appointment
nearly a year, then appt just 15 minutes long…was booked as a 45 mins appt. Nobody went in before me, I was only one in waiting room, & I saw him go into his room 5 mins before my appt time. I then waited 35 minutes. He seemed angry because I’d been given a new patient appt when I’d been seen twice before

bombing a flare
When excruciating sciatica sent me to the emergency room several years ago, I was administered 20mg of dexamethasone (Decadron) to cut the rampant inflammation, which provided relief within an hour. That was followed by a Medrol pack for the next week and, with exercise, I got over the sciatica. Of course

Tachycardia?
As a follow-up to my last post about seasonal allergies and medication, my doctor gave me an injection of Decadron and

Medrol
(cortisone) for allergies.

Fell today. Flare or injury?
Tripped on little area rug and fell today. Landed on LEFT ribcage and upper back hip but 400 mgs Ibuprofen took care of pain. Also may have hurt RIGHT shoulder and upper arm which had already been symptomatic (and I raised medrol dose 5 mgs—didn’t help but doc doesn’t want me to add more.) It hurts

Ocrevus Infusion - First Time
I just completed my initial Ocrevus infusions - 1/2 dosage 15 days apart. Sharing my experience as I had a lot of questions and now I have some of the answers. I recommend taking whatever you need to be comfortable to the infusion center. I carried a bag with a healthy lunch, and mints in case I had

Tapering advice please.
Brief recap on me. In June this I year had 120mg Depo-medrone injection (for PMR), which was little short of miraculous, from private Rheumy who then wrote to my GP asking her to continue these on NHS. You bang your head against a brick wall at our surgery but I finally had another injection in September

Atypical PMG and Depo-Medrol
I have seen conflicting information about how long a shot of
Depo
-
Medrol
is usually effective for. Can anyone help on that? I don’t know whether 120 ml could have brought about such a great reduction in symptoms for so long.

RILP?
Anybody familiar with this complication of radiation therapy? I've been fighting with my left leg for the past 4 months with increasing loss of function. It started as a nightime drawing of my left leg across my body and has now progressed to paralysis of the quad muscles and I am now having to use

Can anyone who has experienced it please explain the difference between 'withdrawal pain' and return of symptoms when reducing Pred dose?
I am currently on a high dose of Pred (22 per day). I feel this is the bare minimum my body needs, and I actually possibly need more. If I take, say 22.5, I feel much better. I'd obviously like to reduce the dose if possible because of the side effects of Pred , but every time I go down to 21, even

From 4 mg of Prednisone to 240mg of Solumedrol.. in 30 hours....
I'm in the hospital contemplating the curses and blessings of prednisone and the whole family of steroids. I have chronic asthma and haven't had a severe asthma attack for 13 years. Who knows maybe all my prednisone was protecting me. I've been tapering slowly and last Wednesday had a routine visit and

Hot weather and Diarrhea TAPERING dilemna
In the three days of high heat temperatures in London last month I became ill with continual diarrhea. I wasn't eating much, I did take electrolytes, but it didn't dawn on me that my doses of preds (at the tail end of a taper from 8.5 to 8) were probably being washed away with digestive contents. So

PMR or Osteo Arthritis?
I wanted to update you on my recent additional health issues and ask if anyone has had experience of depo medrone injections. When I last posted I was having aches and stiffness in my shoulders,hands hips, knees and ankles. It is particularly bad after sleeping or sitting for a period of time. After

I suffer from Anxiety/Panic attacks
Hi I'm new, and I have terrible anxiety/ with a bit of panic that has started up again, it's hard to eat. I have this tightness in my ears that drives me nuts and the only thing I can think of is my 25 mg amitriptyline isn't working anymore. I asked my doctor to increase it 50 mg since I have had it

Dangers of treatment for mild symptoms
Hello all. My PET scan showed evidence of PMR and my rheumatologist wants me to go onto steroids although I have very little pain or stiffness at present. This is to guard against GCA. If I understood her correctly the options include local injections and Depo Medrone. The rheumatologist also mentioned

How long does a depo-medrone injection last
I had a steroid injection just over 8 weeks ago and feeling fantastic still! I usually only have relief for about 4 weeks, if anything, so does that mean my biologic might actually be working? I’ve been on Benepali since last December (alongside Sulfasalazine) and not seen any real improvement.

Depo v Zoladex?
Hi all, I’m 25 and have both endo & adeno (had my first lap in February).

Fragile skin on lower leg
Hi all, I have had PMR 8 years and am currently on 4/3 mg of Medrol. My skin on my legs from the knee down are very fragile and bruise and cut easily. I wear compression socks which helps but when taking them on and off I still bruise. I currently take 1000 mg of collagen. But I am wondering if there
