Shielding Query
Does whether you’re advised to shield or not depend on your RA diagnosis or the medications you take for it? I’m asking because I had a letter originally, then a letter telling me to ignore the first letter. I had to stop taking the usual DMARDS due to intolerances which just left me with my IM Depo-Medrone

Nasty side effects of 2nd Pfizer shot:
What I sent to CDC 03-19-2021 online via their VAERs form: Received 2nd Pfizer shot 2/25/2021. To stave off side effects, I took 2 Ibuprofen before bed. In the morning, I was more wobbly than usual, but could make it to the bathroom and return to bed. A couple of hours later I had chills, bladder was

Pred timing
Is it better to take Medrol at nighttime inside the time release capsules or in the morning? I had been taking at nighttime and after watching Dr Sarah Mackie’s recent lecture I have changed it to the morning. But am feeling stiffer and a bit more achy. She states that taking the prednisone in the morning

Officially tapering as of today~!
Sometimes I am confused as to whether this is attempt 3 or 4, I think it is 3. In July of 2020 I got down to 8 mg of Medrol but started having blurriness in my right eye so went back up to 16 mg per day. Since November 2020 I've been on 12 Medrol per day along with Actemra. I had mentioned in a post

More PT
Good morning to all my ms family. I pray everyone is doing as well as they can taming this monster named MS. I had a Neurologist appt Wednesday. I was having a little problem with major more than normal fatigue stopping my Gilyena to switch to Ocrevus. So he ordered a 3 day round of solumedrol and some

Out of Remission. Starting over...
Hi everyone, Unfortunately after three months of remission I had a very bad flareup. The week before my husband and I were leaving for Maine (Sept) I decided to get a flu shot. Four days later while in Maine I started not to feel well. The usual PMR symptoms. I had no medication with me. My doctor

Is copper coil a good method after depo provera?
I’ve had 2 depo provera shots and have recently become incredibly anxious and depressed (crying constantly for no real reason) which is really sad as I had been raving about the injection in the first 18 weeks. I’m looking into the copper coil as it has no hormones, can anyone recommend or let me know

Symptoms? Opinions/advice needed.
Hello, (Sorry for long post) I have been getting symptoms(?) for a while and was wondering if anyone had experienced the same and whether you had to push for further investigation. I have been to the doctor a couple of times for various symptoms who suggested I worried a lot and has booked me in for

Has anyone else noticed hormone requirement changing once you reach end-stage Hashimoto´s?
I expected to required T3 and T4 at this stage, but not only do I only seem to require T4, but also lower doses now than 20 years ago when I was diagnosed. Back then, an ultrasound showed my thyroid gland was of normal size, but that there was already extensive damage to the hormone-producing cells.

I paid the doctor....now for your input!
First let me say my laptop is in the shape...I’m not too fast on the Ipad! The rheumatologist told me today that he wants me to stay on Actemra for another month before tapering. AND....he is going to switch me from prednisolone (Been on —solone for 15 months) to prednisone per day for this coming

Taper?- small reductions but is in relapse or withdrawal ?
Dear PMR, Could I ask a question about dosage, tapering and possible relapse. My original symptoms were triggered, I think, a very, very bad chest infection 18 months ago where I was very ill for a month and a half. I appeared to recover, but then and after 8 months, these symptoms came about suddenly

Advice
I have had stomach pain for over a year, 9 months ago I asked if I could be tested with endometriosis. Two weeks ago I had an MRI scan. Yesterday I finally got my scan results, I have endometriosis, I have traces of it at the back of my womb and in a ligament that is connected to the sacrum. Just waiting

Depo-Medrone is done with me, but lasted almost a month
I had the Depo on 13th November and can officially say the positive effects have worn off. It is weird how you can feel the RA gradually taking over again. So back to stiffness and hand/wrist issues and the Metoject doesn't seem to help at all. 17.5ml not doing anything worthwhile and I am about to

So sleepy - since the Depo- steroid jab?
Not complaining. My wrist swelling is down and function is improved though not fully restored, I think there is damage, and morning stiffness and pain is gone (for now), since I had the Depo-Medrone jab. However, I am sleeping about 8 - 10 hrs! My usual is 6-8, so its a bit odd. The Methotrexate makes

Flare clinic - update, still not wearing flares though 😊
Thanks for all the positive support yesterday. It seems that Aberdeen RI, Rheumy dept have decided to re-organise how they see people. In addition to video and telephone consults, they are running 2 flare clinics a month. Good idea. Well organised. Not the doctor the letter indicated but one of my usual
