Medrol
I saw my rheumy this week and she prescribed medrol (4mg strength) to replace the prednisone, the reason being that the medrol tablet has 2 crosses making it easier to divide in 1mg than pred (We only get 5mg pred in my country). Does anybody have experience of medrol?

Have I developed "doctor phobia" or what...?!
Today I saw my new GP for a follow-up visit. My old one moved away and I stopped going to the practice for no particular reason. On Sept 6, during my first visit since July '17, my BP was slightly raised (170/92, heart rate 90). I was put on perindopril 5 mg daily and told to come back today. Interestingly

High blood pressure...would appreciate input!
I just had my third GP appointment in less than three weeks. I've had high blood pressure for years. It was first discovered back in 2000 when I was diagnosed with Hashimoto's. I was then told it would normalise once my TSH normalised on levothyroxine. However, it never fully has so, back in 2013, I

2 days after period...?
Hello, I'm new here :) I'm looking to see if anyone has similar pain. My pain is very regular 2 days after bleeding stops and always in the same place (pain feels around 3cm big), bottom right abdomen. The pain is very strong dull ache which can last hours if I don't take pain killers. What's quite

Could this be related to depo?
Since the beginning of July 2019 I have been through daily phases of very deep, un-ignorable lower abdomen and lower back pain. Very rarely does it reach above my belly button but it isn’t accompanied by any other symptoms apart from nausea and light headedness. It subsides with small amounts of bland

IM depo medrone
Hooray, I’ve finally had my depo medrone injection today! The Rheumatologist is 50/50 as to whether it will help as I don’t have an official diagnosis....this is almost like a test to see if it helps. But I’m trying to remain optimistic! I just wondered how long it normally takes to notice relief? My

Overactive bladder treatment
Since radiation and chemo treatment I have an overactive bladder. My oncologist put me on oxybutynin about a year ago, but this had little impact and a few negative side effects for me. I go back to my oncologist on Friday, so am willing to try again. Any suggestions. I read there are a range of alternatives

How strong is a Depo Medrone injection does anybody know?
In March I had my first long-lasting Depo Medrone steroid injection (standard dose 40mg per mil x 3 = 120). It worked very well and wore off after about 3 months. Rheumatologist said it was the equivalent of about 4 mg Pred per day and would last 6 months. I just had another injection two weeks ago

Question about MRI
Hi to you all I’m very confused about my MRI results from last week. I had an MRI last September and then had a suspected relapse in December. I was pretty ill and had weakness and pain in one of my arms. My neuro, an MS specialist, gave me a 5 day course of Solumedrol (which gave me some cardiac issues

How can I stop my period
I’m on week three of my period!!! Last August I decided to stop getting the depo-provera shot as I’m now in a good spot for my life to start settling down and will want kids within the next two years! I was on the depo for 9 years so didn’t have to worry about a period through those years. The last

Has anyone else had this issue with the Depo-Provera?
After I had my depo injection, I’ve had a lot of issues with my bladder having to go for a wee loads and in alot of pain? Ive has many wee samples checked and sent away which has all come back negative. It’s affecting the pain in my lower stomach area as well. Is this a normal side affect?

Hashi's & Contraception Injection
Hi Everyone, I have hashi's and currently take the depo Provera contraceptive injection. I was recently told the injection stops the pituitary gland producing hormones and therefore you don't release an egg. With the pituitary connection I wondered if this will have an effect on my Hashi's? Does anyone

Balance Issues
Hello all! I have RRMS and had my last relapse in December. My symptoms have gotten much worse over the past year. I had a course of solumedrol in December and I started Ocrevus in February. After getting over the flu like symptoms from the two half doses I have returned to “baseline.” The only issue

Flare on Actemra
I’ve had monthly Actemra infusions since December and added leflunomide in February for primary diagnosis of PMR, secondary RA due to positive CCP test. (I was misdiagnosed as RA only for 2 years, finally figured out a year ago, so a 3 year journey thus far. Enbrel, Humira and Orencia were all ineffective

I finished it!
After my last post while going through solumedrol treatments, I promised a more positive post this time. I finally finished crocheting the blanket that would not be completed. Tracking the butterflies down took longer than crocheting the actual blanket.

M-Day! 😬
I gave myself a ‘sharp scratch’ with the pointy end of the Metoject Pen this morning, overseen by a gleeful husband waiting for the blood curdling scream 😱. What an anti-climax! I didn’t feel a thing & frantically looked around to find out where the orange liquid had gone! If anyone is new to the injections
