Advice on medication
Hi Everyone, I've been offered medication as an alternative to the mini pill as I've tried Noriday which caused floods, and Desogestrel makes me bleed constantly. Norethisterone and Provera have been mentioned but I don't know which one to go on. I'm a bit weary of Norethisterone as Noriday made me

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

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

I went from 1.01 THS to 7.5 after IVF cycle was this because the stimulation drugs? What to do next?
I’ve been taking levothyroxine since Dec 2021, trying to understand the right dose. Finally 75mg seems correct to keep my TSH under 2.5, the ideal range to conceive and stay pregnant. On 7th JulyJuly I was 1.01 then I had one IVF cycle. I took in August- prep month 10mg provera 9am and 10mg 10pm. This

Anyone not stopped bleeding during FET prep?
Hi gang, We’re currently prepping for another FET and have a situation I’ve not come across before. I took Provera to induce a bleed this time as there’s a shortage of Norethisterone which I usually use. Took forever for period to start, then started progynova on day 2. Usually during prep for a

As a follow-up to my last post about seasonal allergies and medication, my doctor gave me an injection of Decadron and Depo-Medrol (cortisone) for allergies. A couple days later while doing outdoor chores, I had a tachycardia event, rested, and had three more events in succession, the last lasting 15

Provera dosage
Hello everyone, I started Provera this morning and have a question about dosage. The IVF nurse sent me a document about the timeline of my treatment, but instead of Norethisterone as is on the doc, I’m using Provera before the stim phase. She did tell me about this change, but we didn’t talk about

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

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.

Atypical PMG and Depo-Medrol
My rheumatologist says that I possibly have atypical PMG. My symptoms at their worst have been relatively minor. In mid-March I had a 120 mg shot of Depo-Medrol. It reduced my symptoms to almost nothing. They have since returned to a slight extent but are very tolerable. The rheumatologist has ordered
