Low blood sugar
Has anyone been experiencing blood sugar crashes at times. Recently I have been having low blood sugar attacks mostly at around 5.00 when I am doing my afternoon dog walk. It results in most hypo symptoms and a blood test showed my blood sugar down to 3.6 mml. I told the rheumatologist during my telephone

For Sue J
Hi Sue, I wonder if you would read over the post from Fingerandus. She had contacted me apart from this and had told me she was on a diuretic amongst other things. I wondered if you might pick up on the post and perhaps advise her but obviously you have not seen it. Good Wishes

Any advice on tapering prednisolone with Methotrexate and RoActemra?

High cholesterol
I have recently signed up the Our Future Health programme. I was invited along for a blood test and a finger prick cholesterol test. The cholesterol result came back as 10.14 and I was told to go to my GP. I had a cholesterol blood test at my doctors surgery in July and it came back as 6.1. I thought

Reducing Nifedipine dose for the warmer months?
I am on 20mg x 2 daily Nifedipine for secondary Raynauds, I started in the Autumn last year. I know I need to consult my Rheumatologist about this but wondered if others do the same ? Now the weather is warming up, I'm finding it's very easy to go into overheat mode, in that my hands start to swell

Awful Fibrillation
thanks all who have replied I have not seen a Cardiologist face to face for three years , just phone calls spasmodically. You cannot get to see a GP here in Bristol either The last call I was told I should up my Dosage of Bisoprolol to 15mg as my legs are retaining water and I am poor on balance .

PMR with type 2 diabetes
I had type two diabetes before I was diagnosed with PMR and I think this is why my GP wants me to get down as quickly as possible from prednisolone as it affects my blood sugar level. For the last three months I have been going up and down because I just cannot seem to get rid of the pain. I got as

Wasting—losing muscle mass
I have lost almost 30 lbs since Nov, but I recently learned only 11 pounds were fat. My lower arms and legs are skin and bone at 146 lbs. Am on diabetes meds, and just got off Mounjaro. I am tapering steroids (arms and legs good and bruised). But I understand steroids can cause wasting. Any

fast heart rate but normal blood pressure
hi there! My 69 yo mum has been in hospital for the last week as her heart rate is too fast (roughly 117) she had a bit of swelling too which is now going down thanks to a diuretic. Her BP and oxygen levels are normal but all the medication they’re giving her to reduce the heart rate is causing the heart

Prediabetes disgnosis
My AIC is at 6 which is borderline to diabetes. I am taking steps to modify my diet and lose the weight I gained during COVID and while on PRED. I tapered off PRED THIS June. I have a family history of diabetes so I am aware that while my siblings were diagnosed in their 50's I have postponed the problem

Rough in heat
My Fibromyalgia and neuropathy has been crazy lately. That happens for me when it gets hot. The burning sensation is annoying. My meds do help. But, what things do you do to help with the pain from the flareups?
