Hot flashes?
Am having ever more hot flashes and sweating around my neck over last several months. Could it be the steroids? In the distant past, was relying on welbutrin for depression but got hot flashes and changed to escatolepram. In the last few years I started taking a small dose of welbutrin in addition

Can you 'demand' Tocilizumab for GCA?
I was diagnosed with PMR in January 23, responded well to steroids (15mg) but quickly developed GCA symptoms (severe headache pain, blurred vision and jaw claudication) when these were reduced to 12.5mg after 3 weeks and 'normal' CRP/ESR tests. I was referred to Ambulatory care but an ultrasound showed

Tocilizumab
Hi. Has anyone had Tocilizumab injections for pmr? I've been looking at recent research which seems to suggest favourable outcomes for pmr sufferers who have problems tapering prednisolone.

length of time for biopsy results
Hi, had a partial lung lobectomy and lymph node removal, was told biopsy results would be back in 7-10 days. It’s now been 41 days and I’ve heard nothing. When I contact various people I’m just being told this length of timeframe is not uncommon.. this does not sound right to me… Anyone else had to wait

Women, ADHD Surgical menopause and memory loss
Hello, New to the forum and looking to learn more about the subject listed above. It seems that among the medical professionals I've seen ADD is overlooked, as is the impact of the loss of estrogen. I am scared that this is my new normal. I'm wondering. 1. Have any of you experienced worsening ADD

Update on my previous post trapped nerve and PMR.
After an MRI on my spine I do not have a trapped nerve in my back and my pain is two vertebrae bones crumbling. I have come to the conclusion that the pain in my back and bottom area is mainly my PMR flare, it is so bad I can't move without pain while in bed. Tried increasing my pred dosage from 6mg

Fantastic Book for PMR and GCA
On one of my earlier posts, a poster referred me to a book about PMR and GCA. My husband, 73 has been diagnosed with PMR. She recommended this book and it has been fantastic and eye opening and in many ways a Godsend, particularly for asking questions of the rheumatologist and his proactive GP who

Oopherectomy or Hysterectomy?
Hi everyone, I have been recently diagnosed with endometriosis and adenomyosis. I saw a gynaecologist at my local hospital who said my choices for treatment are either oopherectomy or abdominal hysterectomy as I've had 2 c-sections. There was no mention of a laparoscopy. I also have hypermobility (EDS

Allergic response to Nitrofuantoin
Two weeks ago I developed the urgency and heat associated with cystitis which rapidly developed into a UTI with blood and responded quickly to 3 days of Trimpethoprim which I was able to get without delay from my amazing GP surgery. All seemed fine until yesterday when the heat and urgency returned

Preventative ovary removal hereditary link
Just wondered if people on this site may have experience of family members deciding to have elective surgery for removal of their ovaries based on possible hereditary links of ovarian cancer. I myself have ovarian cancer, and my sister and cousin are considering surgery to reduce their risk. An aunt

Ovarian cyst query
Hi I had an MRI done recently for intermittent groin and hip pain. The hospital rang me to say that it showed that my ovary appears enlarged about 7x8cm. My doctor has ordered a CA125 and urgent ultrasound. Is this normal procedure? He also said I would need to have the ovary removed!! I am premenopausal

Do natural supplements work to reduce high cholesterol?
While strictly not a PMR issue I know there are a few whose cholesterol has risen markedly since being diagnosed. I am one of them. I have always had high-ish cholesterol but my last fasting blood test showed everything else perfectly normal but my cholesterol was up. I haven't seen the results
