How quickly did it take depo-medrone steroid injection to work for your Lupus swelling?
I had a depo-medrone systemic injection for my lupus swelling. I was advised it should take effect 1-2 days, unless I misunderstood. I would be so grateful to know how long this steroid has taken for others to reduce the inflammation.

Depo-provera pros and cons
Hi all, I’ve had a consultation this morning and my consultant has suggested depo injections. I have the mirena coil fitted but still getting a lot of symps - including sickness/nausea and huge hormonal imbalances. Has anyone else had the depo injections? Pros? Cons? Thanks all!

DepoProvera for Lupron SEs--many questions
On my MO's recommendation, I've started DepoProvera [DP] injections to combat serious sleep deprivation and other side-effects of Lupron/Zytiga. So far, I've had 3 shots, roughly a month apart. It really helps! But I'm concerned about using this drug, and my MO is basically ignoring my questions about

Your experiences?
Hi all, I’ve recently had an MRI that revealed adenomyosis and endo in the pouch of Douglas. I’m currently on the Cerelle mini pill, which hasn’t been helping. My endo specialist has given me three options to move forward, and I’d be interested to hear from anyone who has tried any of these and how

I've lost all hope.
I am so fed up and at the end of my rope. I have been trying to get treatment for over five years now. There have been several GPs (due to the first one leaving the practice and Covid necessitating using who you are given). There have been several gynaecologists and scans. I get told one thing and

Depo-Provera Pros & Cons
My MO is suggesting Depo-Provera in response to my complaints about Lupron SEs. I'm a bit reluctant to take yet another 3-month shot, that can't be undone if I don't do well with its SEs . If you've tried it, what are your experiences?

Laparoscopy results found no endo - confused and feeling lost
Feeling pretty devastated to be honest. I really thought I was finally going to get an answer for my constant pain and since I had all the other symptoms related to endo (bowel and bladder) really thought that was going to be my answer. They showed the pictures from the lap and said everything looked

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

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

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

Not a question, more a sharing
Went to the Royal Free, Hampstead for scheduled appointment for PMR yesterday. I'm now nearly a year in from the initial diagnosis. Head of this department I originally saw privately. He gave me an injection of Depo-Medrone 120mg to see if my symptoms went away as a diagnostic tool. They did. Couldn't
