Adrenal Crisis or a Flare?
Evening all, I've been a casual observer for many months now - my PMR was 'gone' (ie in remission/on holiday/not troubling me) and I had adjusted to Adrenal Insufficiency and a likely permanent dose of Hydrocortisone and Vitamin D. I recovered from a dose of covid about 3 weeks ago. On Saturday afternoon

P.AFib and Covid
no doubt this question has been answered a few times but since showing positive with Covid this morning I have had two episodes close together which is unusual. Should I just go with them until my Covid test is negative and then see what happens? All your experiences will help me decide. Thank you.

thank you all for your responses on my last post. I am feeling better, but still congested. My boyfriend wants to come over but I’m so fearful I’ll get him sick, or that I actually have Covid and I’ll give it to him. I could go buy more Covid tests, but my friends told me that I shouldn’t because then

How effective is fenofibrate for itch?
My doctor suggested a few different drugs, like rifampricin, naltrexone, and fenofibrate for my itch. He prescribed fenofibrate as he thinks it works best. Does anyone here take it and if so, has it helped? I'm worried about the warnings it comes with about severe liver damage.

COPD and Pneumonia
Hello. My mom has severe COPD and got out of the hospital last week after a 3 week stay for pneumonia. She’s had COPD for 16 years and just went on O2 about a year ago.

treatment for thin lining?
Hello, I’ve got PCOS but ovulate and have an average cycle of 32 days. I’ve been told I have a thin lining 4-5mm. I saw a private dr who gave me cyclogest post ovulation and I’ve used it for two cycles, which have both resulted in a negative test. Does anyone know what the treatment is for a thin lining

TINGLY FEET
Has anyone on here experienced tingly feet during the night after having steroid injections in the knees. I had the injections in both of my knees for arthritis only four days ago.

My Grim anniversary, Vaccine Type and Timing
With multiple fall vaccines now in use it seems timely to share our experience and advice on the timing of them. This has been discussed briefly in various threads. I invite comments on the below: In the past there was just an annual flu shot and its timing was just "sometime in the fall". No other

covid?
I was really congested so I took a Covid test. Unsure if there’s a faint line in the first picture. I took another test and was negative. I’m supposed to see my boyfriend but I’m so worried. I don’t think I can handle isolation again. Do you see a faint line in the first test?

dengue fever vaccinate or not?
I started off on 15mg Pred in October and am now down to 10mg. I am off to India (Rajasthan) in February and dengue fever vaccine has been suggested. As it is a live vaccine I am not sure whether having the vaccine is worth the risk of contracting dengue. Any advice? Also big thanks to the community

Chondocalcitis incurable?
At least that's how I think it's spelt. It's a specialised form of RA and I have it in my left knee (along with normal RA in shoulders, elbows, wrists and fingers.It's also called Pseudogout but as the crystals in Chondocalcitis are calcium they can't be dispersed as the uric acid crystals in ordinary

prednisone and antibiotics
Has anyone had a problem with antibiotics wiping out prednisone. Was down to 2.5-lowest in 8 years. Took antibiotics (Bactrim) and all old PMR symptoms came back. Hurt all over. Read Bactrim and Cipro are quinolones and do not work well with Steroids. Neither Dr or pharmacist knew this. Not sure how

Everlasting Cold
I am on day 20 of this cold that just doesn’t seem to go away. Not Covid, grateful for that but the amount of mucus I produce is never ending. Not running a fever but just tired of the congestion and coughing. Is there any use in seeing my doctor considering I am probably just dealing with an ordinary

Well, the Public Enquiry is throwing up some interesting evidence. By definition, most of us with CLL are over 60 (not all, I know) and we are classed, whatever our age, as clinically extremely vulnerable. Our Government is reported as having said, according to Sir Patrick Vallance, "The PM says
