GCA, Adrenal Insufficiency, and an Ice Cream Head.
I am 83 and was diagnozed with GCA in October 2019. I finished the course of prednisolone on the April 2021 without having had a flare up. In early January 2021 I had a successful left knee replacement. Unfortunately, no provision was made for my GCA during, or after, the major surgery. For 3 weeks

Hello All. I live in The US and was hoping for some help on my blood work. I am seeing a functional practitioner for my Hashimoto but had to find another practitioner because I moved. She changed my medication to 25 mcg of Cytomel and 60 mcg NP thyroid. I am taking 10,000 IU D3, 450 mg Magnesium, 1000

Tuberculosis is the forgotten pandemic relying on a 100-year-old vaccine.
By some estimates, 2 billion people are now infected worldwide, and in 2019, around 1.4 million people died from it. It’s a pandemic infection, spread through the air — but it’s not COVID. It’s tuberculosis (or TB). Yet we’re not in lockdown for it. And we’re not queuing up for a vaccine. Some people

CMA slaps pharma firms with £260m in fines for hiking prices for NHS for hydrocortisone tablets.
This is about hiking the price of 'life saving' hydrocortisone tablets by over 10,000 per cent. Interestingly the two companies named here are Accored and Auden McKenzie which operated under the name Actavis UK in 2015. (Actavis UK was then bought by Accord Healthcare). The watchdog boss says, 'Our

Britain fines drug firms after steroid price for NHS rises over 10,000%
Britain's competition regulator has fined more than 10 drug firms a record combined 260 million pounds ($360 million) for overcharging the National Health Service (NHS) for a steroid which rose from 70p to 88 pounds a pack in under eight years. The Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) said on Thursday

UK drug companies fined £260m for inflating prices for NHS
First thing to note - this covers hydrocortisone - NOT liothyronine. However, the basis of de-branding, at least superficially, is extremely close to the liothyronine issues. Whilst £260 million is a lot of money - the NHS was over-paying by up to £80 million each year. I wonder how the totals costs

Anyone else had a smooth tongue and sore feeling inside of mouth?

Wasp stings and PMR?
Well I’ll be everyone’s guinea pig with regards to wasp stings. This afternoon accidentally disturbed a hidden yellow jacket’s nest. Got stung 7 times before getting out of range. Above my lip, on my right thumb, three on my left bicep, one on my left tricep and one on my left side. Did all the usual

Sed rate has sky rocketed to an all out high
So my last sed rate was normal 3 months ago. And this time I asked my rheumatologist to check my sed rate and my CRP. The only results I've got back so far is my sed rate and it's 89! Normally it shouldn't be higher then 39. This is the highness it's ever been even at the beginning of my PMR diagnosis

Scientists Discover a Surprising New Way that Tuberculosis Suppresses Immunity
When Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb), the bacterium that causes tuberculosis, infects a person, the body’s immune response is critical to how the disease will progress—either helping the body fight the bacterium or exacerbating the infection.

Anyone got experience of rosacea versus lupus?
Hi, since 2018, after taking a brief course of steroids, I have suffered with a facial rash. Initially I had it round my eyes (under brow, and under eye) down my cheeks, round my collarbone and on my nipple. I also had a small flare of it on my belly button. It was treated with hydrocortisone cream,

Follow up
So, just a follow up from my post 3 days ago. I continued to struggle so yesterday I went to A&E. I was very reluctant, as I've never done this before. I shouldn't have worried, as I received amazing care. I was seen immediately, with no waiting at all. I had several meds, including nebs and hydrocortisone

Zytiga with Dexamethasone or with Hydrocortisone?
Hello, I really appreciate your continuous sharing and supports since I joint this forum. We have many worries that we don't know who to ask, so we'll bother you again. The question is: My father should keep using 1000 mg zytiga + 0.5mg dexamethasone or switch from 0.5mg Dex to 30mg hydrocortisone. As

Zytiga with hydrocortison

His doctor asked him take Hydrocortisone 30mg/day (20mg in the morning and 10mg in the afternoon,) instead of Prednisone 10mg prescribed before. However, there is no info when

Long-term balanitis and regrets after biopsy
Hi all, I am 32 and I have balanitis (some inflamation only on the glans) for 5 or slightly more years. I am uncut. And things have always been alright for me. When it appeared for the first time I did all the possible test - everything was ok. At that point back then my immunologist and my urologist
