Tapering
Just a quick question about tapering Prednisolone. I have had GCA since Aug 22. Have tapered down to 5mg but had the beginnings of a flare. My rheumatologist told me to go up to 7.5mg. The flare abated. I then got an infection/virus and on the advice of the rheumatology nurses increased to 10mg for a

Aortitis
I was diagnosed with non cranial Giant Cell Arteritis in September last year. So far I haven't managed to find anyone else with this condition because most people have the temporal version with the headaches.Mine is Aortitis which apparently is rare. I'd love to share experiences with someone else

Dating and kissing for young adults with kidney transplant
Please answer only if you have gone through the same situation. How do you do to avoid rejection when meeting a potential romantic partner? I wear a mask in closed public places. All women I met when they know that I have a kidney transplant start to keep distance and do not give me a chance to

How often to Self Inject
Hello all. I was just wondering what you all think about how often we should inject with Vit B12. I had been taking shots since about last Dec of 22, but even though it helped, didn't help much. So after finally being diagnosed with PA, I told my wife to inject me every day for 30 days to sort of give

Should I switch SSRIs?
Hi all, I’ve been on sertraline for around 14 years on varying dosages. Most recently I was on 150mg, but over the past few weeks I’ve been coming down and I’m now on 50mg, in preparation for a switch to Paroxetine. I take sertraline as I was originally diagnosed with OCD and also had an eating disorder

Nothing like when they were at their worst when I was younger, but boy do they wake me up, when my sleep is pretty poor anyway, since the

angry about kidney transplant?
I received a kidney transplant about a year ago. I was donated a live one. However, I was very uncertain about transplant, and feel like I was pushed into having one due to other people’s insistence, amongst other things. As such, I am very resentful and angry. additionally, everyone treats my donor

AF Medications
I have had AF for a few months now, I have also attended A & E four times recently with palpations and chest pains. Each time they have given me either, sometimes both, potassium or magnesium intravenously. I have also had a kidney transplant (4 years ago). They cannot give me any more medication

Charity request for help: GCA patients in England
Dear members with GCA, as you may be aware, NICE and NHS England don't currently allow repeat treatment with tocilizumab for GCA patients who relapse. This means that if you live in England and you've had a year's treatment with tocilizumab, you won't be prescribed it again. However, a recent study
