IM steroid injection - when will it start working?
I recently got the IM depo medrone steroid injection into my left thigh to help with inflammation and pain for my possible RA. I would love to hear other people's experiences of it and the effects. It's been six days since I've had the injection, I've definitely noticed less stiffness and a bit less

Calendar blanks for tapering, if needed.
This may be old news to many but just in case~~ https://print-a-calendar.com/may-2020 You can advance and print whatever months you want. This is a link where you can print out blank calendar pages, which I definitely need to know how much Medrol to take when now that I'm doing the slooooooow taper~

Neurostimulator device for overactive bladder
My daughter was diagnosed with overactive bladder. It's an issue she's been struggling with for several years. She's tried several medications, including Detrol, but has not had much luck. Her urologist has suggested surgery for something called a neurostimulating device that's implanted in her lower

Methotrexate, steroids, COVID-19
Hi all, I'm UCTD, and for about five years, I've been a full dose (2 x daily) of hydroxychloroquine. I've been having a flair more or less since lock-down started. Normally when this happens, I get a Depo-Medrone injection (methylprednisolonen), which settles me down anywhere from a few months to a couple

Anyone having injections of Depo-Medrone instead of taking prednisolone orally to manage symptoms of PMR?
Anyone having injections of depo-Medrone instead of taking prednisolone by mouth for PMR symptoms? If so, do you prefer this method? How does it work?

Curly hair?
Right now, my memory is not my strong suit~~~but I think I have been on Actemra injections weekly for about three months for GCA, along with Medrol. My hair has gotten a bit thinner, not too bad, but quite curly, ringlets. I was just curious if anyone else had experienced this? Finally, yesterday I

Newly diagnosed after years of problems
Hi, everyone. I wanted to take a moment to introduce myself and share my story. I was diagnosed with FND just a few months ago after years of neurological problems. They first started in 2006 with pain, mostly in my back, then I started having bladder problems, a foot drop on the right, mild muscle

Ocrevus-where are you??
I received my 2 half doses of ocrevus in July and August. I was due for my first full dose yesterday. I didnât receive it because it was day four in the hospital. A month ago I started a relapse and it was discovered by an MRI that I have a new lesion growing in my thoracic. I did three doses of 1000

Help with hives
Hi, thyroid friends. I tried posting in the skin group but didnât get any replies. Since I know hives is linked to hypothyroidism/Hashimotoâs- I thought I might ask the group. I started noticing my chronic hives in November. I had never had them before and they happened to occur at a time when my TSH

Bruising
I have found 3 bruises ( 2 large) have appeared in the last 3 days without any recollection of any accident. I am on Hydroxychloroquine and Benepali. I did have an issue with easy bruising ( and very slow healing) which started when I had a depo medrone jab. It continued for the 6 months I was on Methotrexate

Got cortisol saliva test results back - would really appreciate feedback and advice from others!
I just got my test results back from Genova Diagnostics. I have to say they came as a complete surprise to me as I was convinced I had adrenal fatigue. I realise they are all out of range, but wonder how common this is in a person who 1. has been diagnosed with adrenal fatigue in the past and treated

Has anyone out there developed eczema out of the blue while dealing with PMR?
My second depo-medrone injection was Wednesday. Thursday morning I woke with a very itchy back, so bad I went straight to my GP. GP looked and said I had eczema. I have never had any skin conditions in all my long life. One more unbearable burden to deal with in an unbearable situation. Quite depressed

Dosage of Depo- medrol injection
Does anyone know what the equivalent oral dose of Pred. Is to a 40 mg depo- medrol injection? I am having yet another flare and usually this injection heads it off without my having to change my usual oral dose( 11 mgs). The first few days after the injection I was feeling much better but now seem to

Should I get a full body CT scan?
I initially thought to post this in an anxiety group but you guys have been really helpful and know about the wide range of Hashimotoâs symptoms. So I have a big fear of lymphoma- I think it started because my friendâs father and another friendâs mother were diagnosed within months of each other. One
