Feels like torn muscle at 2mg of pred
Hello forum friends, I have had PMR for 2 and a half years, I am now 53 years old and am moderately active. I have been on the journey of ‘dead slow’ tapering from 2.5mg to 2mg over the last 4 weeks. I currently feel like I have a torn muscle in the top of my right arm. I don’t think I did anything

Atopic eczema
I was diagnosed with IBS C and then SIBO but I do not have slow transit of food from my stomach (imaging using isotope). I try to keep with low FODMAP diet and recently seem to be managing a little better - haven’t used docusate laxative for maybe 6 weeks. Frequently I will have a day of very little

The Queen is ready!
Hi everyone. It has been a while but I'm still here just haven't had time to get on and make a post. My latest thing is a few weeks ago I found out my parathyroid is acting up so the doctor put me on cincalet to see if it will help me. He did mention that surgery may have to happen if it doesn't adjust

Von Hippel Lindau Syndrome

Home dialysis concerns
My husband was diagnosed with end stage renal failure in May 2024. He was going to a dialysis clinic 3 times a week for his treatments. Last week we started the home dialysis training process. As the caregiver I’m really nervous about this, afraid I may be able to do it or may harm my husband during

Questions to ask at first Hepatology appointment
Hello all,I finally have my first Hepatology clinic appointment this week.

On to my next question - Prior to the synacthen test I got down to 5mg pred but the last 3 weeks I had been feeling as though 5mg wasn't enough. I'd had several bouts of S&D, also fatigued by the heat..I thought it may have been

Prayers needed
My aunt has just been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. She's already lost a kidney and was widowed 13 months ago. She's a wonderful woman who has kept smiling and remained good-humored through everything, but how much can one person take? Her husband was my late father's little brother and my last

Back on Haemodialysis
Well that moment has happened. I am back on dialysis. I have been so lucky. I am 29 years and 3 months transplanted. I have been declining with stage 5 CKD over the last couple of years. Originally I had atypical HUS which caused my kidney failure. I had my catheter put in yesterday and haemodialysis

2 spots
I was undetected for a year after pelvic radiation then my PSA went up to .04 so we did a PSMA scan and discovered 2 spots, although one was on a rib. My PSA was .36 so the spots were radiated. I am having a slight pain in the area where the rib is located. My PSA has gone down to .26 so it’s moving
