Steroid rash
I've been taking Prednisolone for a year and have developed a red itchy steroid rash on my face. Can it be managed naturally without running off to the surgery. I use make up when I go anywhere but I wonder if that irritates it further. I am reducing my Pred. but I'm on 9mg still.

Hello Again, I have only written once before ( my introduction ) where I confessed to being a tapering Idiot for speeding up the reduction way too fast. I blamed my inner 18 year old boy and his ridiculous optimism and devil may care attitude. I am a little bit like Billy Connelly as I wander off

Is it PMR?
Hi. Diagnosed with PMR several years ago and had flare ups along the way. GP trying to reduce prednisolone dosage again, currently about to go down to 8mg. which isn't touching the pain. However I'm now wondering if in fact I have fibromyalgia. I've been doing some research on Dr Google and have just

Polymyalgia and Fibromyalgia
I have been taking prednisolone for a long time for polymyalgia and GCA. The rheumatologist has decided to take me off prednisolone ( slowly reducing) and putting me on to methotrexate, as she said that prednisolone can affect my bones.Since I stopped taking prednisolone I have been getting all the symptoms

Fatigue !
Diagnosed with PMR in 2021, struggled like everyone and have now completely come off Prednisolone. I’m still getting days with hip and neck and shoulder pain but the worst is the fatigue. Some days I’m fine but mostly feel exhausted. Since stopping Pred my sleep isn’t good. Is it ok to have the occasional

Norovirus - does having PMR increase my risk?
I am currently on 5.5 mg prednisolone. The Care Home where I work part time has an outbreak of Norovirus with a lot of the residents and staff being infected, am I more at risk because of my PMR and steroid dependency?

I have had a flare of symptoms over past few days. I have had PMR for nine years and have seldom been below 5 mg of prednisolone. I have increased to 10 yesterday and today, how many days can I do this and be able to go back to 5 safely. I am going on a 10 day holiday on Wednesday so I want to feel

Covid and injections
I suffered from Covid over Christmas from the 16th to the 30th December. Up 'til now I have had all the injections on offer. I read Dorset Lady's post that we are going to be offered another injection in the spring. It has left me wondering whether I will need this or not in the circumstances. I

Prednisolone Reduction
Sorry but I am unable to find the very useful advice about reducing Prednisolone. My lovely lady GP has asked me to have blood tests roughly every 6 weeks and if they come back with my ESR levels in the normal range to reduce my Pred by 1 mg. So far so good but a week ago I reduced from 4 mg to 3mg and

Lercandipine 20mg and AFib
I was started on 10mg Lercandipine in the mornings by my Cardiologist about a year ago. I also take 15mg Bisoprol, 2.5mg Indapamide and 40 mg Olmesartan together with 60mg Edoxaban in the morning and 8mg Doxazosin at night. A week ago he changed my Lercandipine dosage to 20mg and to take it in the evening

Feeling dreadful but doc says results are fine!
Hi there, I was diagnosed with underactive thyroid back in July 2020. I was prescribed 25mg levothyroxine which was increased to 50mg after 6 months. Shortly after starting levothyroxine I started getting stiffness in my neck and shoulders along with pain in my hips and groin - the only way I can

Figuring things out - first year since diagnosis
Hi, I'm posting here as I don't know anyone in real life with lupus and have been struggling to work out what my expectations should be in terms of symptoms. I was diagnosed just over a year ago following about a year of strange symptoms - GI issues, weight loss, Raynaud's, mouth ulcers, hand and wrist

Is it absolutely necessary to take omeprazole before Prednisolone?
I am on my second round of Prednisolone and have been told by the doctor that I must take omeprazole as well even though I’ve got osteoporosis. I have always taken it an hour before breakfast then Pred with my breakfast but wondered how long before can I take omeprazole. For instance will it still work
