Curious about thin-skinned ears---Prednisone?
Does anyone else have issues with the edges of their ears getting raw? My pillowcases are quite smooth, and periodically, I have a problem with the edges of my ear bleeding and must keep it covered while I sleep until it heals. I deal with it, heal it, and I'm fine. Then in a few months...I hop on

Avacopan side effects
Hi All, Could anyone please tell me if they are suffering from any Avacopan side effects, I’m off prednisone now and purely on Avacopan but getting lots of headaches, tiredness and my eyes are so sore. My cough also hasn’t alleviated which is annoying. Many thanks, Wishing you well, Robert

Dexa results
I have just received my dexa results after a year on Prednisolone and Risedronate. Lumber spine is normal, but left hip and left neck of femur ( they only scanned the left) show Osteopenia. I understand what T scores and Z scores are, but I got three figures for each site, and I wondered if anyone knows

Hospital and large doses of Prednisone??
During my first visit with Rheumatologist, I asked how to handle symptoms if they returned during tapering. I suggested that I go back to the last dosage that worked plus some, as I have read here. She said no, that I should go to Emergency at the hospital with the thought that they would inject me with

retiring: Anti-Rejection Megication Questions
I’m retiring on July 3, 2024. This means I’ll no longer be forced to use CVS Specialty to receive my anti-rejection meds. Frankly, I’ve had a lot of trouble with them. Two questions: 1. If you are willing, please share information about which prescription medication insurance plan you are using in

State of the NHS
I’m posting this just to highlight the difficulties the NHS is in at the moment, I’m a 75 year old asthmaric and have had a cold and chesty cough for nearly 3 weeks. I finally decided this wasn’t going to clear up by itself. There was no way I was going to get an appointment with my GP any time soon.

How can I tell when adrenals are coming back?
This line from DL's editing of a crucial post in the FAQ is cheering: . "In almost every patient the adrenal gland starts functioning again when cortisone is tapered, it just needs time." Got it. But are there symptoms that suggest the glands are waking up? After 15 months I am at 5.5mg of prednisone

taking prednisone
Hi, sorry another question. Being on 25 mg daily now the chemist said to take all the tablets at the same time in the morning . As that was the the best way for tablets to work. I tried that and had the most horrendous reaction. Later in the afternoon, felt I had a “rush “ and felt immediately extremely

CBD drops for RA pain
I take 100mcg levothyroxine at approx. 6am daily . At 4pm today I took half a pipette of over the counter CBD Oil which had the immediate effect of raising my heartbeat just as I used to experience when at the dentist I received injections for anasthaesia which contained adrenalin .( I now know to

Just starting the journey…..
Hi All, I have recently been diagnosed with GCA, at least that’s what I am now being treated for. My story started in early Dec 2023. I am a very active 60 yr old, previously doing triathlons, still cycling, swimming, walking etc. The first symptom I experienced was excruciating pain in my hip flexor

6 MONTH PMR UPDATE
My last update was 6 months ago. Since then, I have tapered 100% off of prednisone. My inflammation markers have normalized. I have been turned over to my primary care provider from Rheumatology. I have went back to work part-time without issue. Despite my theory it was my infected tooth that caused

Post Operative Steroids
I am now home after having a new knee fitted. They kept me in an extra night due to being in surgery much longer than anticipated and low sodium levels, so saline drip overnight. I am guessing I was given more anaesthesia than planned, I am finding that I am more tired than I've ever felt. I can

? Cover required for endometrial biopsy
I have been on prednisolone for over 2 years now and still on 10mg. I have a hysteroscopy and endometrial biopsy planned tomorrow and although this is only a minor procedure with no general anaesthetic or sedation, I’m just wondering whether I will need any extra steroid cover? Does anyone have any knowledge

GCA flares and eyesight
Thank you to everybody on this site – I have found it very helpful. I was diagnosed with GCA in September. I have to say my GP and Bath Hospital were excellent though it was a shock. My sight tested OK in the Eye Clinic. I started on 60 prednisolone reducing, and I am coping quite well, but I am paranoid

max inhaler dose?
Hi everyone. I saw the hospital respiratory team about a month ago, who said that it is ok to take 5 puffs rather than the suggested max 4 puffs Fostair 200/6, as a kind of last resort before prednisolone. I’ve taken a lot of steroids this year and am trying to reduce the number of courses. However,
