Afib, inflammation and NSAIDs
I was awake in the early hours, brain active, and thinking about my inflammation issues. I have Afib, polymyalgia, giant cell arteritis, bursitis, arthritis, spondylitis, tendonitis, IBS etc. Is there a connection between Afib and inflammation? I am unable to take NSAIDs due to being on edoxaban.

Asthma and work .
Hi all , Just wondering if anyone else has been in the same position and if so what they did . I have been in job now for five years, they knew I had asthma when I started and it can have very badly behaved periods , like recently when i had to take two rescue packs of prednisolone 5mg for 5 days

Flare up.
I'm not sure if I'm having a flare up as I'm aching all over and feel so tired all the time . I was diagnosed with polymialgia rheumatica 2 years ago and prednisolone has helped me with my symptoms . I've never had a flare up before so not sure why I'm feeling like this. And advice from this wonderful

LDN and prednisone
From what I have read, I plan to take 1.25mg of LDN at night, and 10 mg
prednisone
in the morning, slowly working the LDN up to 4.5 and the
prednisone
down as reasonably quickly as I can without a flare. Has anyone tried a similar formula?

update on statins, Leflunomide & biphosphates
this is a good news story of me ready to charge at doors which gently and easily opened! Over the last 3 weeks I have spoken to and seen three medics who I expected to push me into drugs I didn’t want. Medic 1 - my GP who discussed statins, agreed my cholesterol was borderline and that statins were

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

Rituximab and hair loss
Hello, I've just had my first two doses of Rituximab in February, and I've been noticing more hair loss when I wash my hair. Has anyone had this, and do you have any remedies? I have fine hair too. I'm on a mix of methotrexate, prednisolone and hydroxychloroquine. Many thanks!

shoulder scan
hi. I’ve had pmr for nearly 10 years. I’ve been up and down prednisolone like a yo yo. Last year I got to my lowest dose of 3.5 mg, but then had relapse after relapse and at the end of the year was back at 10 mg. My doctor noticed I was overdue an appointment with rheumatology and I saw a new to me rheumatologist

wife of Long term PMR sufferer
Hello. I am not the one suffering from PMR. It is my husband. He is 59 and has had PMR since the summer of 2022. He started with symptoms after having Covid and had to do on 40mg prednisolone before he felt any benefit. He works full time as a sports coach in a school so has little time to rest.

PSA Climbing while on Zoladex and Abiraterone with Prednisone
Going to ask if i can switch the
prednisone
for dexamethasone. Not sure if they will approve it. I was scheduled to start Xgeva. As I have been diagnosed with osteoporosis due to having ADT since 2017. What other treatment should I look forward to having. Thanks Rick PSA is 4.66
