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

Update on LDN
My second hope is that I can eventually stay on a maintenance dose of LDN instead of
prednisone
. Whereas
prednisone
does the job on PMR, it suppresses the immune system and comes with negative side effects.

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

Update: Arrived at 4.5 mg & staying for awhile!
I started taking 40 mg of
Prednisone
in late May 2021, so I've been taking
Prednisone
for 23 months so far. I started having symptoms in early January 2021. I feel lucky to be at this stage after 2 years, although, like many on here, I was told by a GP that it would go into remission in one year!

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

persistent oral thrush

Oral Thrush that does not go away
I am at a low dose
prednisone
of 3 mg. Have taken all sugar out of my diet. Has anyone else had this problem? Should I begin taking methotrexate which my rheumatologist has suggested but respects my decision to stay on hydroxy. Maybe take it every other day? Any advice is welcome. MrsMarigold

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

Another Cialis Question
After some ups and downs with his liver values, he is currently taking Orgovyx, Abiraterone, and
Prednisone
. PSA and T are undetectable, and he is doing as well as can be expected. Now, my husband is in “cruise control” mode (his MO’s words).

stopping steroids
I have been on 1mg prednisolone for three months now. Advice would be nice from you the people who have helped me through these last six years. I am quite happy to continue to take the 1 mg but what are the chances of me stopping the pred and having to go back up to a higher dose? Thank you for any

F4: cirrhosis
I was first told that I had Autoimmune Hepatitis after my Fibro scan results and that I needed to start treatment with Imuran and
prednisone
. GI dr said that if treatment didn't work I would be put on a liver transplant list. She then said. "I'm sorry".
