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.

5/25 update on Zytiga failed
To review, after 19 months on Lupron, Zytiga,
prednisone
, PSA increased on 1/23 to 0.253, then 0.309 on 2/21. Plarify scan showed only one active site in hip which was radiated. 4/4 PSA dropped to 0.24 which indicated the lesion was knocked out and I would be hormone sensitive and stay on Zytiga.

Asthma attack from air freshener at work
I had an asthma attack caused by a strong plug-in air freshener at work (which the manager refused to turn off despite me pleading with her) and had to go home as I couldn’t breathe & a very tight chest pain, GP prescribed Prednisolone and issued a sick note for 7 days but still chest pain and another

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

Different brands of prednisone
Hi everyone, Is there any reason I should be concerned about different brands of
prednisone
not being made properly or consistently, or acting differently because they were not made the same way? (Generic versions, for example.)

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!

Timing of Dexamethasone
I've been on ADT since 2017 and approximately 3 years ago I switched from
prednisone
to .5mg dexamethasone daily with morning meal. I have been having periods of infrequent lightheadedness. I have been through a series of tests and my pcp cannot determine the source.

Cortisol serum blood test results, are they normal?
I’m sorry if this information is readily available on Q and A but I have been a headless chicken since being told I had an enlarged pituitary gland three weeks ago. So I am turning to my lovely caring supportive informed friends on this forum for information I can understand. The Endocrinologist has

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

How long on Prostap?
I was diagnosed in January2021 with PC. Gleeson 4+3 but PSA only ever up to 10. I have had four PSMA scans which show 8 metastases in skull, ribs, pubic bone, hip bone. These continue to grow. I have been on Aberiterone/prednisolone, plus Prostap every 3 months. I have growing levels of bone pain (

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.
