Biologics
Hi - following on from my previous posts, has anyone been rejected for biologics due to their inhaled steroid dose being high? I have Seretide 250mcg x2 puffs twice daily and pulmicort nebs 2mg twice daily. They’re saying the high doses of inhaled steroids are the cause of my infections, but I’m colonised

Med alert wording
I’m just starting a slow taper to 5.5mg prednisolone and aware my adrenals should be waking up but might not. I’m considering getting a medical alert bracelet but would appreciate advice on what wording I should have on it.

Frustrated with doctor
I went to my endocrinologist yesterday and asked for a cortisol test since I am on 11/2 of
prednisone
. She told me I have to be completely
prednisone
free for six weeks before the test “ can” be done. I have read on this site that others have had it. Very frustrating.

The ever elusive implantation bleeding?? 👻😳🤔💭
Hi folks, looking for some advice please. Currently 5dp5dt and it was a FET. I’m on oestrogen patches and pills (4 a day), as well as 3 x progesterone pessaries a day, and prednisolone… so very well medicated! Well yesterday evening I had the faintest of light pink discharge and now this morning

Taper after 2 weeks of prednisolone?
Hello, just wondered if anyone know if I need to ask to taper down prednisolone after having 12 days of 30mg prednisolone? I did have a 2 day gap within this of no prednisolone. Am I right it’s only if you’ve had 14 days you need to taper? Thanks very much for any advice. Previously felt very grim after

anyone with Churg Strauss come off all medication?
hello I have a dilemma as I see 2 consultants from different hospitals- one is a rheumatologist from my local hospital and the other is a Vasculitis specialist from the rheumatology team at Manchester Royal. They both have very different opinions about whether I should come off my medication. I am

Relationship of PMR and Prednisone
Could the PRM disappear while still taking
prednisone
? If not, then
prednisone
(or tapering it) does, in fact, seem to cure PMR in some way. This would indicate that
Prednisone
doesn’t just mask the PMR symptoms. What am I missing?

Seronegative RA with OA in the Lumbar and Cervical Spine
I have a diagnosis of Seronegative Rheumatoid Arthritis with underlying Osteoarthritis in the lumbar and cervical spine. My question is one of exercise - The GP has made a referral to Physiotherapy - I'm expecting that this will take a while for an appointment to come through, in the meantime I'd love

Update on Tooth Extraction
Well!...... the remains of the tooth have gone and the whole experience has had some positives and some negatives!Let's start with negatives first:- - appointment start time...11.00am but actual start time.....12.05pm! Appointments were running way behind time. Not helpful when you're already feeling

The correct way to ween down on hydrocortisone? Advice please.
My last post was when I was just starting on 20mg of hydrocortisone changing from prednisolone and needed advice. Further down the line more advice needed please. On Monday I tested Covid ‘Positive’ I had avoided it since the first day that dreaded name was on everyone’s lips so it was a shock to find

Not a UTI
Thinking I had picked up a UTI (strange feeling in bladder area and frequent feeling of needing to urinate) I requested a urine test, which was done. The triage nurse at my surgery informed me that although it showed no infection there were in fact microscopic traces of blood in there, (which would be

First Rheumatology Appointment
I had my first rheumatology appointment today and I think it well unless any of you think otherwise as I wasn’t sure what to expect. I was diagnosed with PMR by GP at the end of June 2023 and successfully tapered from 15mg of Prednisolone to 10mg by the end of August however after three failed attempts

PREDNISOLONE and Methotrexate
hi, I’ve been on Pred for 15 months, gradually withdrawing. I got down to 3 mg and no further - a huge flair up. My rheumatologist has now suggested I take Methotrexate 20mg once a week, as well as increase Prednisolone to 10mg. Is anyone else on both these meds at the same time ? Has the Methotrexate
