doubling Pred dose 60 minutes prior to Dental surgery?
Hello all, I have learnt so much from reading the posts on this forum on a daily basis - 6 months from a PMR diagnosis I am beginning to get a grip on the endless complications. I would like to thank you for your patience and commitment to repeatedly answering questions from confused, anxious patients

hydroxychloroquine
I had been weaning off Prednisolone and my RA symptoms started to return. Consultant had hoped the methotrexate on its own (just with ibuprofen/naproxen/paracetamol as needed) would be enough but it isn’t. I started 2x200mg daily hydroxychloroquine this week. I have been told it can take 6 weeks to

steroid card
Hiya. I have been switched to Fostair 200/6 2 puffs twice daily. I’ve also had 3 courses of prednisolone in the past year. My doctor said I needed to get a steroid card from the pharmacist, which I duly did but when I had my asthma review the nurse said it wasn’t necessary. Does anyone know the rules

More drugs!
Some of you will know we moved from Cornwall to the Bristol area which obviously meant registering with a new doctors surgery. I’ve been about three times and you can never see the same doctor even though they say make an appointment to see me after your blood test. Anyway the last time I went was partly

Prednisone and infections
It seems like I've had a rash of infections - tooth, UTIs, etc since being on
Prednisone
. Is this a known predisposition of
Prednisone
?

Liothyronine Trial
I saw an NHS Endocrinologist last week who has agreed to my request for a 3 month trial of Liothyronine, something I have wanted for many years. The suggestion is to drop from 75mcg levothyroxine daily to 25mcg and to take 5mcg of T3 in the morning and again at lunchtime. After nearly 20 years on Levo

Des Oxynorm work for Pmr
I was diagnosed with pmr in 2020 and have been on Prednisolone since then although l am down to 5mg now l cant get beyond that due to flares. My doctor has said it would be good for me to still come off gradually with the help of Oxynorm to control pain. I am a bit worried about doing this as l might

Test results: what is going on? Longish post and history
I had to take
prednisone
for the
inflammation.
How do I feel? Hopeful.
[u]Biggest question though is should I up the dose of liothyronine? The new GP said she would increase the dose of thyroxine if it looks like the 150 mcg dose is insufficient.

How medical training works
Obviously people who’ve worked in medicine or allied fields know this but that leaves a lot of people who don’t and might be interested. Keep it simple and deal with what used to be called the Big Five, the London teaching-hospitals, Guy’s, Tommy’s etc. They have large numbers of Consultants in each

High BP, meds don't work
On
prednisone
and a drug called Actemra, a monthly infusion. I missed my treatment last month of Actemra, and went without it. Blood pressure did not improve so do not think the Actemra is the cause. My blood work and urine tests show blood and protein in both blood work and urine.
