Medicines and dementia risk
Hello. I'm 64 years old with a painful back problem (lumbar spinal stenosis, spondylosis and spondylolisthesis). While I wait for an appointment at the Pain Clinic, I was recommended by the musculoskeletal specialist to try a drug called gabapentin. My doctor put me on another from this group of drugs

PMR & Stage II Polycystic Kidneys
PCP determined PMR based on my “tinman stiffness” and bloodwork showing crazy inflammation levels in late January, and started me on 20 mg of
prednisone
. An ultrasound and xray turned up polycystic kidneys with a too-large to pass stones.

Could be some positivity for frequent UTI sufferers.
Good morning folks. Just entering the fourth year since my GCA diagnosis and having suffered around 17 UTI's in that time (hospitalised with two) along with constant symptoms in between, I've swallowed tons of D-Mannose, cranberry supplements, given up caffeine, artificial sweeteners, used vaginal pessaries

11dp5dt bfp but spotting
Hi looking for reassurance or anyone with a similar story. I’m currently 11dp5dt and have had positive tests since day 5 which I’m very happy about.

Side effect of prednisolone
The end of last Nov/Dec last year I had to take a long course of prednisolone over 2 weeks. Then a reducing dose back down to zero. Nine days ago I had a blood test to check my blood sugar. It came back a little raised. This I was told wasn't too concerning as I had been on steriods. This test will

which diuretic with prednisolone?
I posted a while ago about diuretics - thanks for the responses. Mum was put on furosemide which worked for the odema, but within a week had diarrhoea which meant it was stopped and we ended up with a bad uti with haemorrhage due to the diarrhoea…… It may have been the furosemide causing the diarrhoea

Best time to take Prednisone
I heard PMRPro write that there is a best time to take the
prednisone
to help the adrenals wake up. I am at 4.5 mg now and taking it at 4 am has made all the difference --- no more headaches during tapering. But I am very interested in helping my adrenals wake up. Thank you all in advance.

Experience and honest opinions of EMMA, ERA and ALICE tests and karyotype please
Hi, after multiple IVF failures the latest two with PGTA tested euploid embryos, I had another hysteroscopy, curettage and culture and sensitivity procedure yesterday. The consultant said everything looked healthy and normal but I have to wait a week or two for the biopsy report. My tubes were both

Can PMR effect hip, pelvic area
Hello everyone, I have been on prednisolone for just over three weeks, pain in neck, shoulders & arms have improved . I thought my low back had gone into spasm at the weekend however I am wondering if it could be PMR . The pain in hips and pelvic area is excruciating first thing in the morning easing

Bitter Taste In Mouth
I have had a persistent bitter taste in my mouth since the end of December and the only respite that I get from it is either when I am sleeping, eating or drinking! It’s so bad that it is making me feel quite unwell! I am doing everything that has been advised eg drinking lots of water, brushing teeth

Prednisone quandary
Im looking for some advice please. I'm currently on 7mg or pred and have been for many years. However over the last week I've experienced difficulty in walking. It's feels like I'm walking in deep mud. I've learnt to tolerate this problem but last Thursday it was quite extreme. I came home from walking

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
