Psychiatric Somatisation disorder suggested before thyroid dysfunction diagnosis?
Just out of interest, how many people have been fobbed off with a suggestion or diagnosis of a psychiatric/psychological disorder whilst trying to get a diagnosis of thyroid dysfunction? I think it must be quite common. When it happened to me I was shocked. (Can you believe it?!) At the time I found

Flare dosage after tapering to zero
Hello everyone, hoping to tap your wisdom. I'm experiencing my first flare (aching neck, shoulders, temples; thankfullyno visual symptoms) since getting off pred in early March 2024. Rheumy on call wants me to take 40mg now as protection against vision loss. I was diagnosed with cranial GCA and PMR

adalimumab side effects
Have been on adalimumab 2 weekly injections for nearly 3 months. Have noticed that I am losing an excessive amount of hair each time that I comb my hair. Also, I have been suffering from swollen legs /ankles over the past month without doing very much at all. Have previously needed to stop methotrexate

is yoga ok?
I’ve very recently been diagnosed with glaucoma after losing sight in the top half of my right eye, which has been a real shock. I’ve been going to Yoga and Pilates classes for a number of years, both of which I feel have helped with a back issue and have kept me fit and very active at 67, I’m loath

cataract
Hi all, I realise cataracts are commonplace from Steroid use . I’ve had one for years, possibly from a childhood eye injury. It’s now becoming a problem , affecting my sight. It’s Encapsulated, not as straightforward. My main concern is healing. It took a year for my leg to heal. Do you advise

Blood in syringe
Hi all Just a quick question to those who self inject please. I've just given myself my peg shot, and when I removed the syringe, I noticed that there was blood inside it even though I didn't pull back the syringe in any way while injecting. I did get a bit of blood collecting on my skin after removing

GCA and Elevation
I have had PMR for 5 years and was diagnosed with GCA in September of 2023. I presently am on 4mg of prednisone. I am feeling good and continue to be pretty active and just turned 70 year old. I walk at least 3 miles a day, bike long distances and kayak. I plan on taking a hike up to 10,000 feet
