DSNS Taper Question
Hi all, At a recent visit to my Rheumy, he told me I'm ready to taper once again. At the time, I was at 7 MG PRED per day. I had been sick with Bronchitis for more than a month, and also had to care for my wife who contracted pneumonia a month before that, so I was not able to taper during that time

Done lots of blood tests and all they

Link between cellulitis and thyroid
This is more of an academic question. About 8 years before I was diagnosed I had cellulitis 2 years running. The doctors and hospital were really confused why I'd got it. I was doing some training today around infection and sepsis and it mentioned to that certain conditions made you more liable to infection

bronchiectases and fungal infection
Hello all, I have bronchiestaces amongst other things and I’ve been coughing up small amounts of blood for a few weeks. After a trip to A&e I was given a sputum test which came back saying I had a fungal infection somewhere in my respiratory tract. Has anybody else had this? thank you

Is propofol safe for a colonoscopy with Parkinson’s?
is it safe, or is there a preferred drug for a colonoscopy? I’m on rasagiline and sometimes mucuna and carbidopa….and should they be discontinued before? If so, how long before? Thanks!

Sun protection. Mineral sun lotion on a budget
Staying protected from UV rays is high on many peoples list this week, with layering and staying in the shade so important. I’ve read that mineral based sun lotion is better than chemical as it creates a barrier on your skin that reflects UV light so t hey don't absorb into the skin. Mineral sunscreens

Tilt Table Test
Well, on Thursday I had a Tilt Table test and it was positive. My blood pressure rose to 185/110 before taking a nosedive to 80/54 with me on the verge of passing out. My nurse then stopped the test and reclined the table. I am pretty certain that I did not escape Sjogrens with my year on Pegasys. I

Great progress on Pegasys!
I’ve been on Pegasys for 16 months. When I started, my JAK-2 Allele burden was 29%. Today it is 14%! I was one of the folks who needed a higher dose of Peg to respond. Over 7 months, my dose was gradually increased, and I didn’t see a response until I was at 180mg/week. My blood work is now 100%

Adalimumab
I have been on Hydroxychloroquine for 2 years and methotrexate for 6 months. Today I had to have bloods and chest x-ray as they want to start me on Adalimumab. Really hate the thought of another medication. I just wonder exactly what the medication is doing to my body. Already had a blip last month

Pegasys skin?
Has anyone else had their skin turn into rough, dry, chicken skin on large parts of their bodies after taking Pegasys? Mine started out with itchiness, and now the skin itself is weird. I've used tons of lotion, including Sarna. I have also taken Beta Alanine orally. Problem is growing worse. Any solutions

Flagyl ( Metronidazole) Side Effects
Hi my friends, I was given Flagyl to treat my digestive system after an episode of food poisoning but this medicine caused a lot of annoying side effects like heartburn and bloating. Did any one had this medicine and how did you feel. Many thanks
