Bloody Covid can sod off!
Hi All, Had heart attack/ stent fitted 10 weeks ago & still struggling with side effects of medication. Dropped down to 1 Bisoprolol instead of 2 & this temporarily stopped the dizzy spells & light headedness. But within a couple of weeks they were back again & I just feel like crap most of the time

Busy, busy, busy!
Hello,, everyone! Just thought I'd pop in and say 'Hello!' as i've been really busy lately and not getting much chance to look in at the Forum. I sometimes get chance to read but not much time to respond - only to very few! I had COVID again a few weeks ago which has left me with an aversion to certain

Steroids
Hi I have PMR ( diagnosed in April this year ) My rheumatologist gave me a steroid injection 3 weeks ago in shoulder for pain ( she was reluctant for me to go back on oral preds because I’m diabetic type 2 ) Anyway the steroids reduced the pain for a short while . Then it was agony ! Finally spoke

Rituximab
does anyone have any advice about the effect of the COVID vaccine on Rituximab. I had my first infusion in July which has been successful for me and given me a pain free life. So don’t want to ‘mess it up by risking Covid vaccine if it has a negative effect. thanks

Baby Athletes Foot
My baby is 5 months old and I think he may have athletes foot if that’s at all possible! I think it’s probably from where he has had sweaty feet and then worn baby gros overnight with covered feet, we keep his feet bare during the day when at home to let them air out and dry. Is there anything over the

Chicken Pox Exposure
I’m on 3.1 mg of Prednisolone for PMR. My son has just asked us to babysit our 18 month old granddaughter, who was vaccinated against Chicken Pox ( live vaccine) 4 days ago I’m not sure if I should babysit or not. Is there any risk involved in being close to a newly vaccinated baby and if so how

Covid vaccine during tapering down PMR?
Thanks so much for the valuable responses, which I am studying ongoing,to my previous posts. I was dubious about the Covid vaccine possibly bringing back my PMR symptoms. Having read the posts here I am largely reassured, but I would like to check for my own circumstances. I have never had a problem

Advice on increasing Pred for breathlessness and persistent cough
My GP told me that breathlessness is a symptom of PMR, so I can't seek her advice on how to manage this cough etc. Some people are saying that Eris Covid is around and it presents as a bad cough which does not show up as positive on home covid testing kits. I have had a persistent productive cough

AFib and cold showers
Hello amazing community, My PAFs usually begin in the early evening or at night in bed. I am wondering if my cold shower regime really helps end them or might just be random. The last few times when I get up in AFib in the morning, I shower/douse myself with freezing water to get the "gasp effect
