Update on appointment with professor Hughes
So I had a really good appointment today with professor Hughes. He listened to what I had to say and had read the medical history pre read I had sent him. After a good chat about my PMR/pred journey and all the steroid sparing drugs I had tried he came up with 3 options. 1. Stay on 10mg of pred and

I am back! In need of your excellent advice...
After successfully reducing to zero pred last autumn, the symptoms began to reappear. After advice about how to deal with a flare I increased the dose (to 15mg), but that didn't seem to help. Then I was given a depo-medrone injection, with the advice that it would last a couple of months and hopefully

Depo and panic attacks?
So, I've had my first depo provera shot last week, and today, I think I've had 3 panic attacks, all seemingly out of the blue. As far as I can remember, I haven't had one before. I do have very mild anxiety but nothing I take medication for. Are panic attacks associated with depo? Have any of you experienced

Depo-Medrol Injection and nausea
Hi everyone, Just wondered if anyone has had a chronic reaction to a steroid shot? I am only tiny and was given 120mg a month ago and I am literally grounded still with the worst nausea. I can barely eat and have lost 3/4 stone so am down to 7 stone ☹️ Is it possible I had too higher dose and my immune

Why do some AN grow quickly over a short period of time, could stress or hormones play a part?
My tumour has doubled in size in 10 months and the consultant said that it was unusual. He mentioned pregnancy, and hormones. Im 48, not pregnant, but i am on the contaceptive injection called depo provera, but considering ive been taking this birth control for 10 years, the consultant didn't seem to

long awaited rheumy appointment
nearly a year, then appt just 15 minutes long…was booked as a 45 mins appt. Nobody went in before me, I was only one in waiting room, & I saw him go into his room 5 mins before my appt time. I then waited 35 minutes. He seemed angry because I’d been given a new patient appt when I’d been seen twice before

Tapering advice please.
Brief recap on me. In June this I year had 120mg Depo-medrone injection (for PMR), which was little short of miraculous, from private Rheumy who then wrote to my GP asking her to continue these on NHS. You bang your head against a brick wall at our surgery but I finally had another injection in September

Can anyone who has experienced it please explain the difference between 'withdrawal pain' and return of symptoms when reducing Pred dose?
I am currently on a high dose of Pred (22 per day). I feel this is the bare minimum my body needs, and I actually possibly need more. If I take, say 22.5, I feel much better. I'd obviously like to reduce the dose if possible because of the side effects of Pred , but every time I go down to 21, even

Tachycardia?
As a follow-up to my last post about seasonal allergies and medication, my doctor gave me an injection of Decadron and Depo-Medrol (cortisone) for allergies. A couple days later while doing outdoor chores, I had a tachycardia event, rested, and had three more events in succession, the last lasting 15

Hot weather and Diarrhea TAPERING dilemna
In the three days of high heat temperatures in London last month I became ill with continual diarrhea. I wasn't eating much, I did take electrolytes, but it didn't dawn on me that my doses of preds (at the tail end of a taper from 8.5 to 8) were probably being washed away with digestive contents. So

Dangers of treatment for mild symptoms
Hello all. My PET scan showed evidence of PMR and my rheumatologist wants me to go onto steroids although I have very little pain or stiffness at present. This is to guard against GCA. If I understood her correctly the options include local injections and Depo Medrone. The rheumatologist also mentioned
