Prednisone and spinal surgery
In a week I am having a laminectomy to relieve pressure on my spinal cord and nerves. Diagnosed with PMR in April 2019. Currently on 12.5mg prednisone, and on a very slow taper to 11.5mg over 5 weeks. How should I manage my steroid dose before and after surgery? Should I up the dose for a few days? Thanks

cyber knife aka SBRT
I am wondering if any one has experience with SBRT/Cyber Knife treatment. I get another PET on 9/1. First one was 3 mo. ago to look at a meningioma in my spine and lit up a 1.7cm tumor on my upper right lung lobe. I had the meningioma removed 7 weeks ago and now the thoracic surgeon wants a new PET

Results back need advice please
Hi all, hope you can help me. I have just received my results back from Medichecks and need some advice please. I do not seems to be having any health issues except for hair shredding. I realise that my ferritin and Vit D are low and could be a contributor for hair loss. My TPA antibodies are sky high

Ankyolosing Spondylitis and Adalimumab
I have Ankyolosing Spondylitis with a number of spinal fusions already. I started on Adalimumab at the end of April but it's not really helping. I have just had a phone appointment with the specialist nurse who told me that I can't expect to be pain free as I have a lot going on. I told her I don't

Do I need T3?
Hi everyone, I’m feeling confused and after some advice. I went to see an NHS endocrinologist in January who took me off T3. He is the third NHS endo who has insisted I don’t need it. I was previously put on it by two separate (private) functional nutritionists because tests have showed that I don’t

So much for my new beginnings!
2 weeks post spinal surgery I was going great guns and itching to start c25k again, then last Tuesday it was a 999 call and back into a different hospital with gallstones. Oh boy pain?... hmm. After a few days monitoring and administering fluids and antibiotics I looked a bit like an inflated version

Advice welcome
Hi everyone, I'm new here and hoping to gain some advice and strength from others in similar situations. My boyfriend has Stage IV non-small cell lung cancer (adenocarcinoma) with bone mets. The cancer has travelled into his spine causing so much damage that he had to undergo spinal surgery to replace

New beginning
Well the spinal surgery has happened the consultant tells me it was successful. I am waiting to go home now to recover, just the small matter of moving house now! Hubby has been moving stuff while I’ve been in here loafing about, next weekend is the big move I will be directing but no lifting or handling

Free from RLS for one night
So, the night before last was my worst night ever, literally up out of bed every 10 minutes and zero sleep. So last night I decided to try some things out, I went to bed at 9 exhausted but was awake by 10 with the RLS starting. I tried the following things, a glass of diet coke (with caffeine) followed

Hope for Spread of CLL to Central Nervous System
I was treated with two rounds of high-dose cytarabine infused into my cerebrospinal fluid via a
spinal
tap
(sounds horrible but it was by far the easiest chemo I've ever had). The seizures soon stopped and my vision began to improve. I was also started on high-dose ibrutinib.
