Child diagnosed with hypothyroidism
Hello, My daughter who is 9 years old has just been diagnosed with hypothyroidism. I am really shocked because she has no obvious symptoms other than her growth has slowed a bit, which we thought might be connected to her use of inhaled steroids for asthma. Has anyone else got a child with an underactive

Another visit to Rheumatologist…
Hi, I had a face to face appointment with my Rheumatologist yesterday. My ESR has increased to 97 and CRP 38. He said he’s very concerned about this 🙄. I’ve had 8 injections of Adalimumab since I last saw him for Ankylosing Spondylitis. He has stopped the jabs because he says they aren’t working

I’ve just gotten back from a weekend stay at hospital for my chest. It was a bit of a mixed bag to be honest with one doc wanting to send me home nearly straight away because “it’s all in your throat and you are panicking” to “yes so your chest X-ray showed some white shadows at the bottom of your lungs

Flare or hiccup or stress?
I have been on 7mg Pred since mid May (I had got down to 6mg but had to increase) and now seem unable to reduce any further. There are times I've felt good and thought now could be the time, but then something happens to increase the fatigue, the vision is not quite as clear (one eye is weaker than

Life after Tocilizumab?
I've been off steroids since mid-May. Continuing to take methotrexate (15mg weekly) and Toxilizumab weekly. I seem to be doing well - bloods fine and health ok. I'm seeing rheumatologist next week and my concern is I'm guessing that I won't be eligible for further Tox after my current prescription runs

Increased inflammation-flare?
In September last year my rheumatologist asked if while I was at Mayo Clinic I could see an endocrinologist about a possible testosterone issue. That was ok but I mentioned y long term prednisone, and getting off of them. I was put on 20mg hydrocortisone 10 in am and 10 at 3pm. Reduce to 15 after a month

Cyclosporine
I have primary sjogrens syndrome which is affecting my eyes terribly. I am now having to have my tear ducts permanently closed and I have been prescribed cyclosporine eye drops with steroid drops. The dr said the drops hurt for a few minutes with each use but the steroids will taper the discomfort.

Hi All, I was diagnosed with a brain tumor grade 2 Ependymoma in March of 2024. I had surgery but the doctor could only remove 10 To 15 % because of the location and several nerves surrounding the mass. I had radiation but after completion there was no change. Didn’t shrink but also didn’t grow.

Has anyone else had their inner demon released by steroids?
Near my 80th birthday and usually when things go wrong I say “Oh well, never mind”. Just recently, on 60 mg Prednisolone, after a usual disrespectful comment from a family member (been going on for years) I suddenly found my ‘voice’ and said things that had been a long time coming. “Oh well, never

new treatment
My neurologist has let me know that I have an “aggressive and advanced” MS based on my age (28) and time since diagnosis. (7 months) Steroids were the only treatment to make a difference for me although short term. Next for me is a try with a methylprednisolone 5day infusion. Will be my 4th treatment

Tired of colitis
I first was diagnosed with proctitis when I was about 20 but the doctor prescribed a sedative, believing it was stress related. After that I had about 4 or 5 flare ups over the course of the next 50 years, not having been officially diagnosed with Ulcerative Colitis until 12 years ago. Mostly I tried
