Anyone developed type 2 diabetes from steroids? wondering if maybe this is a developing problem for me - I have a high dose steroid inhaler.
just wondered if anyone had experienced this? I’ve just had a short course of prednisolone and feeling very fatigued.

Don't know what's real anymore...
Some know my story so far, but briefly, rheumatologist diagnosed sjogren's after several years of UCTD and has now referred but to a sjogren's specialist. I saw him about a month ago and he's not convinced it's sjogren's and is running more tests and told me to stop taking Amitryptiline as tris can

Variable periods of bloating, constipation and normal bowel function.
Currently at 5/5.5 mg prednisolone, and tapering very slowly. I'm in my third year since PMR diagnosis having started on 15 mg.I enjoy a healthy diet with regular exercise, dancing, table tennis and walking, varying the pace with varying pain levels. Grateful for any suggestions for a quick remedy/relief

update on grumpy Grampy
hi everyone I haven’t posted for a while but thought I’d update you all. Grumpy Grampy is doing well, he’s off the steroids, after two years. Struggling a little with that, he’s ok if I keep my hands off his neck😉 he’s taking codiene, for the cough which helps a little, well was until the pharmacies

AF and Steroids
my sister diagnosed with AF. Not many events so far and is on Apixaban and bisoprolol 2.5mg. She tolerates this well but has recently been prescribed steroids for chronic pain. She has noticed an increase in heart rate and has had two episodes of AF this week which is unusual for her. Do you think the

reduction uncertainty
I reduced to 8ml on 5th March and am reducing to 7ml today after my doctor’s appointment yesterday. My uncertainty is whether to follow his suggestion to just do that in one go or follow a tapering plan. He’s fine with either. The reduction to 8ml has been ok but not as settled as reducing to 9ml

Minor surgery and pred
Has anyone had minor surgery with general anesthetic while on less than 5 pred? I was told that 5 was the magic number they were interested but am wondering if they just ignore the steroids all together lower than 5. I will be flourishing that steroid treatment card for sure! Just to be on the safe

painful shoulders after dead slow taper to 2mg.
I was diagnosed with PMR in March 2019. I’ve finally managed to get to 2.25mg prednisone on a slow taper taking a month for 0.25mg drop. I also take Leflonamide which was doubled to 20mg a month ago to deal with probable RA in my hands. (Pain and swelling. It has helped). I’m diabetic due to steroids

Low carbs
Im 2 years in on my PMR journey with a really bad flare last July. Which took me back to the beginning. After reading on here about eating a low carb diet. I got out my 800 fast keto book and started cooking from it. Where I don’t stick to 800 I do try to be no more than 1,200 calories. And no more

A few developments - anybody got similar
Don’t want to bore you all but I have had a couple of developments recently apart from having my Rituximab extended for another year. Firstly I am on statins since last Thursday, I am fit, I get out, eat a low carb/high fibre diet but my cholesterol is around 7 so it just shows you. No after effects

Metabolic symptoms at 3am
With increasing frequency, I wake up at about 3am feeling unusually hot, like a hot flash. Lasts about 30 minutes. As it tends to follow a larger than normal evening meal, with some alcohol, I don't think it is hormone related. If this is some kind of transient metabolic phenomenon - is it more likely

Low Testosterone Linked With Mortality Risk in Aging Men - by Jeff Minerd , Contributing Writer, MedPage Today May 13, 2024
No way to know if this is applicable to those on ADT, but it would seem to be relevant for consideration. The highlighted portion is a useful guide on male sex hormone targets for those testing them. These results might also add support for Morgentaler's [i]"Saturation Model"[/i] for testosterone. Full
