costochondritis
is it possible to get this condition just be leaning sideways over a waist high fence? The pain I am in is terrible at night particularly exacerbated by covid. What can I do for this other than rub voltarol and take paracetomol? I’m on 2 steroids a day (for poly myalgia). Thank you

Trying to contact a GP
Well I’ve just tried to contact my surgery this morning. The online contact told me no more spaces available until tomorrow to even lodge my symptoms for someone to read. This was at 8:30am. I tried phoning the surgery, no luck there. A recorded message saying no more phone calls being taken! So I’ve

GPs treating patients differently ?
I have asthma and take Montelukast and use a Fostair inhaler I also have nasal polyps that come and go usually when I have a cold or virus. I have never been offered or had it suggested that I should have an emergency course of steroids in case I get a chest infection ( and I have had a couple of bad

Week 3 done
I finished week 3! Very happy to have made it this far! Up to 3 minute runs. The routine is going well although it's becoming more challenging to get out into this freezing cold weather!! The week has once again progressed with even more health news. I had some abnormal blood tests that indicate I do

State of the NHS
I’m posting this just to highlight the difficulties the NHS is in at the moment, I’m a 75 year old asthmaric and have had a cold and chesty cough for nearly 3 weeks. I finally decided this wasn’t going to clear up by itself. There was no way I was going to get an appointment with my GP any time soon.

Itraconazole.
is anybody having problems with Itraconazole. I first found I had Aspergillosis after a bout of pneumonia. I went into hospital for a couple of days. I kept telling the Drs I couldn’t breathe first thing in the morning after I returned home. They didn’t really acknowledge it until one morning I passed

Methotrexate or Prednisone which is more damaging?(also update on eyes)
Hi, it's me again. During an eye exam, I was told my optic nerve was narrow, and that I needed to be seen asap due to the risk of blindness with GCA. I got in to see a neuro ophthalmologist who told me that my optic nerve isn't narrow, it's just turned on an angle. Probably from my connective disease

Stopping Actemra
Good day all: Well, I called and canceled my Actemra infusion for today. I was recently diagnosed with something called MGRS (Monoclonal Gammopathy of renal Significance), It is related to Multiple Myeloma. I start chemotherapy for the MGRS next week, which is the same as the chemo for full

Post Operative Steroids
I am now home after having a new knee fitted. They kept me in an extra night due to being in surgery much longer than anticipated and low sodium levels, so saline drip overnight. I am guessing I was given more anaesthesia than planned, I am finding that I am more tired than I've ever felt. I can

Has anyone had IVIG as well as intralipids - within the same cycle?
Is this overkill? I have high NK cells and very high cytokines as well as a need for a blood thinner. My clinic's plan involves both IVIG and intralipids (as well as steroids and clexane) a few days before transfer. I've not often seen this being done (intralipids as well as IVIG) so I thought I would

max inhaler dose?
Hi everyone. I saw the hospital respiratory team about a month ago, who said that it is ok to take 5 puffs rather than the suggested max 4 puffs Fostair 200/6, as a kind of last resort before prednisolone. I’ve taken a lot of steroids this year and am trying to reduce the number of courses. However,

Actemra and aches and pains!
I was put on Actemra about 3 months ago and have dropped as prescribed i.e. 1mg per month. I have had GCA for 14 years and was stuck on 14mgs of prednisolone for some time. It has been a struggle at times but a few weeks ago I noted I was beginning to ache in my muscles and joints similar to fourteen

'Headspin'
I'm sure we have all had a 'Spinning Head' at some time or other, especially since being diagnosed with CLL. Many of us soon realise that CLL is soon joined by a host of other Diagnosis and Prognosis, which can overwhelm us at times,, thus the perpetual 'Headspin'. After five years of W&W, I was told

Prostap and Tibolone
Hello everyone, just wanted some advice, started Prostap and tibolone on Monday and since then have felt like I've been hit by a bus ( headache, nausea, fatigue, body aches, ovary pain etc) and I can honestly say I have never felt so emotional in my life! It's like the worst PMS on steroids, I am literally

PMR and the effect on mental health.
I consider myself as coping as I am getting to the point of acceptance of this disease after being diagnosed 12 weeks ago as a 57-year-old male but why do I have moments of absolute overwhelming sadness? I have never welled up to this extent and can even feel it coming on, which is very odd indeed.

Flare Up
I wrote a couple of weeks ago how I had stopped taking steroids in June and thought that GCA had gone for good after four long years, only to start having symptoms again. The consultant rheumatologist has confirmed that my GCA is active. I have had to start taking steroids all over again and was given
