Flare up or just Fatigue?
I have tapered to 7.5 mg this month using Dorset Lady's table, but in the last few days I have pains around the hips which is only relieved by sitting down. I wake up around 4.30 a.m. and so have several spells of faitigue/deep sleeps in the early evening. When I am out I lean against counters

Back on Steroids
Hello to all Three years ago I was diagnosed with GCA and put on 75mg of Prednisilone tapering for 2 years till I finished. I managed to stay off Prednisone for 1 year. During that time I suffered many side effects, well that is what I thought was the case. I improved slowly but then went downhill

I have Churg Strauss (EGPA) treated with methotrexate and steroids, and have been invited for Phnumonia and Shingles vaccinations. Are they safe/sensible to have?

Flare?
Hi,I'm posting on behalf of my mum, who was diagnosed with PMR at the end of October this year, after I took her to A & E. She told them she was certain she had PMR, but they were not convinced thinking she had osteoarthritis, until her blood results came back confirming PMR. It was in her thighs &

help with the mental health side of vasculitis
hello all, I’ve just been recently diagnosed with suspected vasculitis. Waiting on skin biopsy results to determine which kind. Spent 5 days in hospital due not being able to walk from how swollen my legs and feet were plus covered all over with the typical vasculitis looking rash. Released from hospital

Progression
I was first diagnosed 13 years ago but had no symptons and stayed that way for 6 - 7 years before my breathlessness slowly increased. I was already on meds for hypertension and hypothyroidism but also had a shoulder inflammation, poly myalgia rheumatica, [PMR] which started me on steroids, I managed

Steroids and blood-sugar...
I posted recently about the "Prednisolone jitters" and quite a lot of people seem to have responded with similar experiences. I think I might have some insight which might be useful to someone out there... Before being diagnosed with PMR I used to get episodes of low blood sugar. I know this because

GCA Concerns, Cold and Eyes
I hope everyone had as wonderful a Christmas as I did, despite our health battles. I flew to Arkansas where 2 of my adult kids and 4 of my grandkids live. 2 other adult kids and their spouse and fiancé came, and it’s been a wonderful time. A cold was going around, and I caught it. Just the sniffles,

Coughing again ...
Hi all - I posted here in early December after a trip to India set my asthma off because of the dreadful pollution. I saw a fabulous doctor who threw everything at me - nebulizer, antibiotics, steroids, Omeprazole, cough medicine and an antihistamine - which calmed it all down. He did say he couldn't

hot flushes
I’ve struggled with these for about twenty years and they have diminished over time. However, since going on preds, just over five weeks ago, they have got worse. Nothing like when they were at their worst when I was younger, but boy do they wake me up, when my sleep is pretty poor anyway, since the

Asthma not well controlled
I'm worried that my asthma is not well controlled, I'm on highest dose of Fostair which was switched from Flutiform earlier this year as my Asthma nurse believed I needed a higher dose of steroid to control my asthma as I frequently need Steroids. I also have Spiriva, Carbocisteine and Montelukast but

Lung crackles
I keep getting lung crackles and wheezing at the end of respiratory infections and needing steroids . The GP isn't interested and I always end up in A and E , given a nebuliser and a course is steroids to take home. My regular inhaler Fostair contains steroids but appears to be useless when I am.having
