ra associated eye ulcers
hi everyone, I posted in this community quite a while ago about an ulcer in my eye which the rheumatologist said was caused by the ra. At the time, I was given some very helpful advice and information by Kags1068. Since then, I have had 4 more ulcers (my eyes take it in turns), and am currently in week

Sky high hba1c
I was diagnosed May/June 23. I had just had my diabetes check and all was OK. Fast forward to December check and definitely not ok! I had been eating low carb and had lost weight. Life became very difficult from October with a nasty fall, mental heath crisis for our grandson while we were looking

Is all the extra medication needed?
Hello everyone. I was diagnosed with PMR just over 2 years ago and have posted on this invaluable site a few times. After high doses of Pred at the beginning with a possible threat of GCA,, which did not occur, I have yo-yoed a bit with stresses in life. However I am currently on 7 and a half mg and

Symbicort 100/6 to 200/6
Hi, I've been trying out Montelukast, (4 weeks now but no noticeable improvement). So the asthma nurse has now suggested trying increasing my Symbicort from the 100/6 (I take 2 puffs morning and night) to the 200/6. Is this likely to make any particular difference? I think the theory is, it's better

My awful day and unexpected update from G.P
Following on from my previous post where I received so much advice and support which was so appreciated, thank you. Unfortunately, today didn't go so well. Firstly my GP was not in the practice and I was passed on to a locum (Who i have seen before). I was assertive and requested he support my decision

Dr Mackie is looking for pople willing to try Methotrexate for her STERLING PMR study
As above, she is looking for people who have PMR, don’t have GCA, and have had trouble tapering their steroids. And would be ok in principle to consider trying methotrexate. They would have to be local or able to travel to Leeds. If you are already on methotrexate then you would not be eligible to

Follow up to my last post about nausea & unable to eat.
Hi again folks. I posted 16 days ago about feeling weak, nauseous & being unable to eat plus my reluctance to go to A & E as I'd been with similar symptoms just a couple of weeks before. However, I did go to A & E where I was admitted after a blood test confirming low sodium levels (again) and a really

MART (maintenance as reliever therapy)
Hi, I’m just wondering if MART should work for most people? We’ve tried it recently (I say we because me and my GP have a good relationship and typically we work together on things like a team) and it didn’t help much. However I’m currently in the middle of a flare up (thank you cold weather + chest

Broncholidator Reversibility Test
Hi, I posted a few days ago about my team wanting to do a broncholidator reversibility test and FeNO before they put me forward for biologics. I wasn't going to do the test, then decided to do it, incase it did show reversibility to save time waiting for a referral to Wynthenshawe as my current hospital

Swollen lymph nodes in neck
Hello everyone. This feels like a bit of a random question. I am taking Fostair 200/6 and have developed swollen and tender lymph nodes on the left side of my neck. I have no other symptoms of any infection. Could this be linked to the steroid inhaler? I haven’t contacted the doctor yet as I was waiting

Hello, This is my first post but i have been an avid reader every day and have learned so much. I was diagnosed having PMR in September 2023 by my GP who recommended I take 15 mg of Prednisolone daily to see if his diagnosis was correct. To my surprise and amazement, I became pain free which was a miracle

which steroids and what dosage.
Don’t know if the steroid Dexamethosone would be appropriate for brain cancer but your doctor should know. It is given to me every 21 days at Docetaxel chemo infusion for PCa and absolutely eliminates pains. Can last for 12-18 hours. Ask your doc about it. Mike Seattle

Really struggling - Tocilzumab/Pred
Hello again, I’m in real pain around the clock and struggling to see past it at the moment. I’m due my second Toci injection tomorrow but the pain has gone worse since I had the first one last week. I posted that it hadn’t helped at all and was reassured when many of you said it took several weeks

Who uses steroids?
Hello everyone! I hope everyone had a nice holiday. I have a question about steroids. I recently had whole brain radiation for a bunch of tiny Mets . Before this I was on Trodelvy. My biggest side effect forever has been nausea. Many of the meds for nausea don’t work for me. The only
