ToeNail fungus treatment and Methotrexate
I’ve recently been recommended Curanail by my footcare practitioner for a toe nail fungus condition. I wondered if any one has used this while taking weekly methotrexate, and sometimes Naproxen.My blood test results are all fine and RA is well controlled atm. Looking at the instructions it can take

Out of hospital Pt2
I've escaped again. At least this time I feel lots better. I'm on more steroids. Slowly reducing and Anakinra... daily biologic. It's an actual syringe job so it's as well I'm a vet and used to giving injections. It's worse injecting yourself but I'll get on with it. Fingers crossed I'll be a new woman

Can’t reduce below 5mg
hello I’ve just joined this group in the hope that I can get some advice or at least some understanding of my situation! I was diagnosed with PMR nearly 2 years ago when I was 58. I’ve been on Prednisolone ever since, starting on 20mg which resulted in the usual miraculous sense of relief, and have managed

Shaking and 'nervy'
I've experienced shaking quite a lot since taking steroids for about eighteen months but now I seem to be in a constant nervous state, not "me" at all. I wake up by 5.00 every morning with my heart thumping and feeling shaky. I've tried the usual Rescue Remedy etc. ( but that just makes me cough) I've

Thyroid Dysfunction and PD
So I thought I'd cross-search some of my health challenges and whadyaknow: https://academic.oup.com/cei/article/208/3/372/6578682. Shut your mush and take your Ldopa, though I'm non-responsive. Doc, I'm photophobic, can't open my eyes in the morning ALO, blepharospasm...Read it's predictive years before

Rheumatology
Having read several times on here, it would seem that most people have had regular blood tests and rheumatology appointment. I have been on high dose steroids for PMR, for around 2 years. I am gradually cutting this right down to 3mg. I have never seen a rheumatologist, my doctor doesn't think it is

Negative again
I wish so much I could have posted a positive outcome. It’s 5:30am and I’m lying here , quite numb. No tears at all, just emptiness. I had a feeling it was negative but was still hopeful. Thinking surely this must be our time?! I find the hardest part now is telling my husband, breaking his heart too

Keeping Pegasys injections cool and monitoring temp
Hi, I have recently been diagnosed with Erdheim-Chester Disease after being treated for many years for an MPN, (ET) I have started on Pegasys Interferon and will be travelling by plane soon (yay) and am looking for advice to keep the injections cool. Does anyone use a fridge (or similar) thermometer

Hello, Hope everyone is ok and enjoying some sunshine. Over in the UK we aren't blessed with too much, but at the moment it is very fine :-) Anyhow, I moved over from Tecfidera to Ksimpta around 4 months ago after a particularly nasty relapse last year, and wondered if anyone else has done the same

Trodelvy update
Having super good run with this drug going onto round 10 or 11 - CEA normal and CA15 down another 4% all other liver and general chemistry normal. I wanted to reiterate that the side effects get more manageable too. I believe that results from the San Antonio Conference last week will make this drug

itch left upper back
a while back someone posted the name of a condition relating to autoimmune illnesses where you have itching on your upper back, left hand side, no rash. It sometimes accompanies autoimmune illnesses. I use Sarna lotion which is what I seem to recall the poster using as well. Anyone remember the name

How to relieve pain
What methods to people use to ease their pain. I’m day 5 of steroids and taking coco Damon plus heat pads. Movement in morning is most painful. Even during the day the smallest movement can hurt,

Eyesight improvement on Prednisolone
Hi there, my first post. So I thought my eyesight was going a little blurry and went for a test last week. It turns out that my mid range sight is actuality a lot better than it was 2 yrs ago. Down to +0.5 from +1.5. The optician said it was due to the steroids and can sometimes happen. I have to go
