Overdoing it?
Between starting Steroids in July 2023 and going on holiday in November I had put on a stone and got sluggish and I was still tired and inactive. Three weeks' warm sunshine and some peace and quiet and I lost half a stone and got to regularly swimming a mile a day and clocking 10,000 steps. I dropped

A longer instalment tonight: Granny left school at the ripe old age of 14 in common with many of her peers in order to earn her keep. She went 'out service', to begin the privilege or otherwise of working for some of the 'well to do' families in Sheffield. Her first employer was a Mrs. Bonnington who

feeling depressed for no reason.
Sorry to bother you all again, but I am feeling very low and feel like crying, but there is nothing wrong with me. I went to M&S this morning and the salvation army were playing seasonal carols, I just felt overwhelmed with sadness. My neighbour is on end of life care and I am trying to be supportive

Issues sleeping, and other things
Diagnosed with chronic bronchitis 2 years ago. I had some sort of flare in Jan that never settled. Two weeks ago I started doxy followed by azithro & 10 days of steroids. Some mild SOB on incline walking in the last month. Normally I clear my mucus with sea swimming (fit & active 40 yr old M). A week

Asthma & heart rate
I’m not having much luck with my asthma lately. Having just had the second course of steroids in 2 months, it would seem that this exacerbation had also affected my heart, leading to an irregular heartbeat. I seem to recall a similar thing happening to me about 5 years ago, when I had a chest infection

COVID Vaccination
thing I made a bad decision yesterday. After cancelling twice yesterday I had my 5th vaccine. Today is day 11 of steroids and I’m feeling I’ve gone backwards. Gp had said it was ok to have the jab but I’m not so sure.

Bronchoscopy
I’ve been in hospital for 3+ weeks while they try to work out what is causing me to have spikes of temperature, even though my infection markers have dropped. Last night I was told I would be having a bronchoscopy this morning, so not a lot of sleep! I forgot to ask how long these results take to

Is it the Shingles vaccination or Prednisone reduction?
I was on the third week of lowering pred dose from 5mg to 4.5 using the five week go slow method. I was feeling good. The day after the Shingles injection I began to feel ill with severe stomach pains digestive upset, headache, lightheaded, Insomnia but extreme tiredness. Could it be simply the fact

Update on inflammation/injections
2 months ago I put information on the site about my upcoming injections at the top of my neck just below my skull, which was said to be Facet Joint injections, and maybe the cause of where the inflammation might be coming from, and therefore may not be Polymyalgia after all, which I have had for six

Diagnosis About Turn?
Evening all, I joined this group 3 weeks ago - quite relieved to have been diagnosed - finally! The 'symptoms' literature that the GP had given me was absolutely spot on, as was everything I read in Kate Gilberts book - even my husband was gob smacked that everything seemed to fit. But, as of yesterday

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
