prednisolone 3 week course followd by surgery
Hi please can anyone advise how long to wait in between a prednisolone course and surgery ? I have heard from the nurses that if you have an IM steroid injection they postpone surgery for 6 to 8 weeks to allow the imunosuppresant effects to wear off before surgery. my RA consultant seems to think

slightly anxious and just looking for moral support
Hoping you all had a good Christmas. Mine has been a bit rough as the whole family has been unwell including me with this cold/throat bug that is going around. It didn’t go to my chest this year, thankfully and I was recovering okay when I noticed my throat and ears started hurting again and my mouth

bfp then hcg levels went from 530 to 350. Is it all over? My clinic said it's a MC. Even though this was a natural conception post ivf
has anyone had their hcg levels drop then still have a pregnancy? I'm still craving things and feel the symptoms. But the clinic said not to take any steroids or lubion progesterone ( only started them 2 days ago but found out I had lower hcg levels yesterday evening. I've not had a bleed yet had spotting

weight gain
I have been on preds since early July and despite my best efforts have put on a few pounds….not excessive but it’s a slippery slope!!! I’ve cut back on pasta,rice and potatoes but can’t stop them completely as my hubby likes them all and I can’t be bothered making different meals for both of us. Never

PMR Symptoms or Pred Withdrawal
I’m currently tapering from 10mg to 9mg. I’m pain free, mobile and active (which I know for many isn’t the case). My initial PMR onset and diagnosis was only a short period of time and my symptoms responded well to steroids. This means I’m aware of the severe effects of PMR. I still get tired easily

Relapse of GCA
I was diagnosed with GCA in 2019. It took me four years to be able to stop taking steroids because I kept on having flare ups. I was so happy. However, only a few months later I started having headaches, felt terrible and had no idea what was wrong until I suddenly couldn`t chew my food. It turns out

Immune Responses + Autoimmune Myelofibrosis
There were some posts a few weeks ago on adverse immune responses after vaccination for people using interferons. I had this experience while transitioning form HU to Peg, firstly with a covid jab last December and secondly with the first of the Shingrix jabs in March, which triggered, at the very least

Slippery Elm & Steroids
I have used Slippery Elm in the past for gastritis and found it superior to Omeprazole. My concern is about medications being absorbed properly if taken at the same time. Has anyone had any experience of using Slippery Elm?

Pred and unable to sleep
Hello. I often end up on several courses of prednisolone over the autumn and winter due to chest infections. Usually needing more than one course of steroids to settle my asthma back down I struggle to sleep with pred, especially for the first 2 - 3 nights. Does anyone have suggestions for helping?

Alternate day prednisolone.
I have been on Prednisolone since June 2018. I have gradually reduced the dose and got down successfully to 4mg/day. I have reduced further using DSNS but have always relapsed after a couple of weeks. Alternate day prednisolone is used in some situations in Paediatrics. It is thought to reduce adrenal
