Covid and lung cancer

Tirosint
Hi, I posted earlier about Tirosint in Gel capsules possibly giving me a rash. I stopped taking them 4 weeks ago and the rash continues. Not as bad but still all down my legs and arms. My question. Can it take so long to leave the body? Or am I blaming the wrong thing for my rash? Blood tests were

Good news/bad news
hi all. The nurse rang last week to say that my liver results had improved somewhat but were still outside normal range. Because I have such active disease she didn’t want to leave me with no meds at all, so we decided to restart the leflunomide and see how the blood results go in two week, then make

Post covid oxygen levels.
Hi, I have recently had covid which left me with a dreadful COPD exacerbation. I was given anti virals and taken rescue pack followed by another course of Doxycycline. Although I feel a lot better my oxygen levels have dropped dreadfully. I am prescribed ambulatory oxygen but am finding I am using it

clonazepam lethargy
has anyone experienced extreme fatigue since taking Clonazepam. My husband has been taking this now for around 10 days. He seems to be sleeping better at night but extremely tired during the day and i think this might be impacting his ability to walk as he can barely stand up without falling backwards

Where should I go from here? Reduced by doc from 6 Pred to 2 and now suffering
Having been told by 3 doctors to try to get off Prednisolone so I could be assessed by specialist at hospital (as no doctor felt able to confirm I really had PMR although on steroids for 2 years!) I reduced from 6 to 2 Pred in 8 weeks. Result: much itching when reducing down from 4 to 3 and now, at 2

Gods beautiful creations
Last week I was able to ski with a bunch of my grandkids and all my pics were of them. Some days I felt ill but it was so worth it Today I went snowshoeing in a snow storm. What a peaceful serene setting on those snow covered paths nestled in the pines. Even the village where the trail system begins

Has anyone gone from Pegasys to Besremi?
Hi all, I am a 65 year old woman in the US with ET. My hematologist has had me on Pegasys for 2 years now, starting with 45 mcg, then 90 mcg injected once a week. Originally my platelets were in the high 400's and have crept up even with the injections and are now at 610. He had me go up to 135 mcg

Covid, covid test and tapering
Very slow tapering (DL style and working well) currently at 5mg prednisolone. Just into my 3rd year PMR diagnosis, when I contracted covid. Staying put at 5 mg now. PMR bouts of fatigue and sleepiness much worse this time though just starting to improve a little. not the case on my previous covid infection
