Nicotine Patch helps immensely.
For the last week, I’ve been wearing a 7mg nicotine patch with amazing results. Almost every night since I’ve slept through the night. My symptoms have improved, I have a much better sense of wellbeing. Nicotine has been known for years for its medicinal properties. Eggplant has the second most nicotine

hi , I’ve booked to have a jab privately as I wasn’t having any luck requesting it from the gp. Is this definitely safe for me to have with liver disease. Thanks

Up and Running F
First week of Methotrexate 10mg and Folic Acid 5mg, same this week, then methotrexate up to 15mg. I just need to find out when to reduce the steroids to 30 mg. I am on 40 mg at the moment and all is ok.

Hello. I am new to this site but not new to prednisone. I was diagnosed with GCA in 2016 through a regular eye test, nearly didn’t go as felt very fluey at the time. Glad I did I was sent straight to hospital with a letter to be seen immediately by a rheumatologist. My CRP was 139 and I was started on

Tuberculosis
I have been talking medication for lymph node tb for 4 months now, however i have been developing fever and night sweats for the past few day. Is it common to have fever and nights sweats 4 months into the treatment? My lymph node is secreting pus and is very itchy.

FET in 4 days and nasty cold
I am so worried now, our FET is this Thursday and some nasty cold got me this weekend. I am afraid to take any cold/flu meds so it won't mess up with my lining etc 🙈 Has anyone been not well before or during transfer and it affected the outcome?

how long to recover
I have been unwell with an infection and exacerbation of my asthma. I usually carry on working as long as I can when I’m on steroids and antibiotics but I have been off work for a week and I feel guilty. 2 courses of pred down and still wheezy. I think I will need another course but it is getting better

GVHD and skin dryness.
Unfortunately I have chronic graft versus host desiese of the skin and have controlled it with a steroid cream since my ASCT a year and a half ago. My only issue currently is that I find it hard to look after the skin on my hands and feet that are dry and chapped. I have used quite a few emoluments

update on subacute thyroiditis
Just posting an update on my experience with subacute thyroiditis. Thanks for the support in this forum! Since mid August I was quite unwell with classic symptoms of thyroiditis (significant neck pain, high inflammatory markers) and became quite thyrotoxic. I was eventually given a course of steroids

I had a medical crisis, I didn't die, I wonder why
Last summer I had a medical emergency. The odds were it would kill me but I survived with few life threatening consequences. The problems I had are commonly fatal for 80 year old men. There is a message in my experience which I hope to share with you in this article. It is a bit longer than most

Hi there! I'm new here and not sure why I haven't thought to join this before. I've been struggling with my asthma for some time now and have just been offered montelukast because I've not settled after almost 3 weeks of max. Inhalers and a course of steroids. I was just wondering if anyone has experience
