Heavy cold
Apologies if this seems quite trivial but I have had a heavy cold for the past 2/3 days which at present is getting worse. Have tested negative for Covid so no concerns about that so I’m just wondering whether to miss my medication tomorrow or whether it won’t make any difference. I take 20mg MTX but

any one had to stop work due to health?
Iam 61, had thought I’d work until I was at least 65. I’ve just had a year off during which I had a craniotomy and RT as well as dealing with taking steroids for GCA which isn’t helping! I have just started a phased return to work. Work have been amazing and my return is very flexible. However, I don

I got covid and went to hospital. They said I have severe heart failure. Since leaving hospital my pro bnp level has dropped significantly. I think the covid caused the heart failure. Anyone hear of that happening?

appointment
yesterday I saw my new rheumatologist and her advice was for me to start reducing my steroids by 1 mg per month until I get down to 5 mg ( I am currently on 11 mg a day and have been reducing by half a mg each month) then 1 mg every 2 months. I have been told that they will increase my methotrexate to

New to here
I have had tinnitus for a couple of years now. It started, I believe, with a bout of COVID. I had COVID for the 3rd time in October 2023 and the tinnitus has and is continuing to get worse. It's constant buzzing sound with clicking noises and now earache.

GCA Study Article
Hi all, In all my research and scouring of the Internet, I found this article (below my update) which is quite informative and also recent. I don’t know if it has been posted before but I thought some would be interested. An update on me: I was put on 60 mg of steroids a week ago because GCA symptoms

thrush in mouth
I have had antibiotics lately and have thrush in my mouth. I have been prescribed Nystan to take 4 times a day. The nurse /practioner said also rinse my mouth after using my steroid inhaler.The problem is do I rinse and spit or rinse and swallow? Swallowing is so much easier

Buprenorphine...help with prescription please!!
Since my neurologist retired and I found a new one, my pharmacy is not accepting his order for the buprenorphine because he's saying it's for RLS and the pharmacy is saying something about it is for pain but since this new neurologist isn't a pain doctor, he said he can't prescribe it that way even though

ADT and crying
Does anyone else that has been on ADT drugs for years have trouble with tears or crying for no real reason? I tear up anymore at just the thought of something sad. It’s a major pain in the ass, not to mention embarrassing because I am still employed. Wondering if there is a solution other than stopping
