Covid Strikes Again!
I had my second bout of covid just last week. However this time I was mentally ready. My immune systems in tip top shape with the now very healthy diet I eat, full of vitamins and minerals that my body needs. It was mild, with me having a mild temperature for a day and a runny nose for a week. One

Home at last!
After 2 months (!) in hospital I finally got home on Friday. My hands were very stiff one day, the next I couldn't move them at all. That was very scary. They decided I had a virus, which took a week to get over, then I caught another - I had high temperature and a very phlegmy chest. They also put

I was diagnosed in January 2022, I had flares every couple of months. In December my pain started to get a lot worse I now have pain everyday in my hands and someday my knees, feet and shoulders. In somedays are a real struggle. I was given a steroid injection and prescribed hydroxychloroquine sulfate

Having escaped Covid over the last few years, I did a test yesterday as I felt fluey and coldy. It was positive. I have had seven vaccinations! Couldn't believe it! Was convinced it was a false positive. Anyway, went to the emergency oncology service, was retested and confirmed I had Covid and Rhinovirus

sick day rules for labyrinthitis
Hi Once again looking for a little guidance please. I’m currently on 8mg a day using DSNS method of tapering and ok so far. However 3 weeks ago I got a really bad head cold which was followed by labyrinthitis. This resulted in appalling vertigo and sickness which confined me to my pit for 3 days. GP

Reducing steroids after illness
I should know this and I have written it down somewhere. When I first had the acute urinary infection I doubled up from 5mgs of Prednisolone to 10 and my CRP was 270, it was 70 last week and I was told to continue doubling until I had finished the antibiotics which I did today. As it is only 12 days

post Viral symptoms
I returned from Australia with a heavy cold and painful cough. I have been confined to bed mostly for 2 weeks and really quite ill. A man coughed throughout our flight, this could be the source although my grandchildren were ill too. No sooner did I feel this virus improve it seemed to gain more impetus

Long term side effects of using steroids
https://www.verywellhealth.com/steroid-side-effects-83089 A huge long description of all the problems with steroids. It was not till I saw specialists like Endocrinologist AND Rheumatologist that I was made more aware of the concerns. My PCP loves steroids., like just take more insulin, how about 50%

covid vaccines
hi all. I’m sure many readers of this wonderful community will be tired of this subject. But I wanted to ask the question- I never had any AF episodes up to and including Covid. When I look at my vaccination dates I see a possible link. Is it possible that the jabs we all had did in fact interfere with

38 weeks planned c section - Steroid injection?
I’m currently 34+1 with our IVF miracle and having a planned c section at 38 weeks (had complicated emergency c section with first child) but they’ve said they offer an optional steroid injection if you deliver planned before 39 weeks which can apparently help with breathing for baby IF they have fluid

If you get sick...cold, flu, Covid...what did you do?
I'm just over 9 months kidney transplant from a living donor. I've felt great but I do worry, since it is cold and flu season, about getting sick. Probably my biggest worry at this point. I try to wear masks when I am out and take all precautions. I just wondered though if I should get sick what are
