update PMR or Neck Problem
Just putting this here as I don’t know if anyone can see it on my thread, sorry if repeating myself. UPDATE Just spoke to GP. Not a successful call. When I mentioned neck/arm he says I haven’t got PMR & wants me off the steroids. I’m worried now in case I reduce and I really have got PMR again as well

PMR, travelling abroad, emergency pack of Pred ( “ sick day rules”) in case of illness
Hello, I’m off to a small Greek island next week where there are limited medical facilities - there are doctors but no pharmacy. I’ve just had a bit of a frustrating conversation with a GP during which I was trying to explain that should I unfortunately become ill eg Covid ( I hope not of course !) would

What causes cold sweats?
I’ve been taking Prednisolone for PMR since May 2021. I’ve been very gradually reducing and have been on 4mg for 1 month. I take the Pred at about 5am with yoghourt and banana. I had Covid 2 weeks ago. I didn’t up the Pred dose. I have no PMR pain. I feel ok in the mornings but have high anxiety

Feeling cold all the time
Hi, I have scleroderma and reynauds and while I am used to having cold hands and feet of late I am very cold all over, even my core. I was wondering if I might be low on some vitamins or minerals and was hoping someone might be able to advise. Regards, Darren

Is pseudamonas contagious??
Hi, Does anyone know if my pseudamonas could be transmitted to those who live in close proximity? I always thought not but I've been worried about my OH's persistent cough - I know there could be many other reasons for his cough and his recent sputum test was clear but....

Nothing seems to help with cold feet except my heated mat and gloves for my hands.

cellulitis
I’ve been diagnosed today with cellulitis - never had it before and knew nothing about it so it’s all been a bit of a shock. I’ve been prescribed Flucloxacillin but unfortunately, by the time I was discharged from Urgent Care, the hospital pharmacy was closed so I can’t start them until the morning

Saw Cardiologist today, now more anxious than ever.
Hi Everyone Thank you all for your lovely replies to my original post. I saw the cardiologist today and he says he thinks my PH is primarily caused by my asthma/COPD. He didn't put me on any medications at this stage. He wants an ultra sound done on my heart in September [[2 months away!] to compare

Cold Turkey
Hello Everyone, What happens if i just "Cold Turkey" Stop the 6.5 mg of methylprednisolone? I'm so sick of it all. I've gotten very low on meds (even zero for a few days) and the pain and stiffness return so bad i can't function. If i just quit, what's the worst that can happen?

Heart failure and fatigue
I was diagnosed with moderate/severe LV failure earlier this year. I'm now taking 7.5mg bisoprolol, with entrestol 24/26, dapaglyflozine and eplerenone, and been on these doses for about 6 weeks. Although my BP and heartrate has been brought down very well by the heart meds, it's a struggle to keep

PEG vs Aspirational Pneumonia
Mum has reached a new point in her illness and food intake is now causing her to be sick on occasion which is ultimately leading to seizures and a risk of choking. We have been told the only way to ultimately stop this is via a peg or accept that this will eventually lead to her choking getting pneumonia

Low BP in afib and covid
After all the years I have finally caught COVID. Had a headache for a couple of days which has gone now. Not much coughing, just feel a bit achy and weak.Unfortunately, it's sent me into an afib episode although my heart rate is staying below 100bpm in fact it's hovering around 70 to 80bpm. I was concerned

questions
In the summer, I noticed sporadic noises in one ear. It only happened at night, when lying down to sleep. It was almost like a deep and faint squeak. It lasted 2 days and went away. Months later, after developing a sinus cold, it returned. I did not react immediately as I thought it would pass. After

GCA and Cough/Interstitial Lung Disease?
Does anyone with GCA have a dry, sometimes productive, cough? It feels like a bronchial irritation and I cough more when I speak. The cough comes and goes. I read that it is an uncommon symptom of GCA. TB has been ruled out. Chest x-rays show opacities in the base of my lungs. The cough occurs
