Very stiff knees and slightly puffy ankles
I have high BP and the
steroids
make that worse so there is pressure to reduce Pred. I am on quite a lot of BP meds. Thank you for everyone’s help.

Fast forward to recently and in an effort to reduce the number of
steroids
I’m taking, I decided to give it another go. I lasted 4 weeks but have had a similar experience, so stopped about a week ago.

Severe mental reaction to prednisolone
Are there other options that don't involve
steroids
? Any help at all would be such a relief.

Health records diagnosis confusion…..
I am currently fighting a chest infection which has really floored me, on
steroids
and antibiotics and using inhalers when needed……but what really got me when I had to visit my doctors last week for this was that my (ACOS) Asthma COPD overlap syndrome had not been recorded on the system!

Trying to contact a GP
If they would only let me keep an emergency supply of
steroids
I could manage my asthma myself!!

Sudden anxiety attacks and mood swing on first Prednisone taper
I’m still waiting for my rheumatology appointment, but meanwhile the GP prescribed
steroids
that are working well, where all other pain medication was not. So the joint pain is under control. We started tapering my dose to 15mg 5 days ago.

My GCA Update
My doctor just notified me: “Ordered Bactrim 1 tab to be taken M/W/F FOR Infection prophylaxis while on high dose
steroids
.” Is that standard? She also ordered a medicine to protect my stomach from the 60 mg
steroids
: famatodine, 20 mg. Same as Pepcid AC, I think?

Itraconazole.
I ended up needing
steroids
. I’m now on my last two tablets so I just hope I’m going to be ok without them. Apparently it’s a manufactures problem. It is a bit worrying. Is anyone else having the same problem.

Enhertu side effect: pneumonitis (lung inflammation)
Unfortunately this means I have to abandon Enhertu and wait to start any new chemo until the lungs are stabilized through a course of high-dose
steroids
(60 mg Prednisone/day) that will gradually taper off over several weeks.

brand new diagnosis
I start

and immunosuppressants tomorrow. Will I be on those forever? Any advice for any of this? I’m so new and I just don’t know what it all means. Severity, future, etc., etc., etc.

Regular seasonal flare-ups
GP has just this week put me on
steroids
6 x 5mg daily for 5 days. I am then to be tried on Carbocysteine after I complete the
steroids
. Latest blood tests were all "fine". Peak flow on the
steroids
is climbing steadily, but I know it will drop again once I finish.
