Polymyalgia
For my age 87 I don't have too much wrong with me except for the "P" word but the
steroids
had taken their toil on my bones as I have osteoarthritis and fracture in my T12 and 2 more mild ones in my end plates at L2 &5 ....

adalimubab
I have also been on varying doses of
steroids
both injection and oral for most of the year. Currently on 7.5mg daily. I feel the Adalimubab is having very little effect and every time steroid is weaned done the flare starts.

Swollen lymph nodes in neck
Followed my asthma plan, had oral
steroids
and ABs and was ill for 2 weeks. Completely recovered now, peak flow back to normal then woke up with swollen glands (left side only) on Sunday. Apart from a stiff neck and nodes that are tender, I have no other symptoms at all, not even a sore throat.

steroids
. Told just need routine blood test at GP surgery.

Steroid tapering
I was diagnosed with PMR January 2023 my initial response to
steroids
was like a miricle...My journey has been very rocky with trying to reduce
steroids
and 7 mg seems to be my sticking point.

Is it tapering or adrenals?
I'm a bit better now I've rested all day.Do you think I just need to up my
steroids
for a couple of days(I've been on 4.5mg Prednisolone for 2 weeks now after a very slow taper? I have LVV and PMR and I also take 20mg Methotrexate weekly.)

Sleep aids
Realise there are likely to be a number of replies through various posts, but be good to hear what works for people on this thread if possible. ..on another note are
steroids
likely to spike tinnitus?

After 25 days back on prednisone...
Last week my C-rp was 3, down from 6 before returning to
steroids
. ESR was 23, down from 63. Will have regular bloods to keep track. Full glucose bloods showed possibly pre diabetic, have taken immediate steps to cut processed sugar from diet. Am life long vegetarian with a sweet tooth!

Re-occurring Alcoholic Hepatitis
My partner has had 3 in past 2.5 years, each time going yellow and requiring a prescription of
steroids
with a weeks stay in hospital. Unfortunately he will not give up the drink (a decision he has made despite our pleas and commitment to try and get him to see sense).

Travel
Morning all, hope you can help me , I'm travelling to Kenya in November I've just seen on the government website that if your taking
steroids
ie prednisolone you maynot be able to have the yellow fever vaccination. Is this correct has anyone travelled to Kenya with this issue.

help with the mental health side of vasculitis
Released from hospital a week ago with
steroids
to take. Rest for a few days the rash starts to fade and I can walk again fine and then I overdo it even just from being out and sitting down with no more than an hour up and I find myself completely covered again not being able to walk.

Head MRI
I've been on prednisolone to help the plexopathy, which coincidentally helped the other symptoms noted above, sadly I'm now off the
steroids
and things are declining again.

A few developments - anybody got similar
Secondly it looks might I may need to go back onto
steroids
, not Prednisolone but Hydrocortisone. I have been feeling a bit dodgy in a morning if I don’t get enough sleep and if I get stressed (fortunately not very often) I feel a bit unwell.

Stopping Actemra
High dose
steroids
are one of the drugs in the chemical cocktail I will be on plus a different biologic, a protease inhibitor and perhaps other drugs. So, the Actemra will just be too much. My bone marrow is making a protein that is destroying my kidneys.

Overdoing it?
Between starting
Steroids
in July 2023 and going on holiday in November I had put on a stone and got sluggish and I was still tired and inactive. Three weeks' warm sunshine and some peace and quiet and I lost half a stone and got to regularly swimming a mile a day and clocking 10,000 steps.

steroids
to try to bring my inflammatory markers down (they started at 132).
