I have the appointment on Thursday and am really worried in case they won’t give me
steroids
and another holiday will be ruined because of my plodding walking and aching body. Has anyone else been given
steroids
when they’ve had a negative blood test??

Just manage the exacerbations with a short course of oral
steroids
. it seems still that not many people are offered this medication, not many professionals seem to have heard about it either, which is why I am sharing my experience of taking it on here.

Having been up and down trying to taper off
steroids
which was very hard my consultant has agreed to keep me on them for 12 months which I’m over joyed about as they’ve helped me so much, wish they’d agreed to them years ago. Rash on my face has gone, I’m going make up free!

How long can a asthma episode last?
She had 10 days of
steroids
and 10 days of antibiotics for a chest infection. As you can imagine she is shacking. We have been to the doctors twice, oxygen level been good at 97. I mentioned if they just gave her a NEB the wheeze would go but as we all know they don’t give NEBS anymore 🙄

Wound healing thoughts?
No-one here wil be suprised to learn that no doctor has examined it, and the practice nurses who've done the dressing have no advice to add in relation to
steroids
or my general health. Any thoughts, advice, tips would be welcome Thanks x

Immunology when using donor eggs
I think I'm quite worried that most clinics spoke to do not offer immunes treatment other than low dose
steroids
and clexane. I had tests which showed high NK cells and cytokines and had tried intralipids and IVIG to address it (to be fair, my transfer still didn't work in spite of using them).

Asthma Appointment
The worrying thing for me was that she told me I'm taking
steroids
too often and that I could develop diabetes and is refusing to prescribe me another rescue pack.

Specialist wanted me off
steroids
as quick as I could as it mask so much . So I achieved in six months going from 15mil to 5mil . Never have I endured so much pain . I need a rest before I go to zero . My question is I had severe swelling in feet & upper leg that's painful & making walking hard.

Check your Thyroid
Took a month of
steroids
- no change. Hands shaking, tingly fingers and feet, balance was off, really struggling at work and a friend told me to go back to my GP - later told me she thought it was Parkinson’s.

Tinnitus and high dose inhaled steroids
Does anyone know of research into high dose inhaled
steroids
and tinnitus. I have heard anecdotal evidence from people with asthma, but haven’t found anything online. I’d be interested because my tinnitus came on very suddenly and coincided with a change to higher dose steroid inhaler.

Almost there
"The
steroids
have a fantastic success rate with almost immediate effect. One of cheapest to produce and great sales." Fair enough, it is business and commerce I thought whilst commissioning his wonderfully designed eco efficient heating system, to serve the swimming pool and house.
