Is this a lupus rash?
This year I’ve had 2 courses of
steroids
. I am also on hydroxychloroquine which I’ve been on for 10 years now. In June I started on methotrexate. I have a phone call tomorrow with the rheumatologist nurse. Is it worth asking to see a dermatologist?

Satisfactory Rheumatology Appointment
My regular rheumatologist referred me to her colleague, who unfortunately was extremely antagonist, unsympathetic, obnoxious and seemed totally void of any real or meaningful understanding of PMR or
steroids

Lansoprazole - reducing dose
Hi I have been on lansprazole 30mg since starting
steroids
3 years ago. I am now down to 2mg
steroids
and want to reduce ppi as I have started having problems with digestion ( I think mainly fats) and diarrhoea some days, so I am losing too much weight, as I'm not eating properly.

Immune Responses + Autoimmune Myelofibrosis
There is a form of myelofibrosis that is called Autoimmune Myleofibrosis (AUMF) for which
steroids
are an effective treatment if the condition is identified and treated soon enough. Search pubmed for this and you will see many papers going back 20 years.

late diagnosis-too old?
They prescribed a course of
steroids
which helped but the pain returned as soon as he finished them. He is waiting for a steroid injection into the wrist but now has covid. Covid seems to have exacerbated his pains. Did Covid cause a flare up for any of you?

He is currently on a high does of
steroids
(has been for 3 weeks) this all started back in April when I noticed his urine was a strange colour, luckily no other symptoms just some swelling since being on the
steroids
. They were treating him before the biopsy for post infection glomerulonephritis.

Further Advice on raised CRP Levels and tight leg muscles
I don’t want to yo yo or keep flaring but the
steroids
weaken muscles so increasing them doesn’t help the musculoskeletal problems. I have another blood test booked in 3 weeks.

Pred Side Effects, Tapering & Returning to work
I’m convinced these are due to the
steroids
, as I didn’t have these before the diagnosis. I did have the immobility, pains, blood inflammations and rapid response to Pred. I recognise the need to not rush tapering and I’m keen to get back to work.

when to call your neurologist
I contacted my neurologist a few months ago and they (the Pa) ordered a 3 day round of
steroids
which didn’t help at all. I called them back and they referred me to an ophthalmologist who then referred me to another ophthalmologist who specializes in eye realignment procedures.

Does RA exist in the hips?
I think he thought I wanted a steroid high as he told me that bodybuilders take
steroids
to make themselves feel good! Apart from the fact that they are Anabolic
steroids
, they take them to heal quickly so as to train harder.
