Adalimumab - does it need tapering?
Does adalimumab need to be tapered like
steroids
? Or can one stop it if the desired effect of bringing down the inflammation is not achieved?

A glass of wine??
Whilst all info PMR and
steroids
state avoid alcohol, I am no lush but do love my six o’clock tipple. Since being diagnosed I have completely gone off red wine 😳😳 however Rose seems fine and apparently has many anti- inflammatory benefits and more reservatol.

Hives and reducing pred
I’ve had terrible itchy hives on my arms, back, chest and neck for weeks now which is just not getting any better, it started from heat rash whilst on holiday in the summer. I’ve had a small amount of relief from antihistamines (Fexofenadine 180mg) and 2 weeks of Eumovate steroid cream and I’m slathering

Chondocalcitis incurable?
At least that's how I think it's spelt. It's a specialised form of RA and I have it in my left knee (along with normal RA in shoulders, elbows, wrists and fingers.It's also called Pseudogout but as the crystals in Chondocalcitis are calcium they can't be dispersed as the uric acid crystals in ordinary

Getting Off of Painkillers
I started seeing a pain management doctor about 4 years ago for severe lower back pain.

Anyone on biologics and suffering leg ulcers
Due to being on
steroids
and antiplatelets, as well as Benepali and MTX, the skin tear didn’t reattach. I now have a leg ulcer, as well as another on my shin, caused by my nail ripping my skin, when taking my leggings off.

Medications that reduce an overactive bladder
A friend, who is not on
steroids
, has just been diagnosed with an overactive bladder and has been prescribed solifenacin (Vesicare) and says she no longer gets up at night. I just wondered if anyone else suffers and has been prescribed the same or similar medication and finds it works.

Lupkynis approved in Switzerland to treat adults with lupus nephritis
Findings suggested that Lupkynis helped preserve kidney function when given alongside mycophenolate mofetil and low-dose
steroids
(well-established anti-inflammatory therapies for lupus), without substantially increased safety risks.

Recap on Intense pain post
I’ve had a CT in Fall of 2019 indicating a couple of bulging discs. Spinal stenosis, s curve scoliosis. I’ve tried chiropractic treatments as well as acupuncture, acupressure and meditate several times a day. I’ve been cautioned by my primary care physician who has a DO ( osteopathic medical degree).

Anyone had back (muscle) spasms? Is it linked to PMR?
I'm wondering if it is linked to the PMR or
steroids
because it has left me with weak muscles?

Weaning off steroids causing mood changes?
Afternoon all, I am on 7mg
steroids
at the moment and I have been weaning off
steroids
steadily for about a year or more I would say. I have been on
steroids
for over 4 years now. I have been as low as 5.5mg before.

We've now done 2 FETs with exactly the same protocol (

/ intralipids / ERA timing / PGT-A normal embryo) as our successful one - and both have been BFN.

Hello Again. Has anyone had an epidural steroid injection for shingles pain? I am scheduled for one and I'm scared. I have had trigger point injections in the past, but those go into muscle where this would go to the nerves that shingles infect. This doctor is very good at what she does so I have no
