first orthotics
disappointed. The podiatrist hardly looked at the foot and spent most of the appointment typing then without any measurements or gait test said he’s ordered me a pair that would arrive by post in the fullness of time. I suspect these will be no better than the well known brand I ordered online and

Steroid tapering
Feeling very unwell especially overnight which is the furthest point in any 24 hours from taking the
steroids
. I realise there will be a delay before my body compensates by making additional cortisol itself and I may have to grit my teeth and get through that.

Advice needed
We've now done 2 FETs with exactly the same protocol (
steroids
/ intralipids / ERA timing / PGT-A normal embryo) as our successful one - and both have been BFN.

I have Inflammatory arthritis, Sjogren's and OA. I have been on Methotrexate and Imraldi since 2017, before that I was on Benepali. I have had a new hip in 2017 and I also suffered with my knees which despite many steroid injections they are no longer having any effect. I saw my rheumatologist

Hip Replacement while on treatment??
My husband, who is in a Clinical Trial at MDA for Richter's, needs a hip replacement badly - such that his severe arthritis is a bigger deal to his quality of life than the Richter's. He saw an orthopedic pain management specialist last week who had nothing to offer, stating that a steroid injection

Struggle to get help for Fibro
I was diagnosed with Polymyalgia Rheumatica just over two years ago and am still taking
steroids
. In November 2021 I tripped and fell and fractured my humerus in 3 places and when I started Physio for this a few months later I noticed I was getting pain in my back.

Could my new statins have upset the Apple cart?
I am due to see a Rheumatologist this week to investigate possible alternative diagnosis of PMR and the arthritis in my thumbs and hands which has probably been concealed by the
steroids
. Also to hopefully put my mind at rest about the pain in my jaw and chin.
