Declined lupus Centre help
Hi all, hope you're all doing as well as you can be. Just thought I'd give you an update on something that went from being so hopeful to now being left to struggle once again. If you know my previous posts just before Christmas I'd had a steroid injection and was waiting to see professor D'cruz in London

Dexa scan
I was told by my GP that I “might as well” take it when started on
Steroids
. I hated the ritual of having to get up earlier on the day I had to take it and then when I read various things on here I really felt I didn’t need it. I’ve had to wait 4 months since I asked to be referred.

From January through to July 2022 I had recurrent throat and chest infections so went round the circle of antibiotics so having to come off the meds etc Eventually the Nurse Practitioner realised it was recurrent oral thrush due to the
steroids

This pattern wasn't crystal clear then or after returning home because I was so full of antibiotics,
steroids
and who knows what else. I couldn't tell anymore what was causing what. Since arriving home, I'd at least been able to return to good food and care, and I was thinking clearer.

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.

Feeling poorly

I sometimes wake up with sweat around my neck and chest. The steroid injection I had 13 days ago helped a bit to decrease the intensity of pain but it hasn

I’m scared
I need to stay on
steroids
now for longer and then reduce more slowly. My blood tests are all good and I feel well but this has scared me . I should have asked more questions

for 2 years and welcome ways to reduce dose and alternatives.

GP appointment and blood tests - will recent steroid injection skew results?
Afternoon everyone, I had a GP appointment yesterday to discuss my symptoms. Went through everything that has happened since the summer. She sent me for blood tests today which included CRP, ESR, Rheumatoid factor and various other tests relating to autoimmune conditions. She insisted I call back for

what next?
I was diagnosed with PMR five years ago and my gp kept me on Prednisolone for two years which resulted in a catalogue of side effects including glaucoma and cataracts. My diagnosis was confirmed as RA shortly after. I have been taking methotrexate successfully since. However my condition has worsened

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.

PMR symptoms after steroid injection 12 days ago
Happy New Year everyone. I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas .🎄 I posted just before Christmas about awful shoulder and neck pain and that I saw a private doctor who thinks my symptoms are PMR. He gave me a steroid injection. It has helped dampen down the pain. It was excruciating but has since

steroid injection
Hi everyone Happy New Year to you all. Can anyone answer my question if it's safe to have a steroid injection for frozen shoulder if you have open angle glaucoma? Don't know what to do. Many thanks in advance.
