steroids
. Today I have started to wind down the
steroids
as per usual but I still have the tight chest and not sure what to do.

Teeth!
Following three months of intermittent neutropenia,
steroids
and 1 month of Obinutuzumab, just noticed some really marked yellow staining on my teeth, around the gums where you'd expect plaque/bacteria to pool. Slightly horrified as I've been going all out to keep them clean to prevent infection.

So, I conclude
steroids

A sprinkle of Christmas magic & a dash of hope 💫
I just wasn’t willing to accept that, I could see so many errors in each round & I pushed for progesterone testing, possible
steroids
, using aspirin but they just weren’t interested.

Full removal of thyroid and parathyroid anxiety levels very high

Not sure what to do
My GP would like me to decrease my
steroids
as they have increased my BP but I am not keen to do this while still getting pain. Waiting list in our area to see an NHS Rheumatologist is at least 6 months.

prednisolone 3 week course followd by surgery
Hi please can anyone advise how long to wait in between a prednisolone course and surgery ? I have heard from the nurses that if you have an IM steroid injection they postpone surgery for 6 to 8 weeks to allow the imunosuppresant effects to wear off before surgery. my RA consultant seems to think

Long term steroid reduction and skin discoloration
I maintained it had something to do with the reduction of my
steroids
but my consultant did not agree. In February I had to increase my prednisolone to 5mg daily prior to a cataract operation and within a week my legs were back to normal, all discoloration gone.

Risedronate
My age was not cited as the main reason but that I have been on high doses of
steroids
over that last few years . (I know many on here are far higher than me).

Lupus and Asthma

Jak Inhibitors for Eczema
I stopped using all
steroids
5 years ago, withdrawal from them was painful so I am not ever using them again. The derm I saw last week was one of the better ones I have seen and he has suggested a Jak Inhibitor called Olumiant.

Weaning off Prednisolone after miscarriage
Hi Ladies, Sorry for another question, but I have been on 20mg of
Steroids
for 6/7 weeks since my transfer. Sadly my pregnancy ended in a mmc and I have been advised to wean myself off the
steroids
. The clinic haven't been too clear about what that means.

swollen legs with rash and hard lump
fractures due to
steroids
. My mobility is poor. I have wide spread severe pain especially in hips upper legs shoulders lower back. Severe stiffness that is all day. Severe sweats too. Does anyone else have this stiffness and pain so severe high dose fentanyl patches ibuprofen etc is not enough.

Update on my Sirdupla changes
I received a call from the health Centre today to say that the consultant doesn't want me to come off inhaled
steroids
all together. He would like me to swap to the Fostair Nexthaler and keep on my Spiriva. He also wanted to put me on Montelukast to help with the transition.
