Mood and sleep disturbance on longterm steroids- useful article, page 1
I had no idea that
steroids
can make it hard to regulate mood and feel motivated. A psychologist specialising in the area explains how this happens and suggests ways we might be able to counter those effects.

first respiratory appt tips please
I’ve had 3 exacerbations in the last year, 2 of which needed
steroids
. Between the 2nd & 3rd (Aug - Nov) I continued to cough and coughed most days until about 4 weeks. I’ve had a normal chest X-ray and spirometry was pretty normal too. Thanks.

Coughing again ...
Really don't want
steroids
again as they give me heartburn and an increased heart rate and am wondering if it is actually asthma or something else? Any advice gratefully received ...

How to relieve pain
I’m day 5 of
steroids
and taking coco Damon plus heat pads. Movement in morning is most painful. Even during the day the smallest movement can hurt,

Hot flushes returned since PMR diagnosis
I wonder if it’s the condition or the
steroids
that cause it ? I was lucky and apart from the hot flushes and a few night sweats I didn’t have any after major symptoms of the menopause.

GCA & polymyalgia rheumatica
All medical attention has been focussed on
steroids
& methotrexate etc. throughout. Now, at the age of 75 I am finding that the severe limiting effects of the polymyalgia is even more life limiting than GCA. Has anyone else found this? Is there any real help out there?

I have had no return of symptoms and know I will be on
steroids
for a some years (GP has been very firm on that) . My query is .....is it too early to go to 12 mg ? I'm just wary of a return to symptoms. Thanks for all advice on this site.

Inflammatory reaction to sugar and carbohydrate ?
That was before I was diagnosed and given
steroids
. I’ve now tried coming off
steroids
for about 3 weeks and I’m finding that sugar and carbohydrate can make me feel fluey after about 20 minutes. Food like marmalade on brown toast, maybe a little too much honey on yoghurt.

anti NMDA encephalitis
He had the
steroids
, the plasma exchange but it was the Rituximab that finally got it sorted. I’m just looking to connect with anyone that has suffered with it or their families?! We don’t have a big support network and appointments with professionals, surprisingly, seem so few and far between.

Vitamin K2
I take methotrexate,
steroids
and other meds so I don’t want the strongest K2 but one I can absorb without a problem. I have been on risedronate for two years but dexa scan had not improved. I try and walk a little and have stairs in house. Thank you. J

Diet and arthritis
I have now successfully tapered off my
steroids
and I am feeling much better and more like my old self. I am not eating wheat or pork. You don't have to buy the book, though it is an interesting read.

Bitter Taste In Mouth
If
steroids
are causing this bitter taste in my mouth, what are your thoughts on going onto Hydrocortisone instead? Best wishes to you all

COVID Vaccination
Today is day 11 of
steroids
and I’m feeling I’ve gone backwards. Gp had said it was ok to have the jab but I’m not so sure.
