ADVICE PLEASE
Are these other drugs just as bad as
steroids
- i.e. substitute one bad drug for another bad drug. Your advice will be very much appreciated.

Fostair and steroids
Is it ok to continue with the Fostair whilst on the
steroids
? I’d upped the puffs to 2 puffs x3 a day before I was given the
steroids

not feeling to great.
I doubled my
steroids
as recommended by my adrenal help nurse. Forgot to ask how to reduce. I know I can go straight back to original dose after a week. If on a higher dose for 2 weeks or more do you have to taper off slowly? Appreciate advice

Unwelcome Relapse
As you will know from one of my recent posts I had managed to get down to 4 and a half mg after more than 3 years on
Steroids
starting at 15 mg. I stayed at that level for 3 months, feeling OK and thinking that it might be time to drop down to 4mg.

High volume, advanced metastatic prostate cancer
He was treated with palliative radiation and a hormone blocker bicalutamide,
steroids
(that was for about 3-4 months), and a shot he takes twice a year. First hormone blocker was great and we got about 8 months out of it.

PMR on top of Heart Failure
Steroids
cleared the PMR symptoms within 4 days of starting and it would have been a lot less of an issue if it had been diagnosed sooner. Outcome is that I have lost some muscle bulk and breathlessness, caused by LVSD and low EF, went back to how it was 10 years ago after my incident.

Tennis... Elbows....anyone...? Sudden onset..?
So, I conclude
steroids
did work ( therapeutically) for my hands...and elbow nerves / tendons...? As it was locally injected...? But not my feet..? Has anyone ever had such a weird set of symptoms..? I realise I might have a combination of medical issues here.

telephant consult
Doctor asked what dose of
steroids
are you on? 2.25 mg daily I said. So, you are on 2 25mg? It just went downhill from there

Update on my Dexa Scan.
I presume this means use of
steroids
? Very confused with that as when the scan was done in May I had only used a 15 day course of
steroids
once since being diagnosed in 2004. I don’t think these scores need me to start medication so I’m very relieved. Is the Fracture risk high at 24.9%?

macular oedema and cataracts
I said to her that I am on long term
steroids
for my polymyalgia rheumatica. She looked at my cataracts, said they were moderate but would refer me to the cataract clinic. 2 weeks later I got a pre op assessment and am on the list for cataract removal to be done in about 2 to 3 months.

Breathlessness
I am sure that I don't have an infection and the antibiotics and
steroids
are making no difference. I am generally not a person who suffers with breathlessness. I keep getting negative Covid results to. I wonder if there is something in the air or if this unusual weather is making a difference?

RA and Microscopic Colitis
But I take immuno suppressants and
steroids
so am wondering if this maybe affects the results- I also had an endoscopy but was told the biopsy was inconclusive for coeliac) Has anyone with RA and Microscopic Colitis decided to follow a gluten free diet and had positive results?
