Hello
I have started taking
steroids
and naproxen but still struggle in the mornings and wake up in the night with severe pain in my hands and ankle's. I have joined NRAS to help me understand where I am and where I am going, there is no pattern to the pain and it is a struggle to stay positive.

High dose Prednisolone and effects
My problem is the treatment, i.e
steroids
, is making me ill in other ways, completely spaced out, jittery, fatigue, confusion, need to sleep, nausea and bloating, has anyone else struggled with this, does it get easier or do have to live like this until steroid dose comes down below 15mg?

Increasing dose again
GP no help, haven't seen him since before lockdown and last phone conversation 18 months ago when he told me he wanted me off
steroids
asap. Don't bother contacting him as I'll only get the same advice again. Thank goodness for the sensible advice and support of this group.

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.

Diabetic Macular Ischemia
I can’t have
steroids
as I am a steroid responder. I also have PSC and nuclear cataracts and phacomorphic glaucoma with primary angle closure I also have narrow angles and I am a high myope. I am a long way off being the age of retirement as well.

paxclovid
They told me to take Paxclovid for 5 days but not to take any
steroids
during that time. Now slightly panicked as I'm feeling pretty rough anyway. I'm on 4 mgs currently and decreasing slowly to 3.5. Should I take the meds and cut out
steroids
? Seems rather drastic. Thanks

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

Metaxalone.
I was diagnosed with PMR September 2023 but I'm unable to have
steroids
. Due to a heart condition I'm also unable to have Immuno suppresants. My Rheumy has now prescribed Metaxalone for pain relief.

A good Rheumatologist visit!
She said an ultrasound would likely not be useful if I'm asymptomatic & on
steroids
but that she would do one if symptoms return/as part of other tests that can't be done until after tapering off
steroids
. My treatment is unchanged, though now under her supervision.

Steroid protocol - how long did you stay on steroids?
Hi all, happy new year to you all, hope everyone's doing ok ❤️ I'm wondering how long people were instructed to stay on
steroids
? We were lucky enough to get our first ever BFP on our first donor egg transfer before Christmas.

steroids & diabetes
And I think the
steroids
caused it . My Gp told me off as my HCb 1a was far too high . I explained I’d been on
steroids
. I am worried incase I end up type 1 diabetes! And should I refuse
steroids
if doctors want me to take them ?

Acute pericarditis following 1 high steroid dose.
Since then nothing until now. 2 days ago I was prescribed a high dose of prednisone
steroids
(60mg per day) for an unrelated ear condition (noise induced tinnitus).

Biopsy Negative for GCA
The vascular surgeon doesn’t seem to have much faith in rheumatologists as he said they do lots of tests and just give you
steroids
. He mentioned there are new biological meds out there.. Has anyone heard of any biological meds? Can you have a negative GCA biopsy and still have GCA?

Pregnancy and steriods
So opted for
steroids
(40mg) and the usual subutomal. This didn’t open up the airways BUT it made me violently sick there up green and yellow mucus. Within minutes I felt better! I was discharged with a steroid pump and more oral prednisone.

Evenity
I have Addison disease and had to take
steroids
for this. I have developed osteoporosis and my doctor want me to start the evenity shots. I am very concerned about the safety of this drug.
