hip stiffness
Advice please as I don’t want to increase the
steroids
if it’s considered unnecessary but I don’t want to be adding to the “dripping tap”

Symbicort 100/6 to 200/6
I think the theory is, it's better to have a little more steroid every day rather than the short sharp courses of
steroids
(I had 5 course of pred last year). Thanks for any input.

Hello all - 71 years old and hoping to run!
Now at 71, I've got various health problems and have put on a stone plus from taking
steroids
daily for 18 months. So, I have started Coach to 5k again, but Ive only done my first run 4 days ago. I got pain in my legs, hips and lower back after only 4 x 60 second runs.

symptoms 7 weeks post stopping steroids
Good morning all, I stopped my
steroids
7 weeks ago after 4 years, all very slowly. It’s all been good but started to some aches and pains a couple of weeks ago.

Dr Mackie is looking for pople willing to try Methotrexate for her STERLING PMR study
As above, she is looking for people who have PMR, don’t have GCA, and have had trouble tapering their
steroids
. And would be ok in principle to consider trying methotrexate. They would have to be local or able to travel to Leeds.

She has told me to stop the pred once my 2 week prescription is finished and I hadn’t been on the
steroids
long enough to need to reduce slowly. I’m going on holiday next week and not too happy about stopping abruptly. Any advice ?

NHS On The Ball As Ever, Not.
Anyway it was decided after lots of tests it was an exacerbation of my asthma, I was treated with a nebuliser,
steroids
and a stronger inhaler and released. Fast forward to this week and I got a phone call from the surgery inviting me for an asthma review, something I havent had in years.

tooth extraction - Pred increase?
Should I increase my
Steroids
for a few days? I’m also on Xaralto (blood thinners) for Atrial Fibrilation, I’m considering missing the one dose due to be taken Thursday evening (apparently they have a 24 hour span in my blood) hence the taking of one per day. Advice appreciated - thank you

Newly diagnosed PMR
on
steroids
. Is my dose too low to cover me for 24hrs or is this just natural that they can’t be effective for 24hrs? I am 53 and otherwise healthy. I drink very little alcohol but do smoke. I eat very little sugar but do overindulge in carbs. I am conscious I need to address this.

Does asthma severity tend to reflect that of sinuses?
One of my issues is anxiety - I missed my nasal steroid last night to give my nose a break as the
steroids
are always drying it out. I still took the antihistamine and momtelukast. Through the day I got the familiar tingle and fullness in my sinuses m.

Leukoplakia, is it autoimmune?
Reading up about this suggests that it may be another autoimmune condition, in which case might it go away of its own accord now I'm on
steroids
for PMR?
