Reducing steroids and adrenal symptoms
I’ve recently experienced symptoms which made me think of Pred-induced diabetes. In particular, my metabolism does not seem to adjust properly to food, with post-prandial dips and especially waking up at 3-4am with uncomfortable overheating. But my HbA1c measurement remains around 41, which is just

Flare Up
GP consult yesterday and advised to up
steroids
. Flare up due most likely to with drawing
steroids
to quickly. It will be slower now and every 4 - 6 weeks by 1 mg. Hopefully that will do the trick.

If
steroids
are bad for treating flare-ups, what about the
steroids
used in ocrevus? I've had 9 ocrevus infusions...what do I use for a relapse or flare-up? My neuro is not on the steroid bandwagon to stop a relapse because of the damage to bones.. this is a lose-lose situation.

GCA and PMR
I’m worried sick about taking so many
steroids
just wondered if anyone else has been in this situation. I’ve also been signed off work for a month and I’m sure my boss doesn’t believe there’s anything wrong with me.

feeling blue
I have never been this heavy in my life, and have had a lot of
steroids
in the few months. I’m wondering whether to give up until I’m off the
steroids
. Any advice appreciated.

Eyesight and Steroids
I've not mentioned this to the doctor yet, as when I googled
steroids
and vision it was actually more focused on
steroids
making eyesight worse - so wondered whether anybody else had experienced improved eyesight before I see the Dr for a catch up next week. Any input is appreciated.

steroids
I’m at end stage emphysema have just come off a dose of prednisone. Felt halfway human and motivated to do small jobs around the house. It felt so good just to make us both a cup of tea What is the reason why GPS are against giving a small does daily just to be able to have some quality of life. Thankyou

Travelling whilst taking steroids
Anyway, the reason for writing is that I am doing well with my reduction of
steroids
. I am now down to 4mg and don't want to spoil it... I really am feeling well at the moment. Can anyone tell me how I manage my intake with the time difference?

Steroids and Phlegm Samples
Hi, Does anyone know if it is ok to start a course of
steroids
, before giving a sample of phlegm. I took a course of antibiotics a few weeks ago and didn't feel the infection was totally cleared up, but I'm very reluctant to start a second course without knowing if I have an infection, or not.

Medication prescribed alongside prednisolone
I have been prescribed
steroids
for my most recent transfer. Fortunately I was lucky enough to get a positive this morning on test day. I was prescribed lansoprazole a PPI to protect stomach whilst taking the
steroids
. My husband has gone to collect top up meds to cover me for the next 3 weeks.

Chronic Fatigue with PMR
Could anybody please clarify is it the inflammation related to PMR or is it the
Steroids
(Preds) that cause this very debilitating fatigue and brain fog? Thanking you

Asthma flare ups
I do get perfect relief from the
steroids
, but after a couple of weeks the asthma rears it`s ugly head again. I wonder if the inhaler could be changed to give better results as the Docs seem very reluctant about
steroids
.

Metabolic symptoms at 3am
I am a 71 year old man with a handful of issues including Polymyalgia Rheumatica (taking
steroids
). Partly because of the
steroids
, my A1c is running borderline at 41. Thanks
