good news and bad all in 1 week
The good news my Rhumy told me my GCA is in remission, My Endo told me my adrenal glands were shot so got to stay on
steroids
for rest of my life, Then my Neurologist diagnosed me with cluster headaches no cure just more bloody pills and injections and a great big oxygen bottle in the house just to cheer

Meniscus tear/PMR flare update
The senior GP is obviously one of those who are frightened of
steroids
and wants me off them regardless of any pain I have. I just hope I have built up enough of a supply of pred 🤞

change of meds
The dose of
steroids
did the trick and I was sent home after a week in hospital. I was on hydroxychloroquine for lupus for ten years or so but because I have been so unwell he has decided to change my medication to Mycophenolate. At present Iam taking both as Iam weened off the
steroids
.

Health records diagnosis confusion…..
I am currently fighting a chest infection which has really floored me, on
steroids
and antibiotics and using inhalers when needed……but what really got me when I had to visit my doctors last week for this was that my (ACOS) Asthma COPD overlap syndrome had not been recorded on the system!

Is all the extra medication needed?
I do have hypothyroidism ( years and no problems), but do have quite high BP partially probably due to
steroids
. So I am on 2 lots of BP medication.

PMR relapse?
Really don't know what to do as hated being on
steroids
before (numerous side effects). But docs and literature I've read all states negative blood tests exclude PMR. Any advice would be very much appreciated.

Venting about my latest flare
Plus I hate being on
steroids
as they bring about a whole host of their own problems. I thought if I was taking my meds and doing my due diligence I could ward off flares, but it appears that that's not the case after all :(

reaction to rituximab
This time the GP prescribed antihistamine and
steroids
and antibiotics and referred me urgently to Dermatology having sent a photo, saw Rheumatology consultant who did the same.

rheumatoid arthritis
I’m on (tocilizumab) and Methotrexate injections once a week plus 10 mg
steroids
. I’ve had lots of falls because of my knee giving way. I’m trying to build up my muscles but finding this difficult because I’ve got a tear in shoulder from previous fall.

Tapering again.
The
steroids
seem not to make a difference. So, this morning I took 9.5 mgs, intending a very slow taper down to 9mg (all being well). It's at this point I become confused. Do I do 9.5mgs x2 next week if I've managed the small drop, or do I stick to 9.5 mg x1 per week for 4 weeks.

Really struggling - Tocilzumab/Pred
Steroids
into the bone and tendon failed to ease it. Could the fact a part of my body is in a constant state of inflammation aggravate my RA? After many years on Etanecept before it stopped working, I can’t get on any respite unless I up the
steroids
again.
