Is it the Shingles vaccination or Prednisone reduction?
Could it be simply the fact of asking my body to deal with the vaccine at the same time as reducing
steroids
cause this reaction?

an update on dealing with my flare - lightbulb moment
I had regressed to the ‘putting up with the pain’ mentality I had utilised before diagnosis for the sake of ‘getting off the
steroids
’. No more - the continuing taper journey will give more acknowledgement to symptoms rather than numbers.

PMR/ Hypothroidism
I had PMR and was totally let down by doctors at surgery, I managed to wean slowly off
steroids
myself, after 2 years and I’ve been medication free for 8 months!!! However, I wanted to have inflammatory markers checked, had discomfort in shoulder my markers were the best they’ve ever been!

Rescue pack
Has anyone noticed a difference in recovery time for chest infection following the reduction in antibiotics and
steroids
in rescue pack from 7 days to 5, 2 flare ups have resulted in needing 2 lots of rescue pack.

Severe Eosinophilic Asthma
My husband has been very incapacitated by this since March 2020 which came on suddenly and has not improved since then despite continuous
steroids
, inhalers and trying the latest injections. He’s had to pack up his business and still cannot walk 10 yards without breathlessness .

Help Please 🙏🏻
Thankfully the Rheumatology Nurse rang the next day, spoke to my Rheumatologist and git a six week course of
steroids
emailed to the pharmacy for me. Within two weeks I was walking so much better and at the end of six weeks my pain had eased considerably.

Afib, inflammation and NSAIDs
If there is any way I could come off DOACs I would love to so I could take NSAIDs again once I am off the
steroids
. In my previous posts I have stated that my Afib has never been confirmed, and I have never had any symptoms. I am wondering if NSAIDs might also help with Afib?

Sort of flu
I have been very slowly reducing
steroids
and am down to 0.5 mg. I’ve been getting shooting pains in one knee and have painful fingers, I’ve never had these particular symptoms before! I don’t know if pmr is flaring up, and am wondering whether to up the steroid dose, and if so what to?

Biologics
They’re saying the high doses of inhaled
steroids
are the cause of my infections, but I’m colonised with pseudomonas and have nebulised antibiotics to keep under control.

Anyone with behcet's taking rinvoq?
Since starting rinqov I've successfully reduced my
steroids
to a low level 2.5mg daily. Hopefully will come off completely soon but I'm really feeling the tapering drops even by 0.5 mgs every 4 weeks. Interested to hear if anyone else is on it!
