steroids
are doing their job and keeping the pain at bay Any tips for crippling insomnia.....

Rescue pack of prednisolone- when to start using them
Having never had a rescue pack of
steroids
before, I am not sure whether I should start taking them now. I know I should probably take a sputum sample into my GP tomorrow (Monday morning) to see if I need antibiotics but in other people's options, should I start taking the
steroids
today?

Vasculitis Treatment 2
Hello, tomorrow I have my 2nd vasculitis treatment (high-dose
steroids
plus rituximab) and just wondering if there is much difference between the 1st and 2nd treatment in terms of reactions and side effects? Grateful for any feedback, thank you.

Covid recovery and steroids
using the dsns method I had got down to 0.5 mg
steroids
in December but then I got covid. The first symptoms that I experienced were like a pmr flare. I increased the
steroids
to 5 mg . After two weeks of slow recovery I then went rapidly downhill and went to the doctor.

Steam inhaler recommendation
On the mend now with help of antibiotics and
steroids
. I have COPD and Asthma and for the past couple of years if I get a bad cold or some virus it always goes to my chest and Sinus and I end up struggling and needing antibiotics and
steroids
to recover.

2x Emergency Steroids in one month
I went to the dr on Tuesday and he was reluctant to prescribe me anything because I'd just had a course of
steroids
but I was back again today and, for the first time in my memory, my PF was at 50%, my O2 wouldn't go above 95% and I had that elusive wheeze 🥳 so I'm back on
steroids
and also antibiotics

Swollen red cheek andslight jaw pain on one side.
Great improvement on
steroids
. Yesterday she had slight jaw pain and this morning her face is red and swollen. Could this be a flare. She is on 20mg per day of prednisolone.

Hi I have PMR ( diagnosed in April this year ) My rheumatologist gave me a steroid injection 3 weeks ago in shoulder for pain ( she was reluctant for me to go back on oral preds because I’m diabetic type 2 ) Anyway the
steroids
reduced the pain for a short while . Then it was agony !

Tapering experience
Maybe it takes a much larger dose of
steroids
to bring it under control and a slower taper to manage the ongoing illness. I appreciate your thoughts.

Long term predisolone
I was on mycophenloate and then rituximab but have been advised that just
steroids
will be my recommended medication to control my symptoms now, as I’ve had so many infections over the last few years, so not to have further rituximab.
