Question re:- White blood cell count
So my question is , having reduced the
steroids
and the ESR is remaining normal, is it likely that the White Blood Cell count which was high on initial dose of 25 mg and then dropped when I was taking 20mg is likely to have dropped further now I am on 15mg.

appointment
yesterday I saw my new rheumatologist and her advice was for me to start reducing my
steroids
by 1 mg per month until I get down to 5 mg ( I am currently on 11 mg a day and have been reducing by half a mg each month) then 1 mg every 2 months.

Covid causing Asthma flare
I've found that box breathing is helpful to ease my symptoms and I've started to take my rescue pack of
steroids
and I'm hoping that it will ease things a bit.

Hi! Just joined. Is there MG-lite?
I've lived with atopic dermatitis and multiple allergies all my life, which are controlled with local
steroids
, antihistamines and emollients. My mother had ankylosing spondylitis. Those facts, and my good response to prednisolone, convince me I have a autoimmune disease.

Vasculitis/Tocilizumab
I have posted before regarding the fact that after a year on
steroids
and having many side effects I was told to reduce them by 1mg a month. My rheumatologist did not think I had PMR (diagnosed originally by GP).

Allergic Asthma
Due to all the inhaled
steroids
I now have a small sqeeky strangled sounding voice rather than the deep voice I used to have. So I take Montelucast, Fexofenadine, Spiriva, Citrazine, Dymista, Symbicourt and lots of good old Salbutamol.

I have had one successful pregnancy but was on
steroids
and a small dose of Levothyroxine. Does anyone know if there are any ways to lower my antibodies without
steroids
again? Thanks for advice anyone has to share!

PMR flare and Pred advice please
I was aware of the amounts of stress hitting me due to these events but was reluctant to increase the dose any more as the
steroids
have been causing me so many side effects , esp. feeling on edge and super anxious , (horrible) .

Severe Degenerative Arthritis and Osteoporosis
I have lupus and other autoimmune conditions and have taken
steroids
for many years. This was thought to have partly contributed towards the cause of my osteoporosis. But has taking
steroids
for two decades also increased the chance of degenerative arthritis.? Is there a connection?.

Prednisolone Advice. You could be stuck with me for a while!
From my perspective.....if these
steroids
do work then it's something I suppose I'm pleased about.....The Rheumatologist felt it was the best worst case scenario for me and with the support of this group I'm hopeful that I will get through this....

inflammation in eyes
I was told the cataract are easy to fix but today the doctor told me she won’t fix them as if the inflammation comes back the
steroids
will cause complications with the new lens.

I just want to understand what is going on.What i would like to discuss is my GP has told me to reduce the

any one had to stop work due to health?
I’ve just had a year off during which I had a craniotomy and RT as well as dealing with taking
steroids
for GCA which isn’t helping! I have just started a phased return to work. Work have been amazing and my return is very flexible. However, I don’t know if I can do it.

PMR and the effect on mental health.
I first thought it was a side effect of
steroids
( I am currently on 9mg and reducing 1/4 every 10 days minimum) but, now I feel it may be PMR and its effect on my mental health.
