VERTEBROPLASTY OP WENT FINE - SO FAR, SO GOOD
Steroids
were only discussed briefly with the nurse who called and said "oh
steroids
are not a problem". She didn't know what a hydrocortisone cover was. To hopefully avoid a flare, I increased the Pred from 16 to 20 for last couple of nights.

Colonoscopy
Hi I’m due a colonoscopy next week and wondered what other people have done about their
steroids
. The prep leads to bowel evacuation. I’m currently on 7.5 msg. Would it be worth doubling the dose or upping it to 10mgs a few days beforehand? Any tips gratefully received!

Weight gain and osteoporosis
I was diagnosed with GCA in September 2022 and have been on high doses of
steroids
until very recently. My rheumatologist has recommended that I taper by 2.5 mg every two weeks and I am currently on 25 mg as of today.

How long to take Actemra?
I know not everyone takes it and I'm on such a high dose of
steroids
that it seems it's not helping me. I'd love to hear your experiences and advice. Thank you so much!

Almost there
"The
steroids
have a fantastic success rate with almost immediate effect. One of cheapest to produce and great sales." Fair enough, it is business and commerce I thought whilst commissioning his wonderfully designed eco efficient heating system, to serve the swimming pool and house.

Consultant doesn't believe my diagnosis
Hi everyoneA couple of months ago I saw my respiratory consultant after a long time because I'd been having a lot of flare ups which needed prolonged doses of
steroids
and often antibiotics but for some reason he told me that he doesn't think that I actually have asthma and that my inhalers and nebuliser

Heart failure and fatigue
I have longstanding diagnoses of polymyositis and UCTD, for which I take
steroids
and HCQ, so I am very used to chronic fatigue and weakness, but I'm now so burnt out feeling it barely seems worth getting out of bed at all. Any thoughts on avenues to explore (eg medication options?)

omeprazole
I initially thought it was a reaction to my
steroids
but having tried taking them in the night it made no difference. The fuzziness has usually gone by midday!

Aching legs
I can manage the pain through the day but can’t sleep at night My haemo thinks it might be Polymyalgia rheumatica but I’m not convinced and don’t want to take
steroids
. I’m trying an anti inflammatory diet . My platelets are about 700 and I’m on 10 x 500g of hydroxycarbamide a week.

Just manage the exacerbations with a short course of oral
steroids
. it seems still that not many people are offered this medication, not many professionals seem to have heard about it either, which is why I am sharing my experience of taking it on here.

Lumbosacral plexopathy - Pain returning after steroid treatment
I can't live on
steroids
as I'll be the size of a house if I carry on, besides the damage it will do to my bones. While on the
steroids
I cut down the Gabapentin and came off the buprenorphine patches but I'm already starting to increase the Gabapentin to see if I can manage this way.

[i]***Moderator addition: please keep in mind as you read this thread and the replies that while inhaled
steroids
can have some side effects, not everyone will be affected, and [/i][i]
untreated or poorly controlled asthma is also very harmful and can be fatal.
