Wound healing thoughts?
No-one here wil be suprised to learn that no doctor has examined it, and the practice nurses who've done the dressing have no advice to add in relation to
steroids
or my general health. Any thoughts, advice, tips would be welcome Thanks x

How long can a asthma episode last?
She had 10 days of
steroids
and 10 days of antibiotics for a chest infection. As you can imagine she is shacking. We have been to the doctors twice, oxygen level been good at 97. I mentioned if they just gave her a NEB the wheeze would go but as we all know they don’t give NEBS anymore 🙄

Specialist wanted me off
steroids
as quick as I could as it mask so much . So I achieved in six months going from 15mil to 5mil . Never have I endured so much pain . I need a rest before I go to zero . My question is I had severe swelling in feet & upper leg that's painful & making walking hard.

Hello and Pred dose increase?
My dermatologist has said it could be steroid myopathy so increasing
steroids
is not necessarily a great idea. A few days ago my neck also began stiffening up/ being achy although that could be due to having slept on my stomach I suppose. I know I’m very deconditioned.

hoping
I have the appointment on Thursday and am really worried in case they won’t give me
steroids
and another holiday will be ruined because of my plodding walking and aching body. Has anyone else been given
steroids
when they’ve had a negative blood test??

PMR, travelling abroad, emergency pack of Pred ( “ sick day rules”) in case of illness
Even before I mentioned sick day rules ( he’d never heard of them and is to consult with his colleagues) GP saw no good reason why
steroids
should be increased in the event of illness in any event. I will be taking enough Pred with me in any event for unforeseen events but I’d be glad of thoughts.

How to nurture bone health
For example
steroids
, including the steroid containing inhaler for asthma, impacts bones. Hence the importance of lifestyle support to protect bone density. And you knowing your own unique context. How to support your bone health: *Move!

Feel dreadful after AFib episode
However after nearly 3 years on
steroids
because I also have Polymyalgia and decreased mobility due to recently diagnosed Scoliosis of the spine I still have a lot of weight to lose.My Cardiologist said that because of my weight I would not be considered for an Ablation and he is reluctant to prescribe

Brain fog, weakness meds or tumour?
I take
steroids
in the morning and Keppra at night and experience a constant brain fog and weakness to limbs which I am unsure as to whether it is due to the meds or the tumour. The brain fog is variable but appears worse if I don't sleep well.

'Headspin'
A few days after I was told this, I woke up with 'Bell's Palsy', and put on
Steroids
for ten days, which didn't work. The left side of my face has collapsed, and I have a permanent open eye, and lips almost vertical.

Asthma without infection
Treatment has been courses of antibiotics and
steroids
. I use DuoResp Spiromax 320/9 dry powder inhaler (and Salamol inhaler, when needed, not often). I also am in my 6th year of Permanent, though asymptomatic, Atrial Fibrillation after 22 years of Paroxysmal AF.

Asthma Appointment
The worrying thing for me was that she told me I'm taking
steroids
too often and that I could develop diabetes and is refusing to prescribe me another rescue pack.
