help with skin burning/rash
hi, my mum has just been diagnosed and is currently being weaned off the meds and
steroids
that aren’t doing her any good (they didn’t know what was wrong with her so just threw loads of meds at it) she’s really suffering with her skin, it’s very read and painful and she hasn’t started any lupus meds

Persistent low grade fever
He advised he felt it was COPD and suggested I book a spirometry test 6 weeks after the
steroids
. Well I didn't realise just had hard breathing had become until the
steroids
kicked in and wow what a difference. After the
steroids
my chest feels great however my fever has remained.

Help!
And she put me on a round of
steroids
didn't work. But the pain has gotten worse as time goes by. My Dr. Sent me to a eurogynocologist she put a camera in my bladder and saw nothing she told me I had a weak pelvic floor and to do therapy. I start therapy on July 3rd .

RA reaction to medication would like general advice on how to manage RA
The
steroids
help ease the pain during the day but then evening/night time it gets worse again. I run out of
steroids
tomorrow so worried the pain will get a lot worse on Monday.

Curious about good spell
I take my
steroids
around 6.45 am, and actually feel pretty normal till about 8.30/9.00 am, at which point the fatigue envelops me and I'm done for the day. Till the magic happens. Does anyone else experience a similar, regular good spell ... and please, can anyone explain WHY ?!

Pondering what to do
The inflammation is still not under control and aside the long term/ unknown impacts, I am tolerating the
steroids
well so tempted to increase to 60mg (but no higher) with or without her consent.

Learning about GCA
I have been on
steroids
since February for PRM, properly unwell for quite a while before that. Over the weekend I had a period of very disturbed vision with headache and jaw pain. Now increased from 10mg to 60mg prednisone.

Conflicting information
She said I still wasn't to increase
steroids
until all results were back and if everything did indeed point to a flare then increasing
steroids
would resolve the symptoms in short term but as soon as I reduced again they'd still be there, and therefore she wouldn't recommend me doing that!

42 days post ablation
Nothing stopped them:
steroids
, migraine medication, etc. They have suddenly stopped. I've had migraines my whole life, but never a run like that after a procedure (and they are largely controlled with CGRP inhibitors).

Whoops! I made a boo-boo.
A week ago I visited the rheumatologist, who prescribed reducing Prednisone from 5mg to 4g daily and adding 20mg hydrocortisone. All part of the wean-off steroids.Stupidly, and because I was massively distracted by life circumstances, I didn't take in her instructions properly and reduced overnight

? Thanks in advance.

PMR - need to take back control - GP call tomorrow
Where I think I am right now: I do have a polymyalgia that is extremely responsive to
steroids
. The stiffness and fatigue has been pretty debilitating. I believe that I have PMR and that I still have it.

episode 6 of a limited series!
My whinge on this occasion is that the doctor I saw last time and who had arranged this test seems to be on a crusade to get as many patients as possible off
steroids
.
