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

Painful hands
So I have finally come off of
steroids
and I am now only on colchicine which I don't think is helping as I've had an absolute rubbish time since
steroids
have left my system.

Update on New Inhaler
tell me that she didn’t get chance to speak to him because he dashed off, so this morning I phoned back and got an appointment with the doctor who gave me the Trimbow inhaler, he checked my chest and temp and then said ‘unfortunately I think your smoking related copd has moved on’ so now I’m back on

Return of the Living Dead
He says he would put me back on
steroids
, but could not do so without the consultant's say-so. However, tomorrow evening I am playing in a concert and I really want to do it. I also have a few pred 5s, 2.5s and 1s left.

Any advice?
Still a mess this Friday, so went back - Saw someone else who did hear crackling, put me on clarithromycin, no
steroids
, but has booked me in with GP again for a proper review tomorrow.

Appt with Consultant today - need alternative to azaphoprine as it caused liver cirrhosis
Anyone know something as strong as azaophoprine and Cortiment 9 mg
steroids
as they both worked for me but caused liver damage and
steroids
arent for long term use. I don’t want to be fobbed off with meds that don’t work

My dad
He was put on
steroids
for 3 days. But on day 2, they didn't see any improvement so they started a mask type ventilator. He got better for the next two days, but he started to feel uncomfortable. So they decided to put him in an induced coma and intubate him.

Stem Cell Transplant update
I feel well in myself except for side affects from
steroids
which I should be off in a week. They make it difficult to sleep, make me hungry and over full of energy . Many of my blood counts are in normal range except for platelets. These keep yo-yoing around.

Could this be steroid damage?
As it seemed relatively trivial I just wonder if joints or bones might bruise or bleed more easily, after a fair amount of courses of
steroids
, though none for quite some time.

Just don't know what to do with myself
Not sure this is even and option to be honest as already accumulated total of 4.78g of
steroids
in just 4 months. 3. Carry on decreasing - rheumatologist wanted me off
steroids
as soon as possible anyway as questioning diagnosis (I have very little doubt however).

Steroids problems
Last Friday I spoke to our respiratory nurse and explained I'd been fighting for breath and had used my SOS antibiotics. She told me to take the SOS Prednisilone as well. I did so but immediately my diabetic bloods shot up to 10.5 and have remained at that level since (for years, they've been between

Synacthen Test Results
On my follow up the endocrinologist said I passed the test and that anyone would feel better after the test as it's
steroids
and he wouldn't recommend going down that route for medication. Thing is I'm wondering where to go, does this result conclusively rule out secondary arenal insufficiency?

tapering problem
Like everyone else I want to get off the
steroids
asap, in particular because of the side effects ( I have lost much of my hair, sweating, skin thinning, muscle weakness etc). I’d be grateful for any advice
