Hot weather & getting nutrition right
I had pneumonia but to me it felt very weird because I was very hot & the doctors said my heart rate is above 120 & I was given
steroids
& antibiotics. I was struggling to stay cool & also struggling with what to eat that will keep me energised.

Advice for a bad eczema(?) flare up + help with rash identification šš»
The doctor had prescribed him with
steroids
but they don't seem to have an effective and doesn't seem too bothered to look into alternatives or provide other suggestions. I'm not quite sure this is eczema anymore, does this rash look like it could be anything else?

prednisolone
I went to see my rheumatologist who suggested a short course of
steroids
. Would anyone be able to help me as to whether they work and help with joint pain and awful fatigue? I am always very reluctant to take medication but I am exhausted.

tapering off steroids
Hello I'm currently tapering off 5mg Prednisolone, initiated a few years ago when I had Covid which was triggering my severe asthma. I don't need it anymore for that reason except I was diagnosed with adrenal insufficiency a few years ago. Recently seen an endocrinologist and had a short synacthen

osteoporosis in hips but normal bone density in spine
I am 49 and on long term
steroids
so assuming this is the cause. A number of years ago I was prescribed oral biphosphanates that I didnāt tolerate following an osteopenic result on dexa scan I am not sure if anyone can answer this but my spine T scores were in the normal range.

Shingles Vaccine Questions
Do you have to be off
steroids
for 6 weeks before you can have the live vaccine. Can you have the alternative vaccine (if there is one) whilst on
steroids
? Thanks and information is welcomed.

Drop in FT4 and FT3 but no change in meds.... confused!
I was thinking that it would've been higher than 462nmol/L what with it being withing a couple of hours of me taking my
steroids
? HC has a half life of 4-6 hrs and the Pred is slow release and is more like 8-10hrs I believe (not 100% so please don't quote me on that one!)

plugged ear feeling due to sudden hearing loss
Steroids
etc all done but I have not seen any improvement. Only change is that tinnitus has gone crazy. To add to the shopping bag of issues , I also have a pretty horrid feeling of plugged /blocked/ full ear. It is similar to when the ear doesnāt āpopā during a flight.

BRAN - to take or not to take - A useful mnemonic to help weigh up whether to take a new medication or treatment
My problem is I feel many doctors are often too optimistic about the benefits, too pessimistic about the risks (eg with
steroids
), not interested in alternatives unless there have been full double b;ind scientific trials, and sometimes get shirty if you don't take their advice as they know best, but

Pluvicto works but at what cost
rounds of Jevtana didnāt help and caused problems, also had localized XRT - but had to have chemo to qualify for Pluvicto which is a great advanced treatment for many of us After multiple delays getting Pluvicto with PSA rising and increasing bone pain, first Pluvicto caused more pain - relieved by

Steroids and weak bones
Do any of you have osteoporosis due to steriods?Started dupilimab in January - it works well enough to get me off prednisolone ( it has unpleasant side effects - it plays hell with my sinuses - sneezing coughing and headaches). I have asked for a dexa scan as it is around five years since my last and

Relvar Ellipta
At 70 (male), I developed asthma in November, and was given a Salamol inhaler and put on a course of
steroids
. Didn't have to use the inhaler for weeks, but by January, the asthma had gotten pretty bad and was getting worse. I was taking about 16 puffs a day.

scared mum unborn baby 34 weeks with kidney and bladder problems and no amniotic fluid.
Iāve had
steroids
to help with his lungs. They say prognosis is not a good outcome. Dialysis, transplants etc. First thing will be to get him to breathe.

Bowel blockage experience
Iām on
steroids
. Iām on the slow (?) decline, managing symptoms every day. When I think itās not going to get worse it does but sometimes things get better (ref. NG tube). My family are great and Iām so glad to have time with them now. Iāll keep going as long as I can. Every day is precious.
