Reaching out.
Chest nurse suggested trying to now catch exacerbation with
steroids
first, rather than other way round, resorting to the antibiotics if it gets away from me. Here we go round the mulberry bush! Best wishes to everyone 🍀

AIH and Azathioprine
Not thrilled about it, especially as
steroids
seem to be bringing my levels down just fine, but the consultant is a good 'un so I'm trusting I'm going on it for a reason. Been warned about the hideousness of the first few weeks but interested if anyone is on it long-term? Let me know!

anyone have achy legs
I’m learning so much from reading everyone’s posts. Unfortunately I am still trying to figure out what is going on with my legs. I know I have a component of RLS as my legs feel like a “current” is running through them when I am sitting for long periods, watching Tv in evenings and laying in bed.

Eczema & Glaucoma
I know that antihistamines are linked to high eye pressure & my glaucoma consultant has already told me that you can ‘reach the point of no return’ even with topical
steroids
so I’m reluctant to continue with Betnovate especially as I’ve already been using it for over six weeks.

Steroid injection in shoulder joint

The doctor administering it, advised me to postpone a forthcoming shingles jab, but I forgot to ask him if I should continue to take methotrexate (due Fri - i opted to skip it this week) and my 2 weekly Imraldi

Risk of PMR to GCA
If PMR isn’t treated with
steroids
, what % then go on to develop GCA? This figure must be different to the 20% of people who will go on to develop GCA when taking
steroids
. Hope I’m making sense?

Steroids and Ibuprofen
My doctor has said under no circumstances to take any medication containing ibuprofen because of my
steroids
. Paracetomol does nothing to relieve the pain, co-codamol makes me ill. I read on the forum other people take ibuprofen which I think would help me. Any ones thoughts?

Covid Antiviral eligibility
Wasn't sure if I was eligible this time as I'm only on 5mg Pred, having stopped my Methotrexate in November, but the lady who phoned me from the Covid Medicines Department said I was eligible as I'd been on
steroids
so long (7 years) and had only 'recently' stopped the MTX.

Sciatica
Hi all. I have been suffering with back pain for several years. In regards to medication, you name it, I've tried it. I've have two lots of steroid injections which had no effect whatsoever and then finally in 2022 I had radio frequency ablation which was brilliant. I had instant relief from this. I

Increasing steroids for dental treatment
Hi all - I have previously seen posts about increasing preds for dental treatment, is this all treatment or specific things? and does it still apply at low levels? I am having a crown fitted for a broken tooth and am currently on 2mbs/1.5mgs - DSNS! Thanks

steroid injections
I had a steroid injection in my low back yesterday. This was to help nerve pain I have been having in my thigh. Today, could I use the steroid from this having this shot of steroid from this injection as a way to decrease my daily steroid by 1/2- 1mg.? Will that work? Hope that makes sense😊

A bit confused!
When I spoke to the nurse a few days later, she said that
steroids
can raise the White blood cells. But now I’m confused as isn’t that supposed to lower inflammation??? Still trying to get my head around all the info so please bear with me if it’s a silly question 😳😳
