Cataract Surgery: NHS referral for fast treatment
I’m aware that cataracts are a common side effect of
steroids
. I’ve developed cataracts in both eyes, rapid growing and last week had surgery for replacement lens in one eye. The waiting time for NHS treatment at the hospital eye clinic is over three years.

Is the catarrh in my throat caused by Prednisolone?
Is this problem a side effect of the
steroids
? Has anyone found a solution? By the way, my tongue is also sore all the time.

Diagnosed with Degenerate Oesteo-Arthritis in both knees, treatment for which is steroid injection, for time being, but ultimately will need knee replacement surgery. My question is, does anyone have tips to reduce pain & swelling & preserve

Hi All,I have adenomyosis and I have been having constant and chronic lower back pain and pain on my left bum cheek for 9 months. Does anyone else with adenomyosis have this problem?

My query is this - won’t the cortisol test be affected by the
steroids
even if I won’t be taking it prior to the test? I would like to add that I quoted our very experienced administrator “ treating PMR shouldn’t be just about reducing relentlessly to zero “ - not a flicker !

Flaring could it be too much confectionary
I am having another flare up in spite of the
steroids
and I think it is eating too much sugar, far too much sugar, going to try really hard to stick to no sugar for the next few days. Does anyone else feel sugar can be a big cause of the inflammation........

Recent OCD diagnosis coupled with autoimmune issues- Need hospital, treatment centers, advice or recommendations
He began a very high dose of
steroids
and within 3 days, he was NORMAL. He had a new outlook on life. The next 6 months he held down a job, did not self harm, had zero suicidal ideations, and felt like a normal 18 year old, until... they began decreasing his prednisone 5mg a week.

Question about Dexamethasone with O&V
This doesn't make much sense to me given the results of
steroids
so far (as above). I'm aware high dose
steroids
have side effects and personally I hate the insomnia etc. Any thoughts?

I'm wondering if it is linked to the PMR or

because it has left me with weak muscles?

Lupkynis approved in Switzerland to treat adults with lupus nephritis
Findings suggested that Lupkynis helped preserve kidney function when given alongside mycophenolate mofetil and low-dose
steroids
(well-established anti-inflammatory therapies for lupus), without substantially increased safety risks.

red inflamed area around my eye
hi there, I use Latanoprost and Dorzolamide eye drops following a closed angle glaucoma last year. Recently the area around my eye has become very red and inflamed and itchy. Has this happened to anyone else? My doctor gave me steroid cream which has helped a bit. Thanks

Pred 'the controlled drug' update
On my previous post, many suggested a lack of understanding about the many different uses of
steroids
, and it seems you were right. I was reassured they won't be 'trying to get me off
steroids
' and I am getting some more. Problem solved 😌 👏
