Well the rheumatologist decided to put me on prednisone (
steroids
) as a diagnostic route on March 27th and on Friday respiratory scanned my lungs to find no fluid on right side and only 300mls on left side which is a massive improvement one which has never been seen so the
steroids
are working therefore

steroids and ivf
My consultant is happy to prescribe
steroids
, clexane and aspirin without the text which is so much cheaper. Wondered if anyone else has done this and got a BFP?

Disappointed and worried
If he sticks to his diagnosis of Fibromyalgia he made it clear that he will reduce my
steroids
as quickly as he can and substitute them with either Pregabalin or Gabapentin.

I have had antibiotics which didn't touch it, then
steroids
which cleared it up enough to go to work. However, 8 days ago it started again coughing, being sick, losing my voice, sore chest - I went to a walk in centre and they told me I had a wheezy chest and gave me more
steroids

Steroids
Hi I have PMR ( diagnosed in April this year ) My rheumatologist gave me a steroid injection 3 weeks ago in shoulder for pain ( she was reluctant for me to go back on oral preds because I’m diabetic type 2 ) Anyway the
steroids
reduced the pain for a short while . Then it was agony !

Alendronic Acid and Methotrexate

, simply because I've been on
steroids
for nearly two years.

Just Left My Doctor’s Office
The Neuro wants me to get a MRI and a (3) day round of SM
Steroids
infusion in - home! Oh well, not looking forward to the MRI, after 20 + over the years who’s counting! I’ll need ZZ Quil about 30 mins prior so I won’t be a cry baby and tell the technicians to get me the “heck” out of there!

Flare caused by stress and overexertion
hello all, I was diagnosed with PMR in April 2020 and spent 3 years on
steroids
. Using lots of advice from this site I have been off
steroids
and pain free for just over a year. My exercise tolerance was back to normal and long walks , even uphill were not a problem.

hands and fingers
hi all I am at week three of my PMR journey, and have been taking
steroids
at 15 mg then increased to 20, I am now taking 25 mg to see if that is any good. I seem to be improving in some ways. In other ways I feel I am worse.

Bronchiecstasis and asthma
been suffering, flare up with antibiotics and
steroids
since beginning of December. In desperation I rang GP this morning to get form for a sputum test at hospital. Was told I have to speak with a doctor and couldn’t have that appointment until Thursday!

steroids
. thanks

prednisone
I’ve spoken on here before but my
steroids
were due to stop completely beginning may, I’ve contacted rheumatologist secretary today to advise her if recent results and rheumatologist is going to keep me on a lower dose longer, hopefully stop the fluid returning.
