She put the needle into my arm and the pain was horrendous - I've not had a jab that hurt that much since the Doc injected
steroids
into my shoulder joint!

pain in shoulders and legs
No mention of putting me back on
steroids
and no mention of seeing a rheumatologist. I now have a three week wait for the X-ray results. I am taking paracetamol to help with the pain but surely I should have been referred back to rheumatology? What do you think?

Success at 5th round (6th embryo)
We did mix things up quite a bit along the way as I found out I had inflated natural killer cells so was on
steroids
, my second clinic also added in blood thinners as I had 'sticky blood' and extra progesterone. All of these things I had to research and fight for which was exhausting.

Haven't ran in over 18 months
Due to pantar fasciitis I haven't ran for over 18 months. Earlier this year I tried shockwave therapy which eased the pain by about 15% Almost two weeks ago I managed to get a steroid injection. The doctor who performed the injection said it should take about two weeks to see any difference. Well after

Pain while taking steroids
I have a very nasty chest infection, feeling very unwell still . I’ve been on antibiotics and 40 mg prednisone since Monday. I am getting quite a lot of pain around my lower back. I’m wondering if this is kidneys? Or adrenals? I also have pain at the back of my ribs from coughing but this other pain

a few days on steroids?
Hello all… I can’t get hold of the rheumatology team and am getting fed up of a mid range RA flare… feet and ankles are very sore to walk on and the back of my hand is fluid filled. I can off MTX for 18 days at the end of November as caught Covid. I was thinking of taking prednisone 5ml daily for three

Recovery
As some of you know I recently had a bad chest infection which after two weeks of antibiotics and
steroids
seems to have gone (clear mucus no colour).

Has anyone any information about pseudo dementia as a result of GCA. Could my mum’s rapid onset dementia symptoms be related to her GCA?
Has anyone experienced mental health problems due to GCA and can higher doses of
steroids
help?

Blood results
Blue horizon indicate that I have high cortisol in my blood - I’m not or have ever been on
steroids
All very odd.

Frustration
When I enquired why they haven’t tried to reduce to zero
steroids
the reply was that they are comfortable on the dose they are on. How do they know if they haven’t had any side effects ? Is it possible to be on pred such a long time without any side effects ?

Jaw pain could this be GCA
I was unable to stop
steroids
completely due to having acquired adrenaline sufficiency. So I'm now taking a very low dose of hydrocortisone three times a day. But I've been experiencing a great deal of jaw pain and for quite a while.

Statins/PMR
Anyway, I'm going to get blood tests done this afternoon for ESR (even though she knows I'm on
steroids
) and something else beginning with K that measures muscle breakdown so she can rule out the statins being the cause.

surgery or not
MO and the neurosurgeon treated him with several rounds of
steroids
and other pain meds. Neurosurgeon says he needs surgery to remove the large tumor and relieve the pain. However this past weekend the pain started to leave. he has finished his meds and is basically pain-free at the moment.
