Not yet diagnosed....AN
I'm currently on extremely strong
steroids
to see if it helps and if there is any inflammation in there to reduce. If this doesn't work (they haven't done anything do far apart from stop me sleeping 😴) then next stop will be MRI which the doctors seem reluctant to do so far.

Vertigo and PD?
I took high doses of IV
steroids
for three days. Later a dominant hand tremor led to a PD diagnosis. But the vertigo abated and I never developed other signs associated with PD: No slowness, no freezing, no balance problems. One neuro said there's no rule you can't have BOTH diseases.

concern over chest infections after chemo, should I be worried?
He has had 4 courses of antibiotics and a course of
steroids
, prednisolone, for this but he is still coughing and wheezing. Has anyone experienced this after chemotherapy or should I be worried and request a chest X-ray to rule out anything sinister? thank you all

RETURNING MEMBER 'Hi'
Except for the dreaded 'flare ups' & having to take the 'Rescue Pk' of
steroids
& anti/bi it hasn't really limited me. So, other than my daily inhaler (and rescue pk as & when) I've never had to take any other med. The strongest tablet I will take is a paracetamol.

Temperature and inflammation
Like others, I would like to taper down and get off the
steroids
as soon as physically possible, which has resulted in some undershoots and having to bob back up to higher doses.

Sudden hearing loss and hyperacusis
In about 2008 I experienced a very sudden loss in the good ear (right): My ENT prescribed oral
steroids
which did nothing. He insisted that it would go away, but I was distrustful and asked for a second opinion.

DOMS or a flare?
My question is do I hang on a bit and see if it is DOMS and improves or do I up the
steroids
for a few days. I’m currently on 10mg and supposed to by reducing next week to 9.5 on the instructions of my Rheumatologist. I’m delaying that by at least a week.

Changing from oral to intramuscular prednisolone
As I posted a while ago, I started on I/M
steroids
from a private rheumatologist for PMR which had miraculous results. He wrote to my GP asking her to continue injections and that's where the problems started.

From 4 mg of Prednisone to 240mg of Solumedrol.. in 30 hours....
I'm in the hospital contemplating the curses and blessings of prednisone and the whole family of
steroids
. I have chronic asthma and haven't had a severe asthma attack for 13 years. Who knows maybe all my prednisone was protecting me.

CRP and treatment
After
steroids
and naproxen my level was down to 6. Started on MTX end Oct and CRP level remained low (as far as I know) though I did have to have another steroid course over Dec because of declining mobility.

Mets to the spine
He finishes 5 treatments of radiation two weeks ago and starting
steroids
today. My other question is will the pain get better? And how long until it does? Is there ever surgery to remove the tumor? Thank you for any input.

Dr appt updates
The LP showed 15 oligoclonal bands and 3 high dose IV
steroids
in 24 hrs. I did regain almost all vision back but don’t watch me pulling into the garage…whoever thought it was a good idea to put 2 doors on a garage door!
