Scared
Hi there, I'm 38 year old active, fit woman. I've been diagnosed with severe cervical stenosis at c6-7 with radiculopathy. Have had symptoms for 20+ years not realising what it was. Then last summer after having an appendectomy and 3 weeks rest, the pain behind left shoulder blade and in neck flared

Somewhat Fed Up at 4:45am
Not had more than 1-2 hours sleep a night for well over a week- think the
steroids
have kept me going. Going to respiratory consultant later today - 10 months I’ve been ill and off sick - maybe I’ll be better by next Christmas!

Continuous never ending onslaught - still trying to be happy happy positive but 🤷♀️
The inhalers,
steroids
etc have put the heart rate up to continuous 100-117 which is now exhausting me again, can’t walk any distance without puffing and panting out of breath. Yesterday GP noticed the heart is pausing/skipping beats and air entry in one lung not moving as it is in the other.

PMR News from Med page 1.10.23
Steroids
are now the "mainstay" of therapy for PMR, Li and colleagues observed. "For conventional synthetic disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs [DMARDs, such as methotrexate], there is no convincing evidence of efficacy," they wrote.

Mortons Neuroma
I've been told I can't drive for 6 hours but i think that is more due to potential reactions to the
steroids
rather than the injection itself. Any advice would be gratefully received. TIA Sarah

Managing asthma while reducing steroids
Hi, hope you’re all ok. I’ve been lucky that I’ve been steroid free for about 5months and my asthma’s been fairly under control, which for me means taking ventolin maybe 2 or 3 days a week and sometimes several times during ‘that’ day. I recently caught a cold and I’ve been really congested with sinus

Taking steroids at night….
Thanks to all of you that have made contact regarding taking
steroids
at night. Have tried a few nights but don’t think this is for me. Am back to daytime but am going to talk to the pharmacist to see if there is a better way of managing them with my other medications during the day.

Non alcoholic fatty liver
I am overweight but that's because I'm on high dose
steroids
for my severe asthma. I've cut a large amount of sugar and only eat 2 meals a day with some snacks in-between. I gained weight rapidly without changing my food.

Dreading seeing the Rheumatologist
Hi everyone, I have an appointment coming up with my Rheumatologist which I’ve been under for the last 3 1/2 years (I’m in the UK, we don’t get a choice in who we see). It took him a couple of years to finally diagnose PMR. During that time I’d become almost housebound. He insisted I take the

What to do if dry air is a trigger?
I’m thinking about traveling again and wondering if from now on I will need to take
steroids
when I travel somewhere with air drier than where I live which is pretty humid. Anyone else has dry air as a trigger?

Not sure if this is the right place
Fast forward to this year where I seen a new rheumatologist a couple of weeks ago she sends me for bloods and urine test stating that if these come back normal she will trial me on
steroids
to see if it resolves liver issues and then be able to confirm its autoimmune based on that whilst still trying

Antihistamines for Post Covid Symptoms?
Hi, a few weeks ago I tested positive for Covid… It caused an asthma flare but my Fostair and Ventolin along with a course of Dexomethasone
steroids
seemed to have kept it manageable… Although the actual illness passed very quickly (temp, awful throat, horrible barking coughing fits) I have been left

GCA or not ……..
I had a drs appointment this afternoon to discuss re-starting
steroids
after a recent flare up. I haven’t been on
steroids
since August. Whilst I was there I mentioned that I have had a strange intermittent headache around my left eye and temples.

taking steroids at night?
Has anyone experience of taking
steroids
at nighttime? Am sure I’ve read somewhere that it was quite successful and am keen to give it a try. Am in the process of reviewing my medications and the timings.

Asthma or COPD?
I can ride a cycle 15 miles (but admit to struggling with hills although I do have other conditions which could have a bearing on this: I have Paroxysmal Tachycardia (an arrythmia) and Polymialgia Rhumatica which affects muscles (but I take
steroids
for this)).
