Blaming Steroids
Over the past couple of years, I have developed what I can only describe as scalp acne! Do you think this is yet something else that I can blame on Pred? At my recent group meeting, several ladies were blaming it for their straw like hair. I Have been on it for 4.25 years and am currently on 3mgs daily

prednisolone 3 week course followd by surgery
Hi please can anyone advise how long to wait in between a prednisolone course and surgery ? I have heard from the nurses that if you have an IM steroid injection they postpone surgery for 6 to 8 weeks to allow the imunosuppresant effects to wear off before surgery. my RA consultant seems to think

Awaiting confirmation of GCA
Feeling a bit thrown by the suddenness of it all and the implications of a biopsy and possibility of having to be on
steroids
long time, risks to sight etc.

Tapering having a go
Still battling with Thrush following 2 lots of antibiotics and having temporary increased my
steroids
I need to get stable again first . However returning to the site has inspired me to have another go at getting down a bit lower.

Steroids and antibiotics?
I have just started taking amoxicillin for a tooth problem, I’m on 2 msg prednisolon. I have felt very achy and tired since taking ABX. Has anyone else experienced this or maybe it’s a coincidence? Thanks for taking the trouble to read this.

How can I reduce the swelling in my foot and ankle?
Hello I was diagnosed with RA about six weeks ago and am on 20 mg methotrexate and 5 mg folic acid and have had a steroid injection. I can see improvement in other places but my right foot and ankle are swollen so I can only walk really short distances with a limp. I am worried that I will not be able

Recovery from PMR
I never took
steroids
but took ibuprofen for the pain and to get me through the working day. After two years the condition burnt out and I recovered completely.

It’s back 😩
I really don’t want to go back on
steroids
as it took me so long and hard work to get off of them and to be honest they didn’t give me much relief during the time I was on them although my ESR levels went down to 2.

Feeling very despondent
I was diagnosed with PMR in August 2019 and my GP started me on 15 mg per day
steroids
plus other medication to offset the effects of the
steroids
. I immediately started to feel much better but when I dropped down to 10 mg per day I had a flare and had to go back up to 15mg.

Stuck at 3mg
I'm caught between a rock & a hard place as I have also been diagnosed with a scary malignant melanoma, and the immunotherapy treatment (which I have not yet been prescribed) is inhibited by
steroids

fluid behind the eyes
Does
steroids
cause this? Another possibility is wet macula degeneration!

Pmr and eyes
Can
steroids
affect them at all? Sleep much better now the pain has gone or diminished. Sometimes sleep in the day as well. If you feel tired then sleep. Even a short nap is good. Sleep heals Only downside of pred is that I now have an appetite....which is not helpful weightwise.

Learning to live with PMR
Around the same time, some dental treatment requiring 2 days of
steroids
resulted in an immediate 'cure'. Finally when I saw a rheumatologist in September and told him this, he diagnosed PMR - I'd never heard of it!

Teeth!
Following three months of intermittent neutropenia,
steroids
and 1 month of Obinutuzumab, just noticed some really marked yellow staining on my teeth, around the gums where you'd expect plaque/bacteria to pool. Slightly horrified as I've been going all out to keep them clean to prevent infection.
