Swollen red cheek andslight jaw pain on one side.
My friend was diagnosed 6 weeks ago with PMR and GCA. Great improvement on steroids. Yesterday she had slight jaw pain and this morning her face is red and swollen. Could this be a flare. She is on 20mg per day of prednisolone.

Steroid injection in foot
I wonder if anyone else has had this experience? I have had PMR for 4 years and struggling to get below 5 mg. I have had a few minor flares just this year so regularly wake up with aching shoulders and arms. In February I had a steroid injection for my right foot which is really painful (injury/arthritis

Work on healing balance
My balance is no longer a major issue. I am working on improving it. I do work on my core. I consider my balance issues to be a neurological issue. I balance on both feet or one foot and focus on one point. Then I move my eyes back and forth in focus and same up and down. I also move my head to change

PMR Newbie
After months of lingering on Naproxen, I was finally diagnosed by a rheumatologist (privately) with PMR. I was give the 120mg steroid injection there and then , and felt better the next day and for the next few days. However, once the Naproxen was out of my system, the symptoms have started to come

RLS? PLMD? Myoclonic Jerks? All of the above?
I am a 69 year old man in the United States. In 2016, I started experiencing leg spasms that would occur when I lie prone or leaned back in my recliner. I first noticed it during the day, but it would soon keep me from falling asleep and staying asleep. I mentioned it to a doctor I was visiting for

Recovery from pneumonia
70 YO F with bronchiectasis - I developed double pneumonia 3 months ago and completed 2 weeks of IV antibiotic treatment in hospital and at home 2 months ago. Is it normal for recovery from pneumonia to wax and wane, to be "nonlinear"? I was getting better 2 weeks ago, the fatigue was starting to lift

Airport travel with Injections
Can some experienced travellers who use Pegasys give me some advice please. I am travelling this week from the UK to Mexico, and have bought a Disoncare insulin cooler to keep my Pegasys syringes in whilst travelling. I will keep this in my Hand Luggage, but I’m not sure what to do with the needle

Nerve root block?
One of the options to treat my now diagnosed spinal stenosis and sciatica is a steroid injection. Is there any contraindication being on 2 mg pred? Any experience of this injection?

Doctors.... blood tests..... need I say more??
I have Hashis, Addisons and a slew of other things.... my old consultant (private not NHS) often called me a modern medical mystery! I have Addisons (PAI) but about 2 years after my diagnosis I had to have steroid injections in my spine- caused my BP to rise to dangerous levels and it's never come down

Endo recommendation Tunbridge Wells
Hi everyone. My first post for many years so I’m now very out of date on everything as I’ve been happily ticking along for ages taking a combination of thyroxine and T3 and keeping my TSH levels quite low. I’ve recently been referred back to endo to confirm the T3 prescription and for some adrenal

combined therapy help
Hi a little advise if possible: normally levo 125mg and thybon 5mg. A new endo has taken me off thybon to try and work out if I have diabetes inspidius (water balance issues). I think I was slightly too hyper but 3 weeks later and I feel terrible - weight gain, constipation, no apetite. I don’t think

covid
My Gp doesn’t seem to know the protocol now for testing positive for Covid. Do I up my steroids or do I ask for an anti viral? It seems a bit vague now. Any help appreciated. 🙏
