Anyone had this?
A bit of background….. from a young child my teeth have always been easy to decay, chest type infections growing up, lots of sore throats, (back of my throat is a bit of a mess), although the painful throats improved by mid teens. Now it is mainly, heavy/tight chest and hoarse voice. Sometimes when

Never ending circle
Morning everyone, just looking for advice and to vent a little. I have posted a few times about my journey but finally thought I had got some answers. Quick recap- after years of being fobbed off by my GP, I eventually went private to see a rheumatologist who actually listened. Initially he diagnosed

Do I have heart failure or heart disease?
This is my first post. Back in 2019 I had what felt like "flutterings" and breathlessness/dizziness. I was diagnosed with arrhythmia. A 24 hour ecg showed ventricular ectopic beats. An echocardiogram showed mild valve leakages but no obvious cardiomyopathy. I was advised to stop/reduce my caffeine

Steroids 30mg
Hey friends, I’m going through rough time. I have a chest infection which happened very quickly the doctor gave me antibiotics and steroids (prednisone). I have recently stopped taking my 1mg daily since my flare up/diagnoses. Now the doctor prescribed me 30mg a day! For a few days, which is a lot. That

Vasculitis Treatment 2
Hello, tomorrow I have my 2nd vasculitis treatment (high-dose steroids plus rituximab) and just wondering if there is much difference between the 1st and 2nd treatment in terms of reactions and side effects? Grateful for any feedback, thank you.

Prednisolone and skin thinning
I think I’ve heard that long term use of steroids can cause the skin to get thinner - is this a thing? I’m wondering if it’s a cause of my difficulty shaking off the cellulitis that’s been bugging me over the past few weeks. Has anyone else had this? The skin is always damaged after an attack, which

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.

Inflammation and RLS redux
I've both queried and written about the possible roles that inflammation plays in RLS, but wanted to share what I recently learned, which again indicates that the relationship between the two is complicated. I was recently on methyl prednisone for a few days to calm down post-surgery inflammation

reaction to rituximab
At the beginning of January I had my first 2 infusions of rituximab - all went well but for the first 6 weeks there was no change with my RA. Then at the beginning of March my feet, hands, elbows and face were covered with blisters - saw the GP who sent me away saying it was a reaction to the rituximab

GCA or Occipital Neauralgia
confused. I’ve seen a rheumatologist three times in the last year Re:Temporal Arteritis . I’ve had a biopsy which came back negative, because previously my doctor prescribed steroids for inflammation and head pain. Rheumatologist prescribed 50mg of prednisone after a while to be gradually reduced.

Biopsy Negative for GCA
The vascular surgeon said the biopsy for GCA was negative. I asked him if the biopsy result depends on where he took the biopsy. He said no and that it’s definitely not GCA. It’s up to the rheumatologists to get a diagnosis and I will be calling them tomorrow for an appointment even though they want

NK cells and pcos -steroids or hydroxychloroquine?
Hi all, I’m under Prof Shehata’s NHS clinic (recurrent miscarriage )and my results showed raised NK cells although activation markers were in range. Everything else pretty good too although AMH was very high which is not necessarily a good thing and suggests that my PCOS is back (was diagnosed approx

Hot flushes returned since PMR diagnosis
I thought my hot flushes had gone after 8 years of surviving the menopause but since being diagnosed with PMR in March this year they have returned. I wonder if it’s the condition or the steroids that cause it ? I was lucky and apart from the hot flushes and a few night sweats I didn’t have any after

getting better but anxiety over future
Hi, I was diagnosed with asthma last September after being in hospital for ten days with a bad exacerbation. All out of the blue. I was on oxygen for most of it and coughing up thick green stuff after a chest infection. Could hardly breathe and almost in ICU. After recovering from that I picked up more

research opportunity
Apologies if this is a duplicate. This came from The Vasculitis charity. I was impressed that PMR was included. I have done the interview hour on Teams. Very pleasant and well organised. “Good afternoon, Sarah Mackie has asked us to share this opportunity with you all, and would be happy for you
