incorrect dose of prednisolone?
Just less than a month ago, I reduced my first prednisolone dose from 15mg to 12.5mg. This was after a blood test. I wasn’t keen to reduce by more than ten percent, especially as I was going to be travelling a long way and be away for Xmas and new year, then home for two days and away again for eight

Numb face and tinnitus
I can only assume this is related to my LVV (Large Vessel Vasculitis) but three months ago I woke up to a slightly numb face, checked myself out in terms of stroke etc, but knew it wasn’t that, plus tinnitus which I do have occasionally but this is now all the time and can be pretty loud at times. Saw

RLS on steroids down one side of my body
Hi everyone, I have had RLS since I was a teenager and am now in my 50s. I have long periods of time where I don't have any symptoms (thank God!) However, there are times when it feels as if there's a long cord or nerve from just under my ear down into my shoulder blade and then on that same side of

Blood tests 'normal' but PMR symptoms
Hi all, I was diagnosed with PMR in Jan 2022. I started with 25mg of pred, which worked within a day and tapered down gradually. It took a while to get down from 10mg and i had a few ups and downs with dosage. I was on 2mg for a while and the GP i saw for meds review (a new GP) was pushing me to come

Feeling adrenal fatigue?
Woke up yesterday very dizzy. Threw up my coffee. Went back to bed and slept three hours. Felt well enough to go to a friend’s house for dinner. Slept about nine hours. Dizzy again and very tired. No coughing, congestion, fever, sore throat. It has been about three weeks since I cut steroids to

ra associated eye ulcers

At the time, I was given some very helpful advice and information by Kags1068. Since then, I have had 4 more ulcers (my eyes take it in turns), and am currently in week

Is all the extra medication needed?

After high doses of Pred at the beginning with a possible threat of GCA,, which did not occur, I have yo-yoed a bit with stresses in life. However I am currently on 7 and a half mg and

Symbicort 100/6 to 200/6
Hi, I've been trying out Montelukast, (4 weeks now but no noticeable improvement). So the asthma nurse has now suggested trying increasing my Symbicort from the 100/6 (I take 2 puffs morning and night) to the 200/6. Is this likely to make any particular difference? I think the theory is, it's better

My awful day and unexpected update from G.P
Following on from my previous post where I received so much advice and support which was so appreciated, thank you. Unfortunately, today didn't go so well. Firstly my GP was not in the practice and I was passed on to a locum (Who i have seen before). I was assertive and requested he support my decision

Dr Mackie is looking for pople willing to try Methotrexate for her STERLING PMR study
As above, she is looking for people who have PMR, don’t have GCA, and have had trouble tapering their steroids. And would be ok in principle to consider trying methotrexate. They would have to be local or able to travel to Leeds. If you are already on methotrexate then you would not be eligible to

Follow up to my last post about nausea & unable to eat.

MART (maintenance as reliever therapy)
Hi, I’m just wondering if MART should work for most people? We’ve tried it recently (I say we because me and my GP have a good relationship and typically we work together on things like a team) and it didn’t help much. However I’m currently in the middle of a flare up (thank you cold weather + chest

Broncholidator Reversibility Test
Hi, I posted a few days ago about my team wanting to do a broncholidator reversibility test and FeNO before they put me forward for biologics. I wasn't going to do the test, then decided to do it, incase it did show reversibility to save time waiting for a referral to Wynthenshawe as my current hospital

Swollen lymph nodes in neck
Hello everyone. This feels like a bit of a random question. I am taking Fostair 200/6 and have developed swollen and tender lymph nodes on the left side of my neck. I have no other symptoms of any infection. Could this be linked to the steroid inhaler? I haven’t contacted the doctor yet as I was waiting
