it's back
After over 5 years with no symptoms, PMR and GCA have suddenly returned. Dr has put me back on steroids, so here we go again. Nobody seems to know why this suddenly happens.

Hi, just wondering if anyone had any suggestions- I had flu I think, then bacterial chest infection, 1 week amoxicillin and 1 week clarithromycin and prednisolone (asthma had flared up - I’m on fostair and montelukast and had been well managed for 2 years) .

Recurring infections?
Hi. I have been on steroids since last April - currently 10mg daily - for suspected GCA (tests were inconclusive so going on initial symptoms and response to medication) . Have been reasonably well and side effects limited to some fatigue and weight gain. However in the month or so before Christmas my

CCR6 & CCL20 are the key drivers in prostate tumor microenvironment.
This is a very good Feb 2023 article but it’s best to scroll down to get out of the weeds to the crux of the biscuit. The crux of this biscuit is a well known inflammatory cytokine CCL20 and it’s receptor CCR6. https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-023-36325-2

Extra steroids?
Having had my first cold since before the pandemic after Christmas, I went off the to the doctors about 10 days ago because although I felt I'd recovered I was deaf in one ear and had sticky eyes. One ear hadn't 'popped' on the flight out or back to the UK and once the cold kicked in it got worse. Currently

Anyone having CLL and Ulcerative Colitis(UC) treatments? I have just been diagnosed with having ulcerative colitis. Steroids I am recieving for the UC seem to be increasing my CLL white cell count. Thanks, larrcow

Worried About (Possible) Recent Diagnosis of PMR.
Around 3 months ago I became aware of increasing aches and pains in my arms and legs and an overwhelming exhaustion. I’m normally a fit and active 73 year old. My neck felt stiff but I put that down to wear and tear as I also have worn discs in my lower spine which I manage with Pilates. GP sent me

Hi. I'm new here. I haven't been well since before Christmas. Initially I had a bit of a sore throat which I thought then turned into a virus- cough and sinus symptoms, shivers etc. A fortnight ago I felt pain in my chest- centre and at left hand side along ribs and behind breastbone area. Also at

Awful
Been on dupilimab for coming up to a year.I have had no steroids for a year. The duplimab is not as good as prednisilone at damping things down - I cough a lot and sneeze a lot - I usually need a blast of my inhaler because I struggle to breathe after a bout of sneezing. I have noticed since late November

Had anyone tried LDN?
I've been clear of all medicine for the last couple of years. However, my latest MRI of my hands and wrists has shown lots of inflammation around the tendons and bones in my hand. My rheumatologist wants me to start taking steroids and then other immune suppressants further down the road. I have many

best way to reduce Prednisolone
I have tried to come off Prednisolone for PMR for the last 8 years by slow reduction. However, my diagnosis has recently been changed to MS and advised to definitely come of Steroids. Fatigue is a massive problem for me. I am currently on 5mg of Pred daily but have just had opposite views from 2 Doctors

Covid recovery and steroids
using the dsns method I had got down to 0.5 mg steroids in December but then I got covid. The first symptoms that I experienced were like a pmr flare. I increased the steroids to 5 mg . After two weeks of slow recovery I then went rapidly downhill and went to the doctor. I have asthma and was very breathless
