exercise tips
Morning folks , was on 15g pred initially with PMR diagnosis, after a couple of weeks and around 60/70 % pain relief , had a weekend of weird symptoms in my head . As a precaution was put on 40g pred awaiting blood results . My CRP was 17 , the GP said in an ideal world it should’ve gone down to less

Steam inhaler recommendation
I’ve had a chest infection and Sinus infection. On the mend now with help of antibiotics and steroids. I have COPD and Asthma and for the past couple of years if I get a bad cold or some virus it always goes to my chest and Sinus and I end up struggling and needing antibiotics and steroids to recover

Update to anyone interested
Hello, still in pain and still struggling to get a correct diagnosis. My long awaited referral with a specialist Rheumatologist in Oxford lead to yet more insistence that I have fibromyalgia. I don't have fatigue, brain fog, depression, any stomach disorders...just pain in the neck, girdles and legs

Not believed
I was sent to Rheumatology last year as my hand keeps swelling and I can’t bend my fingers. This was after many years of other issues but I never put the puzzle together and thought I could have been suffering with an autoimmune disease. I have suffered with Angioedema since 2017, with my face blowing

Too low or adrenals struggling?
My partner has been on steroids for 3 years, reducing slowly from 20mg with no flares (he's 72 and before pmr was able to join me on 5 to 6 mile walks in the Dales). He is on the last week of a 7 week taper from 3.5mg to 3mg. We had a wonderful two week Nile cruise in November when he was on 4mg .

Itraconazole.
is anybody having problems with Itraconazole. I first found I had Aspergillosis after a bout of pneumonia. I went into hospital for a couple of days. I kept telling the Drs I couldn’t breathe first thing in the morning after I returned home. They didn’t really acknowledge it until one morning I passed

Alendronic Acid and Methotrexate
I've had PMR for about two years. All symptoms vanished completely as soon as I was put on Prednisolone (15mg per day), but I had a bad experience with trying to reduce, as advised by both GPs and my rheumatologist, by large cliff-edge steps--from 15mg to 12.5mg, then 10mg, all in a very few weeks.

Daily Mail Tuesday 19th
I've just read Martin Scurr in the Health Section of Tuesday's Daily Mail. It's the second article after the Tinitus question. Surely the answer should be NO, he is right it isn't a cure either but he should be saying nothing other than steroids works just to be clear. https://newspaper.mailplus.co.uk

PBC, now cirrhosis
HiHad PBC diagnosed for 5 yrs but Alp up since 2012. Been on Urso for 5 yrs and great. In 2021 my ALT was slightly out of range but ignored by the specialist. GP flagged it up January 2023 and I had an ultrasound just showed enlarged spleen. Fibroscan in April jumped from stage one to bottom of stage

Metaxalone.
I was diagnosed with PMR September 2023 but I'm unable to have steroids. Due to a heart condition I'm also unable to have Immuno suppresants. My Rheumy has now prescribed Metaxalone for pain relief. Reading the side effects I'm not sure I'm happy to take them as they can affect your kidneys and liver

Further Update After Flare
So.....bit of an update.....having had a dip in symptoms a couple of weeks after dropping from 12.5mg to 10mg of steroids I finally took the advice to bump back up from 10mg to 15mg in a bid to clear up whatever inflammation build up there is in my body having clearly gone too low too quickly...... Bit
