Immunology when using donor eggs
Hello Hope everyone is doing as well as they can be Sorry to be writing again. I don't really know where else to ask these kind of questions. We have looked into donor egg treatment both in UK and abroad and have had a few consultations. But remain undecided on the clinic and I don't know if that's

Up and Running F
First week of Methotrexate 10mg and Folic Acid 5mg, same this week, then methotrexate up to 15mg. I just need to find out when to reduce the steroids to 30 mg. I am on 40 mg at the moment and all is ok.

Glad I did I was sent straight to hospital with a letter to be seen immediately by a rheumatologist. My CRP was 139 and I was started on

Hi, new to this page/forum, looking for information and advice.
Have been on PAS page and Thyroid UK page for a few years but just thought I'd be greedy and join yourselves too. Have been having increasing levels of pain and discomfort for years but just told lose weight, take brufen. Last few years have been awful , eventually got a referral to Rheumatology. Bloods

Steroids not working?
I’ve just had a 5 day rescue course of prednisolone due to an asthma flare. However, my peak flow is still only about 70% and I have an itchy, scratchy throat and cough. I don’t actually have a cold so I’m not sure what’s going on. I’ve never had a course of steroids before where it hasn’t made me completely

how long to recover
I have been unwell with an infection and exacerbation of my asthma. I usually carry on working as long as I can when I’m on steroids and antibiotics but I have been off work for a week and I feel guilty. 2 courses of pred down and still wheezy. I think I will need another course but it is getting better

I have always been troubled with psoriasis, and my rheumatologist said I can expect my psoriasis to flare while I am reducing of my steroids, but I have now developed a a rash in different parts of my body like wee blisters or hives and they are so itchy

update on subacute thyroiditis
Just posting an update on my experience with subacute thyroiditis. Thanks for the support in this forum! Since mid August I was quite unwell with classic symptoms of thyroiditis (significant neck pain, high inflammatory markers) and became quite thyrotoxic. I was eventually given a course of steroids

any one had to stop work due to health?
Iam 61, had thought I’d work until I was at least 65. I’ve just had a year off during which I had a craniotomy and RT as well as dealing with taking steroids for GCA which isn’t helping! I have just started a phased return to work. Work have been amazing and my return is very flexible. However, I don
