Any advice?
Hi all, 👋 I was wondering whether some of you lovely people might be able to give me some advice. Apologies in advance for this super long message! 😅 Back in 2017 I had two really bad exacerbations with my asthma, involving lots of pred and antibiotics, which led to me moving from fostair to seretide

Does Prednisolone cause anxiety, panic and depression?
I’ve been diagnosed with lupus end of Jan 2023. Since then I have been on prednisone for 8 months, high dose 25 mg to start with now reduced considerably to 5mg. I also take a range of other medications like Hydroxychloroquine, Myfenax, Lansoproazole and Losartan potassium. I have been really struggling

getting a diagnosis
my son had persistent dry cough as a child, no inhalers worked but he never saw a specialist. A course of oral steroids sorted him out for a good while. He is now 23 and a professional singer, classically trained but suffers with reflux, persistent cough, and gets every virus on his chest. Recently

Hello and Pred dose increase?
Hi, This is my first post although I read HU with interest and have learned so much for which I’m deeply grateful . I was diagnosed by a rheumatologist with ‘atypical’ PMR and hip bursitis back in February 2023 largely on the excellent effect that Pred had on my aches and pains. They were unilateral

Steroid Withdrawal???
Hello all, I've posted on here before, but mostly in answer to other people's posts about PMR and Pred issues. This time however, I am posting about my visit to my rheumie last Thursday (5th Oct) which was only the second time I've seen a rheumie in 13 years. I saw her first in May of this year, and

New ER for low hemoglobin
I am preaching to the choir to tell you that the US healthcare is a mess. I still do not have answers or a transfusion. My hem/onc wanted me back in the ER, and last night’s ER doctor did not do all the bloodwork she wanted even though the two hospitals are in the same system. I chose to go to Yale Nee

Wasting—losing muscle mass
I have lost almost 30 lbs since Nov, but I recently learned only 11 pounds were fat. My lower arms and legs are skin and bone at 146 lbs. Am on diabetes meds, and just got off Mounjaro. I am tapering steroids (arms and legs good and bruised). But I understand steroids can cause wasting. Any

Alternatives to steroids for PMR
Hi, I am still awaiting diagnosis for what to me is almost certainly PMR. My GP seems happy to let me take a vast cocktail of other pills but won't prescribe steroids not least because amazingly my CRP and ESR tests came in normal. So I'm on Naproxen and paracetamol (two of each at a time), one amitriptyline

Consultant doesn't believe my diagnosis
Hi everyoneA couple of months ago I saw my respiratory consultant after a long time because I'd been having a lot of flare ups which needed prolonged doses of steroids and often antibiotics but for some reason he told me that he doesn't think that I actually have asthma and that my inhalers and nebuliser

Feel like giving up.
For unknown reasons other than we think Rituxumab is not working for you any more my medication was changed to Kevzera (Sarilulmab) in November. The work up checks were done and good to go apart from a Chest X Ray as I hadn't had one for a while. A shadow area was found on my lung with suspected

Thank you and update 🙂
Just to say thank you to everyone who answered my multiple post earlier this year and in the summer. I’ve been taking Cellcept for 3 months now with no serious side effects and think I’m seeing benefits now. Hardly any pain which is something I never imagined saying!! Having been up and down trying

Microscopic colitis associated with RA
Well the colonoscopy didn't happen two weeks ago due to having to give up a non RA medication I was too ill to go. Update it's next week and I can stay on the medication until the day of the colonoscopy. A biopsy is needed to confirm MC and then the treatment of steroids. You may wonder why I'm telling
