Haven't ran in over 18 months
Due to pantar fasciitis I haven't ran for over 18 months. Earlier this year I tried shockwave therapy which eased the pain by about 15% Almost two weeks ago I managed to get a steroid injection. The doctor who performed the injection said it should take about two weeks to see any difference. Well after

Muscle relaxants + painkillers ?
Dentist suggested SSRI (antidepressants) to relax jaw muscles and just wondered if this is something anyone has tried (or any other type of muscle relaxant) perhaps in conjunction with painkillers. These steroids are slowing killing me - all that has happened is life debilitating symptoms are being

Methotrexate
Hi everyone. Anyone on here who has been prescribed methotrexate. I’ve been on hydroxychloroquine for 10 years now. Last year I had a flare up when we had the 2 really hot 🥵 days. After ringing my own drs who told me to use antihistamine cream, medication, cool showers etc, which I’d already done, also

What a start with V+O
Well I finally started my treatment and the first week was quite a roller coaster. Day 1 ,I was only 10 minutes into the treatment and I had a severe reaction. Blood pressure dropped to 70/30 , hot flashes, chills, nausea but 5 nurses did their thing and reversed it pretty quickly. Completed the dose

Advice for hand pain
For the last week I’ve had pain at the base of my left thumb. It’s similar on my right hand but not nearly as sore. It has got worse as the week has gone on. I’m not sure if it’s PMR related or maybe possibly carpal tunnel syndrome. Getting a Doctors appointment at our surgery can take 2weeks so I’m

Cold Turkey
Having recently been hospitalised for dangerously low oxygen I was discharged after 7 days. Still on steroids I started to taper off over a period of 10 days. Within 2 days I felt ill not realising, until a friend suggested , it could be steroid withdrawal. I've had all the symptoms plus loads of crying

Partner out of hospital
Thank you to all the replies I've had on previous posts about my partner. He is now out of hospital but on an awful lot of medication including steroids and tablets that suppress alcohol cravings. He has been diagnosed with Alcoholic Hepatitis for the second time in 2 years. I asked the consultant

I have severe asthma which bag at 40 yr old I’m now 62. I have lots of medications tablets and inhalers etc I’m currently awaiting further tests to check copd and possible suitability for biologics. The only thing that really helps well is steroid tablets which I have at big flare ups from time to time

Anxiety about all the immune based meds
HiIt looks like when I do an embryo transfer I will be on quite a large cocktail of medication. Recommendations for me are IVIG, steroids, clexane, asprin and intramuscular progesterone. I had an array of tests done which showed high NK cells and cytokines and an issue with the blood hence this medley

stopping aspirin temporarily
hi. I’m suffering from really bad sciatica. The orthopaedic surgeon wants to give me a branch block steroid injection (whatever that is) but only if I can come off aspirin (75mg) for a few days. This is because he’s afraid I might bleed into the sciatic nerve, which could be disastrous. I’m seeing my

Liothyronine Trial
I saw an NHS Endocrinologist last week who has agreed to my request for a 3 month trial of Liothyronine, something I have wanted for many years. The suggestion is to drop from 75mcg levothyroxine daily to 25mcg and to take 5mcg of T3 in the morning and again at lunchtime. After nearly 20 years on Levo
