So I'm trying to find ways to get motivated to exercise. I want to lose weight in preparation for a transplant. I have no donor yet, but I was told I would gain weight from steroids taken after your transplant. Can anyone give more insight on that? I at least want to try. I'm on my second week of clean

Body Shutdown
I've had two occasions this month where my body has been none responsive! The first one was me climbing some stairs to get to the bathroom at my friend's apartment on 4/3. As I went up step by step I started to feel weird. As I walk through the apartment with a cane, I notice my balance was more off

Prednisolone and diarrhoea
Been on steroids for suspected GCA not quite three weeks now - went down from 50 mg to 40mg after first week. Not generally feeling too bad though not as bright as I was in the first few days of steroid honeymoon. Am having some issues with loose and sudden stools which initially I thought were an antibiotic

Lupus & Sjogrens skin rash
Hi, Just wondering if anyone can give some tips. I have both Lupus and Sjogrens and photosensitivity for past 7 yrs ( skin rash caused by alergic reaction to PPI for stomach) . It took a lot of trial and error before Dermatologist and rheumatologist found something that worked. On 6 monthly Rituximab

Dexamethasone & Chloramphenicol. Do they cause blurred vision?
Went down to eye casualty as still had sensitivity and irritation from my cataract op though my vision was clear. No infection but the eye is very dry still. Seems the dry eye drops aren't doing a lot. I need to use my heat mask at least once a day. They've stopped the Betamethasone I was given after

Stronger than steroids
I have had nasty asthma attacks for four days now, as the weather has got cold again. The asthma nurse says that she will ask the consultants permission to move me on to something stronger than fostair 200, to avoid having to give more pred. Any ideas as to which inhaler she could be referring to

Struggling to get a definite diagnosis
I was originally diagnosed with PMR in May 2021 by a very helpful GP. All was well for the first few months but on reducing I hit a wall at 8mgs. When I went to see GP I was disappointed that she had moved on but not particularly worried. How wrong I was. Over the next few months I was told to increase

Coming off Steroids
Since being told I have no active inflammation, I thought I would try and come off the steroids. I'm only on a couple of Budesonide as a maintenance treatment. Anyway things were going OK ish, till my last day of taking 1 tablet. During my taper, I've become very tired, even more so than I normally am

Gardening wobbles
Hello, Today I had to prune the rose bushes and the bush roses, in a terraced front garden. However, I was disappointed to find that it was hard going, because I felt weak,a bit unsure and a bit wobbly. I’m 77 but have seen older people gardening with gusto. I used to do a lot in the garden and last
