I’m scared
I have been diagnosed with autoimmune hepatitis and my consultant is saying that my most recent scan suggests more scaring than they previously thought . I need to stay on steroids now for longer and then reduce more slowly. My blood tests are all good and I feel well but this has scared me . I should

Pred 'the controlled drug' update
Just to let you know... It's taken a couple of weeks, but at long last I have had a return call from the manager at my Surgery. She was very apologetic about the information given by the receptionist and explained its likely there's been a misunderstanding, probably due to so many chest infections being

undiagnosed, any suspicions/advice welcome
sorry I know no one can advise diagnosis as not clinical but just looking for suggestions and advice for when I see the cardiologist team. For two weeks I’ve been breathless, feeling unwell with lightheadedness when my heart rate goes too high, feeling sick, extremely exhausted. I’m asthmatic and

Adalimumab & Fatigue
I started on Amgevita (Adalimumab) in mid-December after 6 wobbly years on Methotrexate (15mg injection). Disease activity was increasing but other drugs tried made me unwell. Steroids worked well but not sustainable. I eventually agreed to get onto biologics with some trepidation. I’ve had 4 doses

Prednisone roller coaster ride over...and stable.
I think it was Bette Davis that said, "Hang on, it's going to be a bumpy ride." or something like that. I take anticonvulsants though I've been seizure free for 48 years. Anticonvulsants and prednisone do not like each other....the prednisone waters down the anticonvulsant and your brain feels like

Vertigo and PD?
I found a 2021 study with this: Conclusion: Prodromal otological symptoms might be associated with a reduced risk of motor progression in PD. Anyone know how often vertigo is a sign of PD? Last few days I've had small bouts of vertigo. Without warning the room begins to swim. Or rather it rotates

Second GP visit following private Thyroid Panel
Hi Looking for some guidance please. I was picked up on a blood test about 18 months ago and am now taking Levothyroxine. I haven't seen much improvement (or side effects) but am now considered "managed" by the GP as my TSH is now within range. I had asked for further test and these were declined so

Last November 2022, after a referral from my GP, to the hospital Rheumatologist, I was given a working diagnosis of Polymyalgia. I had experienced shoulder problems since 2019, and been treated with steroid injections, intensive physio, and Prednisolone, but throughout 2022, things had got really severe

Exhausted but happy.

pulse of steroids
Hi I had an IV pulse of steroids last Thursday, I was wondering what experience others might have had with this. Initial results were good, better pain relief, swelling in hands much improved, but I still have pain within each joint, especially wrists and knees.
