SUDDEN Rise in ESR - Pt. 3
Hello, Thank you again to the kind folks that commented on my last posts re: Sudden Rise in ESR. Here is the post-appointment with the rheumatologist update. The rise of the ESR from 0 to 93 in 2 months time is a complete surprise to the treatment team and is not considered chronic. In addition to the

Statins & Steroids
I’ve been advised to take statins due to high cholesterol levels of 7.0, Serum triglycerides 2.3, HDL 2.5, HDL ratio 2.8, LDL 3.4, non HDL 4.5. I’m reluctant to take more meds but I’m unclear of the meaning of all the results and if I should take statins or not. I’ve read some articles stating that

Skin reaction to bone growth stimulator electrode pads
I got a weepy itchy rash from the electode pads. I was prescribed steroid cream that only helped a tad. I ended up getting weird rashes and itching on random areas of my body and am now on a oral steroid that is working very well. Just curious if anyone has had this happen. Surgeon said to stop wearing

Not sure what to expect?
Hi all I’ve managed to get an appointment with the Rheumy nurse today f2f. I started on Sulfasalazine just over 2 years ago, I was slow to improve and had steroid injections to help along the way. I changed trusts after one year due to lack of appointments and just general mayhem prompted by my GP.

confusing advice
hi, I have been diagnosed for several years now with PMR plus side hiccups of GCA ( which, thankfully I did not have). My steroid dosage has altered from 50 msg to 15 msg over the years. My inflammation rates plus liver enzymes refuse to go down. At present I am on 9mgs steroids. I saw a rheumatologist

Do steroids mask infection
I had a total knee replacement on 25th Nov. Took 10 mgs of Pred (double dose re Sick Day rules). On 24th Dec got infection in scar - stitch abcess for which I got antibiotics from MIU. Saw Ortho surgeon a few days later who told me to stop taking antibiotics because they would mask bacterial infection

Flying with asthma
Hi all -- Has anyone here done research on flying with asthma? My understanding is that planes are pressurized to about 2 km altitude -- is that correct? Another potential issue is the air humidity -- does anyone know if the air is humidified, or is it only heated? If the air is only heated, the humidity
