Due to Finish Steroids but Still Covid Positive
Hi! Last Wednesday I became very unwell, eventually Thursday morning the dreaded 2 lines appeared on my LFTs! After the initial 25/48 hours the actual illness seems to have improved, my temperature has come down and stayed down no issue, and I just feel completely weak and wiped out! I spoke to GP

Lung Reduction
Hi my name is Robin and I'm 69, I retied 3 year ago after 51 years as a Carpenter and Joiner. I looked forward to retirement and life in our new home, but that wasn't to be as I'd been living with bronchiectasis and emphysema for nine years which had slowly got worse. 2 months after I retied I suddenly

4am Wake up call
Good Morning everyone I am currently on 8mg Pred and managing the pmr for now. However, I have been waking up every morning at between 4-5 am and can’t get back to sleep. I don’t have pain but just a bit of stiffness when I wake up. I have been on Pred for over 2 years and this is a new issue. I know

Day unit for steroid injection?
I've just rang the Rheumy nurse to chase up my 'urgent' steroid injection because it's usually them that do it She said that my consultant had asked the Hospital Day Unit to send me an appointment for it. Has anyone ever known this before? I'm very confused.

Update
I had an rheumatologist appointment 8 February which was thorough and resulted in a plan of action. It took until the next morning to process it all but it’s encouraging that action is being taken. My pred was increased to 30 for 2 weeks and then will slowly be reduced. A booster steroid injection that

Has anyone had similar symptoms?
It all started at the beginning of July..I went to a spa and had a chemical reaction. I was wrongly told to use a steroid cream and thrush pessary and cream and not long after using these I developed pain inside my vagina and a feeling of a full bladder. The pain inside would flare up and down and felt

Recurring head injury pain
Hello. Has anyone had recurring pain following head injury? If so, how did you deal with it? Also, are there any natural remedies for pain from head injury? I had a road traffic accident at the age of 6 that permanently broke off a large portion of my skull and had many side effects. Some time ago

Consultant rang me
My consultant has just rang me and we had a long chat. She says diarrhea this long after stopping Leflunomide isn't common but yes it can happen. So of course it would happen to me! Story of my life basically. Anyway, I explained about my hands/fingers swollen, my arms not working etc etc and she is

recent blood test shows low cortisol and high triglycerides-advice on further tests or treatment to discuss with endocrinologist
Hi all, I have recently been to see an endocrinologist who has agreed to prescribe t3 on the provision that all other results are ok on my recent blood test as my conversion on t4 to t3 is very low. The results have shown a suspected cortisol deficiency along with high triglycerides. I have also started

Five year old non stop dry cough
I'm at the end of my tether. Our five year old has had 7 asthma "flares" since starting school in September. The asthma nurse tells us we have to manage these with ventolin. They last three to four days, he coughs absolutely non stop, gets out of breath talking and doesn't sleep. They refuse to prescribe

How To Tell If Ventolin Inhaler Is Running Out?
Hi! So I have been diagnosed with Asthma for the last few years, my main trigger is pollen/hay fever… I have been very well controlled since switching from the brown Clenil to the pink Fostair 100/6… however I have contracted Covid, which has triggered an Asthma flare (currently on Steroids which seem

It's been a few days since I last posted. I've got 2 days of antibiotics left and I finished my second course of steroids yesterday but still feeling really poorly. My chest keeps getting really tight and I'm coughing a lot, my chest was relatively clear when my Dr listened and my Sat's were 98. I don't

What to do if dry air is a trigger?
Hi. I haven’t traveled since before the pandemic and when I did travel I had a flare. I needed to take a prednisone pack in order to breathe and keep away from the hospital on my trip. I’m thinking about traveling again and wondering if from now on I will need to take steroids when I travel somewhere

Covid vaccines for encephalitis survivors
I know we all have a right to make our own decisions, but my nightmare experience with Covid means I think vaccinations are important for encephalitis survivors . I had Covid in 2020, before the vaccines were available . I developed a severe cough that made my chest so tight that I couldn’t

I think I might need a second opinion regarding my Behçet’s diagnosis & management. What do you think?
I was treated with
topical
steroids
by my GP, and I contacted the Behçet’s clinic.

Advice pleaae
Hi hopefully someone give me some advice or reassurance. I’ve suffered with IBS for along time, several years ago I developed acid reflux, had an Endoscopy which confirmed some scarring, given medication which in most has helped. Fast forward 8/9 weeks ago I developed a barking cough for about 16/18

Ectopic Beats or Something More?
I thought it might be interesting to tell of my recent experience following my 6th covid booster. I have had a long history of experiencing ectopic beats...first diagnosed almost 40yrs ago when I was in my 20's. The cardiologist at the time explained that they are simply extra beats that can feel quite

I am better!
Dear Dorset Lady, I developed PMR at New Year 2020. I was put on 15 mg Pred and I have 'stuck to the script' since then. I was warned that I was border line diabetes when I started on the Pred and sure enough, I soon became diabetic, probably because of the steroids. I also had AF (Atrial Fibrillation
