Help with tapering Prednisone
I was diagnosed with PMR finally in Oct 23 after ending up in hospital unable to move. Doctors have been very dismissive and I have seen rheumatologist once and been signed off. I started on Prednisone at 12.5mg then reduced to 10 mg and have been told to reduce by 1mg per month. Is this a realistic

Chondocalcitis incurable?
At least that's how I think it's spelt. It's a specialised form of RA and I have it in my left knee (along with normal RA in shoulders, elbows, wrists and fingers.It's also called Pseudogout but as the crystals in Chondocalcitis are calcium they can't be dispersed as the uric acid crystals in ordinary

1 year on from heart attack and stent fitted. Still struggling.
I walked to the hospital for an appointment today, for a pre-op for a knee replacement. The hospital is only half a mile. On the way back I was out of breath and experiencing pain in the top left hand side of my chest and light-headed, and I had to sit and catch my breath. At the pre-op they checked

knee replacement
hi, I’m due to have a knee replacement in a few weeks and wondered if anyone who has had the procedure experienced any issues. I’m aware of my issues regarding medication ie allergy to warfarin but ok with heparin and have opted for an epidural but my concern is with the implant itself being rejected

I was on here quite a bit after a
total
knee
replacement
two years ago. Nothing much seemed to help that wasn't either an opoid or some other harsh drug.

Ouch that hurt 🤕
Involved in RTC on Friday, luckily just Bruised Ribs and abdomen.I have spondylitis, damaged discs lumber to sacral, and am awaiting a new hip, which is playing havoc with my TKR, so the added pain really wasn't needed. Hopefully this app will help me get motivated.

CHANGE OF BIOLOGIC TREATMENT
Hello, I have had Rheumatoid arthritis since my late 30s (77 now). I had several biologic treatments , some of which did not really control the RA well… The best biologic was Enbrel (Etanercept) weekly injections. It gave me my life back for 14 years until I had my second knee replacement operation

I need advice about taking Hydroxycarbamide
I’m 70 years old and just been diagnosed with ET Jak2. I’ve been put on 500 mg of Hydroxycarbamide but I’ve just received my script and read the leaflet and side effects and I’m afraid to start them. I had a knee replacement 5 months ago and took a blood clot followed by night sweats and a viral infection

CLL diagnosis
Hello all, I have just been diagnosed with CLL, because of a blood test in preparation for knee replacement surgery! I have a no symptoms other than mild fatigue.

Knee relacement
Hi, I have osteoarthritis in my left knee and am now scheduled for a half knee replacement in a couple of weeks time. I was wondering if anyone has had one recently? I am wondering how long it will take to recover and any other useful insights people might have?

Hello, I was wondering if anyone could possibly help me with some advice. Unfortunately, because I am under 60 years of age, I have basically been told I will not get a knee replacement until I am 60 or over, but I am now unable to weigh bare because of my knees, and I do mean unable to even put any

I was shocked to be told I need a
total
knee
replacement
- it’s OA I have in my knee and it’s bone on bone hence the pain. If I’d come to him even a year ago - I might have been able to lose weigh etc and buy more time - but too late now.

Missing a day of Zytiga
Is it a big deal to miss a day of Zytiga+Pred? I’m having a knee replacement on Monday and I’m not supposed to have any food in the AM.

buprenorphine, pregablin, opiates
Hi all. In the ongoing battle to get things stable I have been able to decrease my buprenorphine to under .5mg sublingual (from 2mg) and pregablin to 100mg (from 225mg). RLS is mostly managed well which is terrific but I can't say that I feel much less tired overall having decreased dosages. Like
