Has anyone had breast surgery or any other kind really while still on 15mg Prednisolone. It’s making me very nervous. Been down to 6mg but back on 30mg because of GCA/ vasculitis flare. Reduced to 15mg but a bit stuck. Waiting to see Rheumatologist in 2 weeks.

Alzheimer's, APOE4 gene and HRT - testing for the APOE4 gene
In the news today (14 January 2023) they talk about the possible reduction in Alzheimer's from taking HRT. I cannot take HRT (and have no desire to) due to my ovarian (sub-type endometrioid) cancer and endometrial cancer both being oestrogen receptor positive. However, what I found interesting to read

Moving on from a Tracheostomy
Sorry - another question from me. As it was a slightly different topic, I thought I'd start a new thread. My dad has had a trachy now for just over two weeks, following two weeks fully sedated on a ventilator due to pneumonia. He is much improved and breathing unaided for 36 hours so far. He is also

Vasculitis of the eye
I have vasculitis of the eye and have steroid implants in the eye. Now the ozurdex implant is wearing away and the oedema is back in the eye. The immunosuppressant ( metothexrate) which is I was using for 16 weeks has not managed to stop the oedema. Till ozurdex was present, oedema was at bay. Now that

DVT anxiety
After having a niggly ache to my leg which I'd ignored for a couple of weeks as just getting old....just turned 60...on Friday night I experienced intense pain in that same calf which frightened me. The calf is bigger than the other but has been thus for years. Got seen on Saturday, DDimer positive,

shortness of breath
Can anyone share advice? I have had Bronchiectasis for over 20 years, if not lifelong. And now I have the vascular disease MPA, or Microscopic Polyangiitis. I have become short of breath upon exertion.

PTSD from chronic illness?
Hello lovely people, I’ve been reading recently about the trauma resulting from living with chronic illness. It seems there is a growing body of research acknowledging the traumatic effects of living with a threat that resides in your own body (something they’re calling Enduring Somatic Threat). I

Question
Besides having PTSD and anxiety, I'm also Type 1 Diabetic. I'm on the fence about getting a service dog. I think one would help a lot not only with my PTSD/anxiety, but also my Type 1 Diabetes, since its uncontrolled. Part of me wants to get one because I think it would really help in my everyday life

Interesting article: Decreased risk of dementia in patients with AF taking oral anticoagulants
https://n.neurology.org/content/early/2022/12/29/WNL.0000000000206748 “Conclusions: In patients with incident NVAF, OACs were associated with a decreased risk of dementia, particularly in the elderly. This warrants consideration when weighing the risks and benefits of anticoagulation in this population

When do you stop Actemra
I have had four infusions of Actemra. I am down to 4 mg of prednisone with no real pain. I really would like to stop the Actmera due to the side affects. At what point is it okay to stop it?

eXroid treatment for Piles
For those who suffer in silence, are petrified of surgery or other invasive treatments for piles and are fed up with the horrible pain (like me) - look at eXroid treatment. The website is exroid.com

Dental extraction.
My question is regarding dental extraction. At the end of this month, I am due to have four dental extractions: Two stumps (it’s a long story); the root of a crown which came off recently and where there is insufficient root left to re-join the crown; and a leaking abscess which appeared the day before

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
