A reply to Wasabigirl’s post about PID (?) which has since been deleted
You could ask for an MRI of the lower pelvis and muscles there. A sonogram generally cant see those areas (nor a laparoscopy or laparotomy) and pain in those areas can refer to the groin. I had an infection and was only treated with tetracycline for 5 days (many years ago). Then the terrible burning

CGA and urogram
Hi All good advisers. Have been on pred for CGA since July 2023, starting at 60mg. now at 12 mg with very slow taper. I am having a kidney urogram this April. I am also on metformin 3 x daily 500 mg. I have read that I should stop taking metformin before this procedure. How many days before should

Fennel Seeds
Hi everyone, I've recently done some research into fennel seeds, and I've read that apparently it contains a compound called Anethole, which helps to relax the muscles in your digestive tract. I was just wondering if anyone here has eaten fennel seeds before and can verify this. I am looking for ways

Bronchoscopy
I’ve been in hospital for 3+ weeks while they try to work out what is causing me to have spikes of temperature, even though my infection markers have dropped. Last night I was told I would be having a bronchoscopy this morning, so not a lot of sleep! I forgot to ask how long these results take to

Pegasys side effects
I was switched from 500 Hydroxyurea/day to 90mg Pegasys every two weeks. The pain in hips and thighs is substantial - headache also, but not as bothersome as the muscle pain. Has anyone else experience this on Pegasys. Also, has anyone tried CoQ10 for muscle pain and has it work? Thanks

Very worried about Mom
Hello everyone - wish you all a healthy path.My Mother was admitted to the hospital Monday morning and we found out she had urinary infection that went to her kidney and then blood. She had stopped taking venetoclax since Sunday. They are giving her antibiotics but her blood counts are out of whack.

Pelvic pain and sex
Hi , sorry sounds like a stupid question - Does sex hurt with reoccurring pelvic pain ? Can it trigger the pain to come back or an infection to start if someone has abscess in pelvic area such as fallopian tubes or near ovaries?

First Injection of Pegasys
I FINALLY got approved for Pegasys, and am to pick it up at the pharmacy by Wednesday. My question is does the first injection happen in the Drs. office, or at home?? Were you given physical instructions for how to give the injection? I have written instructions that were sent to me with the approval

QUICK TAPER; CRP RISING STEADILY; FLARING
As suspected, the very quick taper rheumy thought up (2.5 mg per week til I get to 10, then reducing 1 mg per month), has caused a flare and I'm in pre-PMR pain - almost). Currently at 12 mg but should be down to 9 by now, if I was to go with her guidelines. GP refuses to let me up the pred saying "it's

Travel Vaccinations
Hi. I have already emailed my Rheumatology Team but thought I would also ask for others experiences. I am considering travelling to countries which recommend vaccinations for things like Polio, Diphtheria, Hep A and B, Cholera, Tetanus etc. Now, I have had some of these in the past but longer than 10
